I could totally do that.






In my mind.

 

Guess I gotta start rearranging the garage! I imagine the rest of the equipment will arrive soon. I was planning on building a lifting platform this weekend but my wife and I got covid. Going to have to wait two weeks before I can get to the lumber store. We are recovering well and will hopefully be in good enough health to workout when the rest gets here.

 

Rest up, I hope you guys recover quickly.

 

That taco

 

Thank you! Luckily it only knocked us down for about a day and a half. It’s been a slow but steady recovery from there.

Still got it! Doubt I’ll ever get rid of it haha.

 

270lbs per hand. Check mate.

Fuck me.. I had 705 but bailed cause I was afraid to grind through it this close to comp time. Ripped it off the floor real quick though.

 

Those are some flashy ass plates.

 

That’s all I could look at.

...ain't nothin' escaping from that butt-cheek clunch!

 

I keep watching that 705 pull and going back in my head thinking about it. Fuck me I had that. Should have kept pulling. It flew off the floor and as soon as it slowed down I thought "is it worth hitting this and risking injury 2 weeks out?" So I dropped it.


No excuses though, I missed it. I'll hit it on the 23rd.

 

What is the deadlift event in strongman? Is it who can pull the most weight or who can do most reps of x weight? Or does it depend on the comp?

 

It's always different. Sometimes it's a max deadlift event to see who can pull most weight. Sometimes it's a given weight for max reps. This competition is the oddest as it's a deadlift medley. First is 700lb from standard height, then run to the next platform which is 800lb from 18in, then run to the last which is a truck/car deadlift for max reps.

 

Just gives you more time to get stronger. You got it man and you know it so don’t stress it.

 

Same for my next comp.

Truck tire axle deadlift, axle deadlift,farmers, then frame.

 

Your comp this weekend?

 

Nah in a few weeks. Signed up for a fun one on Valentine’s Day.

 

Oh. Thought you had one in January?

 

I do. This coming weekend. And one in a month too
