Member 2146, 6 posts SQ 140, BP 110, DL 160410.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Decided to get back into training properly after a fair while just treading water & gonna log progress (or lack of) to aid the old motivation. Found a decent gym where I can dabble in Strongman stuff as I get bored just doing weights. 1st session there today just concentrating on technique to start off. Messed about with log, car deadlift , bit of tyre flipping and some farmers today. Next week's technique session is gonna be Viking Press, stones (will def struggle with these being somewhat vertically challenged)and Hussefeld stone. My regular gym has been shut for a month while they moved premises, popping down tomorrow for a quick look round and then get back into some regular training from Monday. Initial plan is Monday - Squats / Overhead Press / Weighted Dips Wednesday - Deadlift / Rows / Chins Sat - Event training May throw in some cardio sessions on Tues & Thurs - based around BB complexes & Intervals depending how the recovery goes  | ||

I've always just used my hands without chalk. The static holds are brilliant. I'm using them with the dumbells from time to time. | ||
