10/2/2011 Water Park

Took my son to an indoor water park for his 9th birthday this weekend. Didn't do any official training, but probably climbed 70 flights of stairs going up the water slides. Legs will probably be a little sore tomorrow and as my training mentor "The Bowmanowski" would say...That has to count for something.

Products I Recommend

Check back...I'll be adding new products as I try them

Switched over to this tack a few months ago and really like it. It goes on easy, holds well and is super easy to clean up.



I've used these straps for a couple of years now and they are real durable. Mine are going on 6 years old now and show some signs of wear, but they have a lot of life left in them.


This is a great book especially for the beginner. It teaches the basic lifts and keeps everything real simple.



This book has really good illustrations of a lot of lifts and shows how slight variations in body position or bar position can change which muscles are worked or how the muscles are worked.



This is a great chalk. Does its job at keeps the hands dry and at a good price.




I've used ON products for a few years now. I have tried others, but always seem to come back to this stuff.


This is a unique product. Most protein powder is made from milk bi-products (whey). They are fast digesting and good for an after workout shake, but not for normal meal replacement. This one is made from meat. It is slower to digest and really good for times when you need protein and calories and can't eat.



Fenugreek is an herbal supplement that most people associate with breast feeding mothers, and it good for that, but it is also been shown to be a natural testosterone booster. It smells like maple syrup and will make your armpits smell that way as well, but it seems to help with added strength and recovery.


We just put these in our new athletic weight room. They are great weights and seem very durable. I'm looking forward to many years on these.

 

I don't have one of these bars...yet. I have used them many times in competition and love them. They are great bars and whenever my bar at home needs replaceing it will be one of these.



I have been using these Olympic Shoes for a long time and they have held up very well. They give great support and really helped with my lifting,



These are a solid set of Farmer Walk handles. The Farmer's Walk is a great exercise for training the grip. They can also double as a side handle deadlift, training for frame carry or car deadlift.


These are the original thick Rehbands. Rehband makes the best knee sleeves and these are legal in most if not all powerlifting federations.

My training partner, Brad, has been trying to get me to do a power lifting meet in December with him. I'm not totally convinced on doing it yet, but if I decide to I need to find the groove on regular grip bench, so we are going to add these in on Thursdays.

Decreasing the frequency while maintaining the volume is really making for some long training secessions. I feel real good with the extra rest though. Sticking with the 3x a week will really depend on if I have time for 2+ hour training.

I am going to reduce my frequency to 3x a week for a few weeks and see how it goes. Tuesday, Thursday Sunday will be the lifting day. So far I'm liking it. Sunday felt real good and today went great.  The problem will be keeping the volume the same while cutting frequency.

Central Georgia's Strongest Man score sheet posted

http://nastrongman.com/2011macon.pdf

No real surprises for me. Some of the events were a lot closer then I realised. I won the tire flip by one tenth of a second...too close. If I had pulled the bus 6 inches more I would have placed one place higher in that event. Its all water under the bridge now.

2011 Cenral's Georgia's Strongest Man

Greg fields put on another great contest. This year it was part of the cherry blossom festival in Macon, Ga. The contest was held in a large field in the middle of Macon's Central City Park. The location couldn't have been better. It did get a little warm in the afternoon, but not too bad. Just wish I had used some sun screen.

A Rating System for Missed Lifts

A friend and fellow strongman in Alabama, Zac Bowman, uses descriptive words in his training journal to describe his missed lifts. I and my training partner Brad Stanford have taken this up also. This morning while training we decided there should be a formal rating system so everyone is on the same page when reading training journals. Here is what we came up:

Not Even Close- A lift where the bar doesn't more at all
         Ex 1- A DeadLift pinned to the floor
         Ex 2- Bench press that hits the chest, and stops,
                  a sternum crusher

Close- A lift where bar movement is achieved but stops at or below sticking point

Not Quite- A lift that passes the sticking point, but is not locked out

Almost- A lift where one arm/leg lock-out but not both OR lock-out is achieved but not long enough to receive a down from the judge

SPIDER TACK

I ran out of my normal tacky at the last show I did last summer so I needed some for the March contest. I decided to try a new kind called SPIDER TACK and I am glad I did. This stuff is crazy sticky. It is a lot thicker then what I am use to, but after playing with it for a while I got a good layer on. I grabbed my stone and it came right off the ground. The SPIDER TACK stuck and didn't slip at all. It was even a little cool in the garage that morning and no problem. Besides being the stickiest tacky I've ever used it was the easiest to clean up I've ever used. This was probably my favorite part. A little baby oil and it was off. No harsh chemical, no paint thinners, no WD40, no mineral spirits...just baby oil.

I am going to begin reducing the extra work I'm doing until after the Central GA Strongest Man in mid-March. I skipped jerk today and will probably cut out the Monday workout entirely next week. After this week I'll probably only lift on Tuesday (press medley and DeadLift...contest events), Thursday (pressing...just cause I need the work) and Sunday ( tire and atlas stones...contest events.
