 Why get fat to look big? Member 1330, 4797 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 305805.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | After a 2 year stint bodybuilding I've come back to strongman, may as well log it somewhere.... Currently sitting around 101kg, fairly lean. Plan to compete in the 105's until i'm too big. If I can get to 106/7kg and be this lean, i'll be a happy man. 0500 this morning> Axle jerk/press: 100kg,100,110,120,2x120,3x120kg Dips: 3x +20,40,60kg, 6x +80kg BWx20 First overhead PB in a long time! Dips were decent too, decent overall. www.instagram.com/p/BPwmAq-hujG | ||

Why get fat to look big? Member 1330, 4797 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 305805.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | For me today> Deadlift: 220x1,2 230x1 140x2 x8 High pulls: 100x2 x5 Chins: BWx10 +20kg x8 ( www.instagram.com/p/BQKWQl4BNjs ) Start of a new plan, not pulled off the floor for ages as it tends to hurt, so a bit wary. The standing ab roll outs I did on Saturday have destroyed my midsection- wincing all the way through todays session! Never noticed using my abs on chins before, but f**k me it was sore! Should have probably eased back in to them...... | ||

Why get fat to look big? Member 1330, 4797 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 305805.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | Over the weekend> Bench: up to 160kg paused Dips: 22x +40kg Quick session to gauge where I'm at as I've not benched for months. Pleasantly surprised, easy and felt really good! Did some sprints later in the day. This morning> Deadlift: 200kg x 10 Chins: 7x +30kg Inverted rows: BW reps Hammer curls: 20's Good session. Deads felt great, and that never happens. Will add 5kg a week and aim for 10, like wise for squats, and see where that takes me. (vids here: www.instagram.com/suprbot ) | ||

A wee strip of leather- it's about the only thing that'll not puncture- I cut it off an old jacket. You can use other material, but it's not as good. | ||

So I only do things I thing have most bang for buck now, and only 3 or 4 working sets (total) per session (3 sessions a week) | ||
