my unofficial strongman training plan

[b fold the truth]

Endurance events mean pain...lots of pain. It also means that if you have a stronger mind and will...you can beat other people on guts alone. How bad to you want it...

i have over 3 months to physically and mentally prepare.

Endurance events mean pain...lots of pain. It also means that if you have a stronger mind and will...you can beat other people on guts alone. How bad to you want it...

all i've been thinking about is events and training. ALL day EVERY day. every waking moment. i keep imagining how much fun that pain will be! i really can't wait.

i now know i'm going to have to want it much more than this though

during my hour-long study hall, i used the whole time thinking of a split i could do once everything's set, while trying to use some of all the advice i was given.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
friday - reverse hyper, abs, log press (3x3? 4x4?)(1 light set of burnout, add 5 lbs every week when i get to 20 reps), events

saturday - AR

sunday - DE bench, 2/3 board presses, lockout, rotator cuff work

monday - ME lower, glute/ham, reverse hyper, abs, grip, sled

tuesday- AR

wednesday - DE lower, glute/ham, reverse hyper, abs, sled

thursday - AR

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b fold, why do you do reverse hyper and abs BEFORE events?

how's the split look? i'm sure it could use some work, as i keep changing my mind every time i look at the damn thing. i came up with about 10 different ways to do this, and none of them look right, lol

Step into my world...a fine line between wanting it and being obsessive about it.

I actually usually do reverse hypers before events...heavy. Then I do events and finish with abs. I also did a set of rev hypers with no weight for recovery only after EVERYTHING and my back felt much better this week.

Play with your ideas...change as YOU see fit.

i understand why you do them after, but why before? is there a specific reason?

thanks

To build strength...

Find what is right for you... Before is for building strength so I go heavy and intense...after is for recovery.

there's at least 7 commitments for the teen division! will be very competitive!

i really can't wait. i couldn't sleep last night until 3 and it's a couple months away

cheap weider squat rack came in today. i'll put it together tomorrow.

what do i use for reverse hypers, a 2x10 layed across the pins? i was thinking on heavy reverse hyper days i could hook a dumbell up to my feet somehow, then on recovery days jsut use a mini band or soemthign

i saw some tires in town today at a tire store. i dont know how much they'd cost. i have to hunt around for some toys

 

[b fold the truth]

I love your positive mental attitude!!!!

I used a 2x12 for my reverse hypers...a 2x14 or 2x16 might work even better. You will need strong abs or it will hurt...lol.

Find a tire as well as anything else that you can think of. Look at my site at all that I have and that I have made. EVERYTHING will help you at this point.

i got my squat rack all up and assembled. did some reverse hypers on a 2x8 or 2x10. it's way too hard to breath so i can only crank out about 6 reps at a time.

also, since i can't breath, whenever i can't breathe, i get a real sharp pain in my neck. i think i blew a blood vessel or something there, lol
