Checked out Global Strongman Gym today, it’s a fucking matchbox, bro; but it’s a damn manly matchbox. Literally opened the door, and what’s on the back? A FUCKING VIKING SHIELD. I also saw a circus DB for the first time in my life; it looked like 2 feet long.
This should be a tonne of fun; a metric tonne, to be specific.
Gonna start in 4-6 weeks after this off season type thing to make sure I don’t run into an injury on my first carry.
I have returned from the dead to show you awesomeness:
Bodyweight: 242lb
This was the first lift of the day. Pretty fun.
Holding on the this slippery sum 'a bitch was hard, which is why I missed 315.
This was EASY; pissed that the next camera guy didn’t get my 300/hand.
All in all, great session.
This is my first day training this move. I could have definitely done this 2-3 times, but hey, first time.
I’ve also come to the conclusion that carries (kegs, stones, sandbags), and stone loading will result in more elbow flexor hypertrophy than ANY amount of curling I could do.
1st Workout:
Log Clean and Press Each Rep: 222.275x7x2
Did some stones (230) to 54 inches, and did some work on my shitty pick.

Today:
Looks like you’re having all kinds of fun there. Where’s dat dere bodyweight at?
About 245 carbed up, trying to get down to like 230 carbed up.
So, yesterday, hit a 640 yoke for 50 feet. Honestly the hard part is stopping the momentum (can’t just drop it, we’re on the second floor).
Damn, Haven’t updated this in a while,
