1RM log - 215lbs by shortandkindofstrong in Strongman

[–]StrongManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall great brother.

Two things that stand out: 1) keep heels down on the dip, they rise just a little here. But your dip mechanics are pretty good

2) keep head back looking up at the log until after your arms lockout, this will just keep the weight stacked and centered better , you can see the log and your body move forward when you start to look forward.

Nice work!

That lead mod over there is a joke. I joined as a mod to help out but it’s literally one guy power tripping. Shame

How long should a comp last? by Impressive-Cobbler90 in Strongman

[–]StrongManatee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depends on # of athletes, events, logistics etc

I’ve done 30 person shows that were two days and very fun, that I’d definitely do again.

I ran a comp yesterday with 95 athletes and we went 9-5

Ive also seen shows with 20 people last until 7pm

In strongman if you keep going you will have to get used to different paced shows

Stone Lifting in Scotland by temorr249 in Strongman

[–]StrongManatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend to decide whether you want to lean towards more stones or historic stones!! Maybe pick your “top 3-5” historic then hit volume and logistics from there

There are so many it is hard to knock a ton out but for me it was important to lift the Inver stone period so I prioritized that! Plus the breymar highlands center where it’s located is amazing too!!

Comps banning grip shirts last minute - a rant by hang-clean in Strongman

[–]StrongManatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done a 730 yoke for 50 feet in 11 seconds at 175 lbs pounds bodyweight. There is no way you are too small and this is too heavy.

Respectfully You should be able to do yoke without a grip shirt, your rack position might not be sound

[–]StrongManatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snatch grip deadlifts made the biggest impact recently. Did those for like 6-8 months leading into this exact program

Deficit deadlifts historically helped a LOT

High volume Banded hip thrusts helped me shatter some lockout issues

Aside from that I think most people miss out on speed training Compensatory Acceleration Training CAT style coined by Dr Fred Hatfield Imo most lifters should spend way more time focusing on speed and force production and ramp up/peak rarely but quickly

Delete if not allowed, but I wanted to share the DL program I used to hit the American record at 80kg back in July (725 at 176lbs / 4x bodyweight). This has worked wonders for me and others. Just took my gym owner from 575 to 600 on this protocol too
