Me.
Log was shite as usual but got a few tips from TT & Dale so hopefully
my log should go up soon.
Yolk was a beast swaying everywhere,very unstable.
Managed a PB so you`ve got to mark it down as ok i
suppose.
Farmers was something i wanted to get sorted.I had a number in my head
that i wanted .Came off the floor very,very slowly but once going it started
to tear my arms from my shoulders & the skin off my hands.VERY HARD.
Stones were nothing to write home about,same as last week really
could lap the 170 but just couldn`t get that extra bit to pop it onto the platform.

What another great day in `THE WHEY WAREHOUSE` all the welsh boys put
in a sterling effort.
Martin `Gayboy` is going to be real force to reckon with at the UK`s.
Simon Jones on only his second events sess managed to mash his knee &
was left to hobble around ,but was mad enough to try & strap it up &
gave the yolk a go
Mike B mashed a real good log.
Mobster was in R/T mode & pulling some good numbers.
Beef was amazed at the talent on display,but put in a massive effort to smash
all his PB`s .Gave it a good go at high diving over the farmers as well
Simon Jones gave 110% & wrestled with everything until he was totally spent.
TT was just spectating as he`s competing in Ireland on sun.
GOOD LUCK TT !

Gave the flat bench a miss as my shoulder started to play up.
Will add a few more sets to my seated press & skulls.
Well i finally took the plunge & did a few extra reps on the log.
Nearly killed me & working it out it wasn`t that many sets.
Hopefully this should help my tech & get my log up.
Quite pleased with this sess,for once
I think my shoulders will know i trained tomorrow

STONES
100,110,120 & 130K ONTO 55" PLAT PB
140K - 55"
150K - 48" PB(Highest platform with this weight)

My lower back is fubared (bloody front squats ).
Wrist hurting .
I think this is is a result of training at PB level for the
last 3-4 wks ,so i thought i`d go easier today as i was training alone .
I think my lack of bodyweight is affecting things like my sled drag.
When doing the 250 sled i kept slipping on my arse due to dust on the driveway.
I think next time i`ll sweep up first.
My lats were feeling real bashed when i kept trying to pull the sled from a dead
stop.
Chuffed with stones.The 150 nearly killed me ,but i was determined to get it up .
Just about 3" from loading the 150 & my left hamstring popped
Next week try 110,120,130,140 & 150 or maybe try repping the 140/150

Had to do log press in the pouring rain as i haven`t got clearance in
the garage.
Had to strap up my left hamstring as it`s still nowhere near healed,ended
up using an old knee support .
Took log from a bench height as well so as not agrivate my leg.
The log was sliding everywhere on my coat
Massive strict press
My shoulder is still playing up so i didn`t want to push it too hard,
but it`s feeling better than last week.
All in all i`m quite happy with my workout.Added another 2.5k to my log &
if i keep that up for a while i should be getting there.Cant wait for heavy log sat .

Very short sess today as i`m still nursing my hamstring &
Beef has a heavy cold & sore throat.
Log was done from a bench ,which through me right out
of sink.
Farmers done in rack .My rack is crap & so i had to stand on
plates to get the right height.Couldn`t get my feet right.
I can draw some positives from this sess though,my hamstring
held out & i`m quietly confident that my log press is getting better.
Onwards & upwards .

Took delivery today of my dual handled farmers/frame from Top Quality Tom

Sess took for ever tonight people up & down the driveway.
Only just made the 85 x 2 on the log.Just couldn`t get it settled
on my chest ?
Tried lifting my 120 stone tonight up onto the platform to get it out
the way,soon shelved that idea as bending down to get my hands
around the stone i could feel my ham pulling.Hopefully if i do 18"
deads & high squats again it shouldn`t affect my ham.
Weighed TC tonight & he weighs 180k

[shawn]

proud father of a 180 kg stone.

[tat70]

Just got to lift it now

[Steve Gardener]

180? Cool.
