Training Help... Hannibal, Spatts, Project, Nate, CCJ, etc...

You might want to start on your clean and jerks to stimulate explosve power and to work on overall body conditioning at higher reps. I know you do a lot of pressing movements and this will help utilize leg drive and cut down the fatigue people feel using there whole back and arms versus their legs...

The lunge idea as well as the wheelbarrow idea...are BOTH good ones...

Can you explain more on the lunges though? Depth? Weight? Reps, sets, distance...etc...

I am thinking about doing ONLY 2 events on Sundays after my lifting for the next 8 weeks. One will be a LONGGGGG medley and the other will probably be the stones or another STRENGTH event. I'll definately add the wheelbarrow into the medley

It is the 8 weeks that started THIS week and will help to build more base strength before serious contest PREP begins for Boston.

depth would probably be a half lunge, dont want to go further than that really. not with tons of weight at least.

weight is determined by you and the distance traveled same. maybe do them for a set distance and increase weight or vice versa. probably something to mimic the farmer walks but with less weight initially. heheheh. basically to help your trunk and leg stability on the walking events.

hey clint,

i may be just dumb...but why not keep training the way you have been training? Look how far it got you...

the only reason why you didn't do as well is because you PASSED OUT for gods sake...and you STILL placed 4th in your most recent competition.

"do what works for you"

We get better by changing, adapting, and progressively getting better. The WSB principles are based on these standards...

I must constantly change, get better, adapt, and most of all...LEARN.
