40lb stone PR. Ugly but it counts, looking forward to when weights are announced to see how it stacks up

Nice work on that stone PR. Canā€™t be easy doing stone with short arms

203

My biggest problem is Iā€™m bad at the triple extension and the bar is almost neck height, shouldering just seems to work better. I actually missed 240 twice going straight up then got 240 and 280 first try shouldering.

Happy with the weight though because I remember how much of a grind 240 was a year ago and that was after training it for a while

Comp weights announced! Looks like Iā€™ll be able to do most of it, depends on heat and how the day goes. With the progress Iā€™m seeing on circus dbell and stones, I think Iā€™ll be ready on Aug 3rd.

Left arm getting better but the AMRAP shows the difference in arms. I think Iā€™ll get at least a few reps on comp day, the comp handle is 3" though which I think is a bit wider than what Iā€™m training with

Think I can get stone for 1-3 reps. PR is a very ugly 280 but that was my first day of stones in almost exactly 1 year and I got it on my first attempt with no tacky or even chalk.

Farmers walk felt strong AF at 5lbs under my pr, didnā€™t even feel like they were slipping. I think itā€™s because I learned where to position my hand so when I overgrip it, it gets stuck on skin folds rather than just calluses. Frame carry should go okay (AKA I wonā€™t do great but probably wonā€™t take last)

So turns out the farmer handles are 45lbs, not 25lbsā€¦ Makes my PR look a lot bigger woooo.

Farmer walk, stones, and circus dbell are making crazy progress after just a month and I have a little more than a month to keep training until comp day. I feel pretty decent about where Iā€™m at (AKA probably wonā€™t zero half the events, this show is known for being heavy most years)but really feel that in another month I might actually be pretty good at these and place decent.

Believe the hype!

Thanks! Comp goal is to not zero. I imagine a few people will so a rep or two should place decent.

Hereā€™s the deload workout plus first day back on the grind. (Hate deload workouts so much that I skipped Thursday, oh well)

Saturday workout was long but hit good numbers on everything and a 10lb pr on circus dbell.

3/5 attempts with 280lb stone. Hopefully means 1-2 with the 300 on comp day. Assuming a couple peeps will 0 it so looking to get some points there.

Circus dbell AMRAP going well, main reason to stop is it starts slipping on my sweat during the dip.

Conservative with squats today, back was a little beat up from stones. I wanted to get a classmate to dig an elbow into my mid back but hard to find time with midterms and the holiday.

Weā€™ll keep plugging along. The plan for comp is last place in car deadlift and keg toss. Some points in frame carry and stone, semi decent placing with circus dbell. Letā€™s not take last overall!

chalk chalk and more chalk!

I did! I sweat when itā€™s 65 degrees and itā€™s been 80ish in the gym (warmer outside but the AC isnā€™t very good)

214

Overhead movements feeling strong, might try to sneak in 1 rep with the left arm on comp day

So as of right now thereā€™s only 2 people in my weight class compared to 9 last yearā€¦ 2nd place here I come!

Squats felt really strong this week. Had some weird trap/neck pain wake me up and linger for a couple days but itā€™s gone now.

Also had some sciatic pain during deadlifts, only noticed it when I would brace with a belt on. I think taking stones/dl easy is why circus dbell and farmers moved the best they ever have.

Still playing with stone technique, current cross grip for shouldering is putting a lot of stress on the wrists. I think starting with the standard 10 and 2 position then switching to shoulder near the top may be the way to go, will try that today.

Got my ass kicked this week. Saturday might have effected Tuesdayā€™s workout and I played with bodyweight BFR stuff at school today. Also weighed in at 172lbs. A little concerned but I donā€™t think I need to be, may start eating cereal again next week to regain some weight

Cut things short, 90 and humid with no AC due to power outage. Weights moved well for what I did get in though, nothing crazy.

Tried different chalk on farmers, literally didnā€™t even start to slip, just felt the weight jostle me as I walked.
