Saturday – Strongman Events
Well, I have decided to compete in South Dakota’s Strongest Man this March. I haven’t done some of the events before. My friends Jacob Dagel and Tim Feathers invited me to train with them and to test out the different implements. Here is what I did:
(Some of the weights, distances, and heights may be off a bit)
Yoke – 505 lbs for 100 ft, 575 lbs for 30 ft.
Sandbag – 180 lbs for 100 ft (pretty quickly, too)
Log – 180 lbs for 3 singles
Giant Dumbbell – 70 lbs for 3 sets of 1 per arm
Atlas Stones – 170 lbs to 54″ platform 2 times, 215 lbs to 54″ platform 2 times.
After this event day, my general thoughts are that my strength is there to handle the weights in the novice class, but I need to work on my conditioning more.
Friday – Chest / Arms
AM Cardio – 15 min / 6.1 mi – @H.H.G.
PM Hypertrophy – @B.I.G.
Dumbbell Bench Press – 70x4x8
Floor Bench Press – 205x4x8
Preacher Curls – 80×8, 80×8, 40×8, 40×8 (they were not feeling good so I dropped the weight to make sure I could get all the reps)
French Press – 100x4x8 (I need to work on my form)
