thanks guys. im just feeling a little beat up right now. feel like im not training hard enough. this is the hardest training i have ever done. i have no one here to help me. i am kinda lost. with bodybuilding i had plenty of people to watch and learn from in the gym. with powerlifting, there are few and far between to learn from, and the ones that are there have never heard of wsb. then on top of that no, i mean no one that i have ever met, heard, read, seen or anything in alabama, trains strongman. so in essence...................................................
........................................i am alone.
so its kinda getting to me. i have my lovely wife Trinity 73 to train with me. but she is learning by what i teach her. so i have no mentor, B Fold is the closest thing i have to a mentor, but he's 6 hours away. im just a little low at the moment, thanks, for letting me have a pitty party.

hey, i've only had a few event days myself....but that's ok...you work at it hard enough you progress quickly especially after you start doin events.....sure has helped my recovery too.
yeah i know, i'm already feeling a little better. i just have a list next to me where i work of what i have to do for the contest. and sometimes it just overwhelms me. my grip is like something haunting me. it just intimidates me know what weights i'll have to hold

Strongman training = FUN!
I got the opportunity to train the events with Exodus and Trinity yesterday. Let me just say, that I had an absolute awesome time. Don't tell the wife, but I think I am hooked.
Don't let him fool you, Exodus tore it up out there yesterday. I was very impressed. He did all of those events with a very short rest between each. Like we tried to tell him, at a contest you have at least 30 minutes break between each event.
After one week of working out, here's what I was able to do:
I cleaned and pressed 149 on the log three times. Then I failed twice to clean and press 171.
On that 145 each hand farmer's hold that Exodus held for 40 and 45 seconds, I couldn't even pick it up. I did hold 122 each hand for 39 seconds. My grip is terrible.
Then, I flipped the 600 lb tire 5-6 times. That is the most exhausting thing I believe I have ever done. After you finish, you feel like your lungs are going to collapse. But, man it's a lot of fun.
After that, without eating anything (do'h), the wife and I went to church. I literally felt like I was going to pass out in the middle of the service. Thankfully, I made it through. Don't ask me what the message was about though. All I could think about was food.
