Do I even Strong Brah

[nate225]

Best comp total was 700 @ 100, best comp lifts 282.5, 185, 270.

Nothing spectacular in PL but I was pretty happy being at that level as a natty

Be interesting to compete now in similar 1-ply gear, barring injury Id conservatively say 780-820? @ 105

[Leeroid]

Are those numbers equipped? How long ago was that?

Also what do u reckon ur maxes are now raw?

Sorry for so many questions just curious

[nate225]

Yeah NZPF equipped but back pre 07 so not as advanced.

Not sure raw now cos I dont train for it, but did 280 dead a few years back, guess I'll find out at expo! A few weeks ago I did 250x2 but haven't tried heavier lately.

Squat unsure about depth lol...but in wraps only I think 280-300? Rep triples up to 260 on things like box squats and smith squats.

Bench I never really train but on the odd ocassion ive done a couple on 160 (not paused or anything)? Incline i rep 3 plates comfortably so Im guessing but 4 plates at a push?

All kinda theoretical really so my current raw total is zero!

its good to see a strongman journal.

Im kicking myself for not getting into it back at eastside barbell.

I did do a little log press and farmers walks for lols.

Always wanted to do stones

The Arnold makes their partial a bit different as it's low enough that a shorter guy can't just stick their kneecaps under the bar. I like that set up. I find 18" a huge challenge as it's completely below my patella, so I have to move the bar about 3 inches to get it in position. Hence alot of my misses will simply be completely failing to break the bar off the boxes.

I think there has been a level of rationality applied to stone loading lately, the boxes definitely are not as high anymore.

That said, it's still a sport which suits the tall guy a bit better on the whole.

Did Smith Squats (feet out front) up to a double at 300 on Monday. #crippledtoday

Cutting volume back as body is getting dusted up trying to do Strongman with too many bodybuilding type movements. Just did Extns/Curls and 2 calf exercises after smith squats. 

[nate225]

Log press up to 110kg, some light Z-Press, and some rear delt work with bands. (Volume well cut!).

[Realtalk]

What is log press record for u105? And record for open?

[nate225]

130 I think? 163 for HW

Nothing I'll be threatening to break anyway! 

[nate225]

Some inch dumbell and stones.

[nate225]

[Realtalk]

Btw I think LW Log rec is 137.5.

Nice work on the 375. I'm gonna get left behind on the partial at this rate.

Dale is apparently competing. I can't imagine anyone else doing 137. Who knows.

[nate225]

Yup.

Possibility of a lot of  the LW records being under threat - Conan's - Tod, Max Log - Dale, Inch DB - Alex/Nate/Dale, Herc Hold - Nate, Log for reps Nate/Dale, Stones maybe? Only real one thats safe is the partial DL! 470 been there since Dave Dunford in 2000 or 2001.

[Realtalk]

Is there gonna be a fight? Lol

[nate225]

Probably just lots of threats on the internet, smack talk in the gym to mates, and challenges of cage fights LOLOLOL
