Car Pullin' and other strongman/woman insanity...

[slinky]

All in all, yesterdays training was a success in terms of becoming familiar with the various car pulling techniques; especially the "hand over hand" that will be used Saturday.

I'll be ready for this Saturday in Boise.

I'll post just a couple of more pics and then I'm done. This past Friday was obviously the last real event training session til the contest. We performed clean/push presses, farmer walks, and due to my suggestion, tire flips. We ended the evening with sand bag relays. I did not need to train at 90%; the goal was to get a good idea of where I was at. But I did use contest weight in all the implements. (85lb Apollons Axle clean/push press, 100lb Farmers)

Here's a pic of the clean/push press.

And here's one of the Farmer Walk:

Can't wait to hear about your contest experience. Good luck and have lots of fun! I'll be thinking about you as I'm tossing back a pint post-comp in your honor.

B True: Ya need to also talk to Tod and Julie; this was their set up completely. But I do admit, that platform made things sooooooo easy.

JJ: And I in return will be having some beer this weekend in your name, too! Good luck at your contest this weekend! Much positive "First Place" karma to you!
