Per aspera ad astra (strongman Koestrizer)

Just keep doing what you are doing mate. Take it one day at a time. Keep lifting,
Keep having fun with your mates. Oh and next time you beat those rich kids, steal their watches. :joy::joy:

Having fun is a so-so. But I’ll probably keep lifting and drinking until I drop

29.06.

1 deadlift
4 x 6 @ 160 kg

2 box jumps
5 x 3

Pushed the height here a little because I had soft boxes.
Went for 3 higher ego jumps afterwards for fun.

3 incline bench press
1 x 8 @ 85 kg
1 x 7 @ 85 kg
1 x 6 @ 85

None to failure because no spotter.

4 leg curls
3 x 10

5 banded pull ups
3 x 5

6 incline db row
3 x 10 @ 30 kg

Notes:

  • piss poor performance on the incline. Not sure what happened but my chest felt like it’s going to explode. Benched on a HS incline bench with an eleiko weightlifting bar. Was a shit setup. Bar had way too much spin fpr benching.
  • hip/ SI area didn’t feel to good over the weekend. Didn’t hinder my performance today but I need to focus on nailing those zerchers correctly
  • that squishy wl platform was weird for deadlifts

Fancy. Any power bars around there? I used a squat bar today was nice. Nothing amazingly different but then again I probably don’t squat enough to use it to the full

piggy getting jealous? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Dafuq I’m jealous of nobody. I be rolling up to the gym 10mins away from my home, because I’m too good for my home gym now, decked out in fresh designer gym gear. I use one of the comp bench set ups as a seat, gym bag resting place and hang my belt on the Eleiko power bar in the rack while I go select from every kind of bar I could ever want and load some Eleiko plates on em.

I can’t tell if Hamster is like a trillionaire or just dirt poor. On the one hand, he appears to live on a sidewalk. On the other, he is always talking about expensive calibrated plates. I have literally never seen a calibrated plate.

Nah unfortunately only weightlifting training bars. They suck dor squats and bench press but are good for deads (with those bumpers I had easily the same whip that I would have had with my deadlift bar + metals. If not more). Plus I like them for pish jerks!

Is that one Eleiko platform?

Deads looking good. Solid overall. Maybe ur shoes but i think ur toes are coming up a bit at times. Maybe weight is mostly on heels

Fake it till u make it

Yep it’s one of those new eleiko platforms. The gym has two of them.

Good catch with the feet. I can’t tell if it’s the shoes or if I actually move the toes but I’ll pay attention to it next time.

Fancy. Can u pull sumo in it though?

For ur toes they shouldn’t come up if ur weight/balance is evenly distributed.

My young powerlifting apprentice does. But she is tinier than a guineapig. She said it sucks to do it in socks though because it’s slippery.
The platform is weird. If you drop a clean it will literally bounce back to hip height.

True. Might try a set barefoot to see.
