Event Training

Well - I trained on some Strongwoman Events last night - let me tell you - I am wasted today !
I did not do as well as I thought on the Stones or Log Press :(
I could not even get teh 170# stone off the ground ! My forarms are bruised and raw - OUCH ! I need MORE forearm strength .

The Logpress was a disappointment - at 100#, I got it over my head once, but could not lock out my left arm - DAMN !

I was able to carry 90# fatmer's up and back ( only 1/2 way back though since the clips broke)\
I could have def made it.

Goin to train again on Sat - need to bring tacky for my arms on the stone, chalk for my hands on the farmers:) I hope it comes in today! I ordered it on line. I def need to tape my arms, though:)

This is really HARD !!!!!!!

Van Push

Well - I pushed my first van last night - OMG *** is all I can say - it was harder than I thought...I thought my chest was going to explode - It was like running a marathon !
here's the vid.

2 weeks out !

Well - the competition is coming up ! This is exciting. I have not been able to train on any events - which means I have to go into the competition raw - I'm starting to get scared !!!!!

I am getting the harness tonight so I will be able to do a van pull tomorrow.

Training is coming along...I hired a trainer last week - since Troy has not been available to me for a while. I am working on my shoulder strength with him. My bench press has gotten up to 135 ! In addition to a seated Military and an Incline Bench - so things are looking up there.

I have practiced the Farmers with 85# DB's - but need to get to 140 ! OMG - I'm scared !!!

Training has been going well - eating is OK - although there is definitely room for improvement - esp pre and post workout nutrition - although I am trying !!!

More later !
