It is hard for me to stay at 285-290 for more than a couple of days. For some reason my body just does not like it there...I dunno. I guess I weighed 280 on Willie's scales last weekend...but was getting close to 290 a couple days before I left...

Any more thoughts...

Few of the people that this post was immediately directed to didn't even reply...

I wish I could help you out man, but I'm nowhere near an expert for your type of training. But it does seem to me that you should work on your endurance and stamina, with those shortened rest periods. Perhaps try that when you lift. Shorten your rest periods. Maybe do some sprinting, with short rests in between.

I'm really looking for thoughts on how I can simulate the events, what types of gym lifting may help to strengthen the contest events, and where I need to focus my training more...

i know this will sound gay or intricate but whatever.

1/2 to 3/4 (weighted) walking lunges to help you on the events that require single leg drive. ie farmer walks, power stairs?, yoke walk etc. to really bring in your glute/ham into your gait. obviously calf work will help with your push off. if you have a rev hyper setup, try one leg at a time, but when you do so, do some sort of lat contraction (1 arm row or something) on the opposite arm. the opposite lat (left for example) and the right lower posterior chain work in unison for stabilization of the spine.

Along those lines..really heavy wheelbarrow work will help with overall conditioning.

B, you know I haven't forgotten you. I know you are taking it easy in the gym. I am going to sit down and look at all your events and talk with you about my ideas.

B fold... Somewhere a few months back I read a post on some board about a guy who whold load a barbell with 135 or 225 and go walking around his neighborhood for building strengh endurance.... Basically adding weight or distance each time he did these.... Possibly something that could be of use to you.....
