7 weeks till the Fitness Expo Strongman Championship

[Daniel Lambert]

Hi Guys,

There is 7 weeks to go now till the Fitness Expo Strongman Championship and I got some work to do to get in shape.

Have dropped my training back a bit with some business ventures in the mix and after recently getting into some Boxing with the Mrses my strength on the big four has dropped back a bit.

Was an easy event last year with only 4 events over 1 day, this year the competition has stepped up a bit and is now 8 events over 2 days;

Day 1:

280kg Conans Wheel

Steel Log-Lift 1RM

Inch Dumbbell Lift 1RM

Partial Deadlift with straps 1RM

Day 2:

122kg Hercules Hold

Natural Stones - 101kg, 114kg, 126kg, 139kg, 155kg

95kg Wooden Log for reps

Deadlift 1RM

This is gonna be a tough event with 6 weeks of training to prepare, time to pull heavy!

[Daniel Lambert]

Third day training calves in a row, they feel swole

Clean Deadlift felt real tight and real strong, felt good for more but left it at 180kg as I wanted to keep my back arched and tight all the way through, def would've got my groove on with some back rounding and hip shaking if I went heavier.

Partials felt nice, unfortunately sumo is still stonger! Conventional feels and looks so much better though! Haha

Alternated sets between back and leg exercises and had a good pump on for my Lats and Hammys, felt like I was gonna Hulk out and rip out of my clothes! If only ....

Apollons Axle - 60kgx2, 80kgx2, 100kgx2, 80kgx2, 60kgx2

Atlas Stones - 3x3-100kg

[Daniel Lambert]

Calves were looking bigger today, hopefully more than 'plasma growth'.

Decided to wrap my elbows loose for bench and it helped heaps, took away the shoulder pain I get when I bench with a close grip and it wasn't so tight that the wraps acted like a spring in the bottom of the rep, so was still putting in all the work

Tuesday's Training, 4th June 2013

Another great session today, working towards that 140kg paused Bench Press, session by session.

Technique for Log-Lift was very clean today, no press out! Aiming for 115-125kg at the Fitness Expo.

Decline felt really good, though when I moved to Board Press I had trouble staying in the groove, looking at my training now I probably should've done some more warm-up sets for Board Press as the groove is a lot different to Decline.

Wanted to Press the 50s today, but was happy to take 2 easy sets of 4 with the 40s. Last week it was 2 HARD sets of 2-3 with the 40s, so progression was still ther today.

Wednesday's Training, 5th June 2013

Feeling good for the middle of the weak, no evil DOMS hindering me from getting into it hard and heavy.

Calves seem to be recovering fairly quick, so smashed them again today - of course still short of failure, think I'll measure them cold this weekend and see how much they've grown!

Deadlifts felt real nice, hook grip was easy too. If I hit 220kg at the Fitness Expo I will be over the moon! Being that it's a 8 event competition, deadlifts won't be easy, so I'll be happy to take 220kg

Back work was strong today, BTN LPDs on 42kg was way too easy haha I put the pin in the wrong plate (thought I put it in 66kg) so I just ripped it out anyways and had a mean pump! Felt like my traps were up to my ears!! Watch out Jonnie Jackson! :

Thursday's Training, 6th June 2013

Met up with a client in the morning, so figured I'd do a small session too - some Oly stuff, some Anaerobic stuff and some more calves

Have started dropping back on the Oly stuff at the moment as the next two events are Strongman and Powerlifting, so time to work on Squat and Deadlift strength.

Reverse-Grip Bench was ok, felt real good for 100kg although both attempts I lost wrist stability on the way up and dropped towards my upper pecs, so took the win with 90kg and moved on.

Arms training is going good, not to failure and more frequent at the moment. Since training arms directly I have noticed a positive effect, no more elbow pain during Stones, Axle and Tyre and more control and power during Pressing movements.

This evening I decided to train calves a bit differently and it worked well, trained them after every couple sets after other exercises. Pumped throughout the session and even an hour after training they are still quite full of blood - plasma growth is still growth

Session 1:

Power Snatch - 5x1-60kg

Reverse-Grip Bench Press - 20kgx20, 40kgx10, 60kgx5, 80kg, 90kg - pause, 100kg - miss, 80kgx5

Behind The Neck Snatch Press - 20kgx10, 40kgx5, 60kg, 70kg - miss, 60kgx2

Dumbbell Seated Press - 32kgx5, 34gx3, 22kgx15

Dumbbell Seated Laterals - 10kgx10, 12kgx8, 14kgx6, 16kgx4, 18kgx4, 20kgx4

Was really happy with how Squats went, none of the sets were  to failure! Yeah Buddy! Olympic Leg Press was a bit of fun, felt like my eyes were gonna pop out from the pressure haha so I just left it at 4 reps, no need to strain myself on that as its only assistance.

Squats were interesting, 200kg was easy! Then 1/4 ROM to go and I got stuck and fell forward a little bit, that's a new thing for me, me and Dan both agreed it was a technical issue, falling forward a little on the way up.

Session 2 was at Miada Gym Avondale Auckland with Amelia, good fast session, getting it done! Tried some new shoes on the Log and they felt amazing! Think i'll be using them from now on!

Squats were interesting, 200kg was easy! Then 1/4 ROM to go and I got stuck and fell forward a little bit, that's a new thing for me, me and Dan both agreed it was a technical issue, falling forward a little on the way up.

Session 2 was at Miada Gym Avondale Auckland with Amelia, good fast session, getting it done! Tried some new shoes on the Log and they felt amazing! Think i'll be using them from now on!

Walked Peaches for just over an hour, usually wouldn't think of it as a Training Session, though Peaches was coach today! Was some fartlek training, sprint, walk, jog, walk, sprint! She was full of energy and tired me out a bit haha
