Well...I plan to take some time off to heal and get all of this figured out...then get back to the grindstone of competing and on my way to earning my Pro Card.

Boston, Feb 8, 2003. Last year I placed 5th out of 27. This year they are only allowing 10 competitors in the heavyweight class and the promoter assured me a spot for his contest. He wants me there...

Boston is noted for VERY heavy events...VERY VERY heavy events...which I like a lot. Most of the smaller guys who do well in the amateur contests can't even do much of anything when they put some serious weight on the bar...and...the Pro's go heavy!!!!!

I plan to just play around in the gym for the next 2 weeks then slowly start back with some moderate/hard training. I currently have about 17 weeks before the contest. That should be just enough time to relax, heal, and get back hard at it again. Most of my workout program is based on WSB principles and a lot of my extras and my events are made to suit the contest events.

Here are the events for Boston...basically...

Amateurs:
• Viking Press
• Farmer's Walk
• Tire Flip/Wheelbarrow Medley
• Hercules Hold
• Power Stairs

I know that they are looking to maybe change the Tire Flip/Wheelbarrow medley to maybe a tire flip, super yoke, sled or wheelbarrow medley all in one :yuck:

I know that I am going to start doing more sprints and continue to imcrease my base strength and technique...but was wondering what other ideas everyone else had.

Thanks...

whats a viking press?

I know that they are talking about running that contest pretty fast like they did the nationals (obviously they are going to because it is only a one day contest instead of two like this past one). You could cut down on the resting time in between your sets...and work on increasing the weight each week. Of course...you increase the weight anyway...but still.

Working on the sprinting will be good...but you need to find a way to increase your recovery rate between the events. That should come into play with cardio. I'm sure that bignate could help you with that one. Who knows...I'm just talking...you know I can't help you with this or else you would have asked for my advice, too! lol...

you are gonna need to do interval training. Basically you do your sets with a set amount of time in between to rest and then you start cutting down the time by 10 seconds here and ten seconds there so after a few weeks of gradual acceleration you can do intense sets with only about 30 sec of rest time. sprinting is a great form of this and so are singles and triple sets where you focus on about 8 sets and work on explosive power base and recovery.... Had to do this for baseball and football and it sucked

Lord S sounds like he has some good ideas...

Will you be requiring any sort of sponsorship or?

(No B Fold... not to help your food bill )

I am now trying to set up some sponsors. I need some that will consistantly support me in a large way. With my 5th place placing at my last contest I may have screwed myself getting one or two though...I dunno...

For anyone who was wondering...I saved the money that was given to me and kept it in my paypal account and ONLY used it for equipment, motel, etc...NOT food or paying ANY other personal bills...

IMO feeding you would be considered part of sponsoring you and somehow I think you can eat ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[StRoNg_WoN]

Cool... well if you need any help with organizing, whatever, lemme know... I'd love to help out...

And sponsor of course...
