Using the giant leg press machine in the gym tonight. This is a great bit of kit. The plate can be used as two seperate plates or joined together. Biggest leg press I have ever seen
Also used the Kabuki Swiss bar today which felt really good.
A couple of you asked what was next for me following on from my recent strongman comp. Seems like you all know me pretty well by now and knowing I need some sort of goal to train for, were waiting to hear what my next challenge was.
I have signed up for a power lifting meet on the 10th December. It is with the APL (Australian Powerlifting League). I will be competing in the 90kg class which means I need to lose a couple of kilo’s. I will be competing as a master in M2 (45-49) and in the Raw division. So knee sleeves only, squats walked out.
Been working with @wiseman83 on what the training plan looks like for the next 13 weeks and getting the first block laid out. There will be 3 blocks, starting with volume, then into a strength block and finally a peak block into the comp. Pretty excited to be focusing back on the big three and to finally get back on the platform after a long time between drinks. (last comp was pre covid lockdowns)
Sled walks, flat bottom slead with a towing sling attached. Sling across the body over one shoulder and walk.
60kg added to the sled for a whole bunch and laps abs then down to 40 for a few more
Reverse hyper
No weight on these just the weight of the Westside machine arm

Concept 2 rower
5 mins - 1100m
Echo bike

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate this machine. I get off this after the intervals and I just struggle to breath. My whole body shakes for a minute as I try to breath in.
