12/22/12 Events!
Circus DB-empty @ 115lbs. Max reps in 60 seconds. Clean and press each rep.
ended up getting 9.
Stones over 51" bar. Max reps w/ the 240 in 60 seconds.
I think I got 4. May be able to get another one if the tape on my arm didn’t come loose 
Farmers walk @ 200/hand. 80’ no turns or drops.
Did two trips but, I think my average time was around 13 seconds
Fairly happy with today. Nothing amazing but, feeling a little better about the events and stuff. They added a 4th event to the contest on day 1 though so, I’m a little nervous about that! CAR SQUAT! Jesus, that’s intimidating. It was just Sokey, PC, and I today. We all had a good day, in my eyes. I think it’s only 8-9 weeks until the contest so, I’m getting excited! lol Hope all stays well with my family so I can still go. My great grandpa is a short timer so, hopefully everything works out that he feels better by then.

I had to train a day after the other guys. My family has been going through a very hard time and this was the only day I trained last week. We lost my great grandfather exactly 17 weeks after losing my great grandmother. He is honestly the best man I have ever met. He will be greatly missed by everyone he’s made contact with. Anyhow, hope everyone else is well. RIP Pap 1/3/13

purple band, leg curls. 2 sets of 50 (both feet in band) this was harder than it sounds lol.
Pretty happy with today. I feel that on a good day w/ wraps I could MAYBE squat 600 for one w/o a reverse band but, idk. we shall see in the future. Getting nervous about the competition but, I’m sure it will be fine. We are only a little over 5 weeks out! Hope everyone is doing well and have a great day!

I believe this was all that we did. Great day. We were all pretty tired and beat up. PC and I had been on the road since 8AM to go to get a lat pull down. We didnt get back until nearly 3PM so, it was a long day of driving. Gotta thank Adam Hires for giving us a great price on the lat pull down and a couple of his Hulk Training Systems shirts! Everyone did well and we are getting very close to the strongman competition. Anyhow, back to work I go. You all have a great day.

I cannot express how happy I am because I finally pulled 600. It’s been a dream for so long. Very proud of my gymmates as well! Everyone did really well today haha. I regret not doing more accessories but, my back was toast. It’s very tight right now but, it did what I needed it to do lol. I really think my life is starting to pick up and go in a better direction. It has been a hard year to say the least but, I have the best friends anyone could ask for, a loving family, enough money to pay my bills and buy a few things, and a potential girl that’s been fantastic so far. Maybe my luck is starting to change a bit!
I hope all is well for everyone else!
Awesome job on pulling 600! Glad all is going well with your (collective) training.
