Thanks Rimma, Harry. I had in my head before going in that I wanted to Clean & Press 40kg, but after those coupla sets at 30kg I chickened out and thought I wouldn't be able to lift it :roll:

Ha Ha :wink:

So Nate, if i'm gonna have a go at these Highland Games do ya reckon I should be doing any kind of specific training atm or just wing it?

So Nate, if i'm gonna have a go at these Highland Games do ya reckon I should be doing any kind of specific training atm or just wing it?

* Practice Farmers Walks with DB's in the gym & do some grip work (fat bar grips for back work is good).

* WFH - probably just do some explosive stuff like powercleans, snatches (bar, DB, KB). Most people try & do the WFH like a KB Swing but its more like a snatch movement.

* Shot put - if you can find one or do some rock puts! Just do your pressing work explosively (may need to back weights off a little - dynamic effort may help).

* Caber toss maybe find a fence post and practice! LOL

Hope that helps?!

With Shot Put it might pay to PM someone like Wookie or Tonka that has a throwing background? I don't really have a lot of technical knowledge in this area.
