whatever you do, don't give up. if you feel like eating some crap give yourself a cheat meal on saturday...i've been doing that on fri and sat nights, it helps tons (both as a break from strict diet, and something to look forward during the week). just hang in there, dieting is a slow process and it takes lot of will power because you can't see the changes in yourself that much..are you taking progress pics?

PreMier · 04-01-2005, 06:31 PM

No, havent taken pics. Its been way too cold outside lately. I could take them inside, but my house is old, and all of our lighting is lamps(there are no ceiling lights) so the lighting sucks.

Im not giving up(I kinda want to) but I feel like there is no progress. My kcals are at 3k which may seem like a lot, but not too long ago I was at 5k. I guess I can only cheat part of the day saturday instead of the whole day. Next week red meats will be put back into my diet also, my moms boyfriend brought a bunch of elk down when he came to visit.

Archangel · 04-01-2005, 07:45 PM

Strongman huh? Thats cool, thats some serious dedication

last week you said your waist dropped like 3". If that isn't progress I don't know what is. It takes time. You have only been back BACK in action like 3 weeks. patience my fine feathered friend.

PreMier · 04-01-2005, 08:09 PM

Gut dropped near 2". But that could be due to eating a lower volume of food than I was before, and having less bloat. Or maybe I didnt measure right?

doing any cardio?

PreMier · 04-01-2005, 08:25 PM

**P-funk** · 04-01-2005, 08:27 PM

maybe you should think about getting some cardio going.

PreMier · 04-01-2005, 08:33 PM

Next week when its a bit warmer(melted snow) and I can do it outside. I refuse to do it in the gym.

good idea. get your sled and throw some weight on it. Louie Simmons does 20yrd sled sprints too.

If you really want to do cardio do it in the snow. Just warm up first. My friend george will do cardio in the snow. he does 30yrd sprints dragging a 500lb chain....lol. I wonder if Leon can hang with that?

PreMier · 04-01-2005, 08:42 PM

Well, there isnt much snow left.. maybe an inch or so. I didnt order that army harness yet because I was going to look at the surplus store near my house.. but it closed

So I will order it tonight. I need to go buy some plates too.

Leons a bitch, he would die.

well, if you choose to do it in doors. Rowing sprints are my favorite. Plus they pump my back up like crazy!

PreMier · 04-01-2005, 08:46 PM

How do I do those?

**P-funk** · 04-01-2005, 08:48 PM

I gave some ideas here:

rowing sprints

if your gym has a versa climber those are fun too.

Cold Iron · 04-01-2005, 08:52 PM

Leon ownz all, bitches

PreMier · 04-01-2005, 08:54 PM

Yea, the men he will strip for, and later blow in the parking lot for his bag of coke.

Interesting.. I really like to do it outside though. Probably do some wind sprints(ladders). Something like 1x100 2x50 5x20 10x10 yards.

yeah, those are fun.

for awhile, when i was back home a few months ago I was doing hill sprints near my grandmothers house. those were fun too. I would sprint to the top and then rest would be my walk down.

if the field you are at has bleechers you could also sprint stairs.

Cold Iron · 04-01-2005, 09:00 PM

What, you dont believe me? Leon is built like a tank. The man Squats over 800, benches 550 and can pull over 700. I've witnessed everything.

Bahahaa -- April fools. Leon is actually gay. John H has witnessed everything.

There used to be a sandpit near my highschool and they wuld make the football players run up and down it. There is one a ways down the street I could use.. but I really REALLY hate sand in my shoes. I would have to buy a special pair just for sand running. I totally forgot about stadiums, I will use those too.

Oh, and I will be doing them after back day(2 days before leg day). Fucking cardio..

**P-funk** · 04-01-2005, 09:05 PM

and defenitly take pics. even if you aren't posting them here. for yourself take them. Sometimes, looking at yourself everyday and wanting somethign to happen can be tough as you can't see subtle changes in yourselft daily. Pictures ever week will be great as you will slowly see yourself melt away to a diffenret person.

**CowPimp** · 04-02-2005, 12:59 AM

Nice to see you incorporating speed work into your routine. I like the sound of training for a strongman competition too. I bet you will gain loads of functional strength on a routine geared toward that competition. Just out of curiosity, what other types of unconventional exercises will you be performing to train for a strongman competition?

PreMier · 04-02-2005, 04:33 PM

I will be doing farmer walks soon.. sandbag lifts, and heavy sled dragging. In July, my atlas stones will be here so I will be using them. I have a 225lber and a 140lber coming. Im also contemplating making a 'stone device' where you duct tape a couple bags of concrete together and lift it.

So I guess all the big guys train on Saturdays.. God, I am so small

Chest/Arms

RI's 60 seconds
BB bench-
135x12(warmup)
245x2
245x2
245x2
245x2
This was fairly easy this week. I will stick with it next week, and see how it goes. I want to make a jump to 265, but Im not ready yet.

30* incline DB-
85x5
85x5
85x5
Up 5lbs this week. Will up again next week.

CG bench-
185x5
185x5
185x5
185x3(fail)
Thank god for the low catch on the bench.. or I would have ended up like Yan lol

RI's 45 seconds
BB curls-
115x3
115x3
115x3

Hammer DB-
60x5
60x5

RI's 30 seconds
Did square bar holds to work on my pinching grip strength. BWx3 sets. 45/14/13 seconds.

Weight 200lbs. My fucking hip is sore for some reasong.. started to hurt yesterday, so I have been stretching it as best I can. I also bought a large chicen garlic pizza from pappa murphys. So I am eating it for 2 of my meals today. Should give me some nice energy for tomorrow.

DeadBolt · 04-03-2005, 03:26 AM

Nice w/o man! Weights are lookin good! The lower reps with a lower rest interval does what...gives you the strength as well as the stamina to make it through an entire comp so to speak?

MMmmM pizza for 2 meals heh sounds like fun!

Hey little guy !

You keep working out like that and you'll be as big as the rest of them in not time. Is there nothing that duct tape cannot do

PreMier · 04-03-2005, 03:03 PM

I am a little guy.. Some guys at the gym are like 6'3+ 250+. I wont ever be that big.

Sup DB. The lower RI's were to help my conditioning, and reps for strength.

No gym today, even though I was supposed to.. Im feeling too lazy. I slept in late, and all day yesterday my diet was total shit. Its also off today, because of the late wakeup.

BritChick · 04-03-2005, 03:27 PM

Hi Jake.

Soooo how was it?!

PreMier · 04-03-2005, 04:01 PM

Was ok. Went to chilis and ate, and I drank a few beers. Then just hung out.
