Training for 175lb Arnold Strongman World Championship (2013)

finally got damn video uploaded. in related videos I saw the last time I did the routine almost exactly two years ago. strange

old video of week 2

Coan/Phillipi DL Routine week 2 - YouTube

yesterday

Haha another PL comp? That’s awesome, I wish I lived somewhere where there’s always something happening. Well, I kinda do. But you take the cake!
Good luck.

Look how far you came with the DLs!


Scratch this

Yeah why not? Only downside is I am going to rest the rest of the week. Which I really don’t feel like doing. I was overcoming a back injury in 09. Hope to look back at these videos the same way come next year.

Scratch what? Sure.

Scratch the double post.

No ‘why not’, it’s awesome that you’re doing a comp.
Like I said, I wish Orlando had a lot of events.

That’s some great pulling man. Good luck at the meet this weekend

Got some friends to do the 4 man tire flip relay with me, they said I couldn’t do the whole thing by myself. Hope it isn’t silly small. Should be a fun day

@Nikki i’m sure there is stuff going on Orlando is a lot bigger area then I live in. Most of the strongman comps I see are in clearwater though.

@ink thanks man

Want to come find out how much there’s to do in Orlando? I’ll pull out a cot for you :slight_smile:

What are you doing in your avvie? I like it, but are you walking with a kettlebell?
You have massive quads, I never noticed for some reason.

I just might, been wanting to do a strongman comp in Florida for along time. Met some cool guys from out there at Nationals. I want to go to Disney world too haha

I am at a Highland games. That event is Weight For Height, basically a 56lb ball with a ring you throw over a bar for max height.

Video of me training it from about a year ago.

Disregard my legs blinding you (might want to turn the brightness down before watching) and my brother doing whatever the hell he was doing at the end of the video. Oh and my mini tantrums

Its my favorite event but being short doesn’t help in it.

Well interesting day. Commercial gyms are so weird. The tires they were going to use for the tire flip relay, well the biggest one I pressed above my head haha so i stuck to the “powerlifting” meet

well the rules were start with unloaded bar. loading your own plates work up to a 1rm in 5 minutes. Kind of dumb… Little to crossfit for me but oh well still got to lift.

Started with bench… this sucked the most as I take awhile to get setup and warmed up on the bench. started with 225 easy. went straight to 275 for a pr which was a mistake. Oh well hit 245. Need to work on my bench…

Next was squat

my groin is all fucked up still, I was about to olympic squat with not to much pain but I had to squat with really dumb form for it not to hurt. hit 225 easy, 275 easy, 325 for 2 cause some guy was being a jackass saying it wasn’t depth. then got competitive and went 375, it felt light like it should but trying to go a little deeper with the dumb form I had to use i had but all of a sudden pitched forward and the spotters where horrible. and thankfully I am flexible and good at bailing cause the weights crashed to the floor. I really shouldn’t have been squatting. Or at least should have just made a smaller jump… Stupid time limits

Deadlift!

started at 405, then 455, then an easy 505 which is a 4lb sans strap pr put 525 on but had almost no time lift. Little rest so it was a no go. Happy with that though for only having 5 minutes and using a shitty smooth gym bar.

All in all it was a fun time. met some cool people lifted some weights bla bla bla. Then I set my flip cam down on a bench on the other side of the gym (away from the competition) and within about 3 minutes it was gone… So kind of put a sour note on the whole day.

You haven’t been to Disney in Cali?

That sucks about the 5 minutes thing, that’s terrible!
Awesome work regardless, especially with those time restraints.

Sowwy about the camera ;(

haha so did this really gay guy at the meet. It was odd. I was talking to my friends and I hear in a very lispy voice right behind me. They don’t got none of those round here. Maybe in Atlanta. You from Atlanta? haha guy was crazy

Atlas stones no tacky to 50"

probably a no tacky pr as I never train without tacky I would have done more but the stone got wet as the tires I was unloading the stone onto were full of water

Going to demolish a hill side with a pick, shovel and wheel barrow for deadlift assistance
