Crystal's Powerlifting and Strongman (and other fun stuffs)


Recommended Posts

New log to go with my new motivation! Just finished up a Powerlifting meet last week as a member of the Plant Built team (hooray) and had a lovely de-load week. Now its time to get back to it! One of my new goals is to work on my flexibility and core strength so in that vein:

1 hour yoga, it kicked my trash. I haven't sweat that much in a long time and I just shook the whole time. Gonna keep this in the routine.

Well, I start a new routine on Sunday so today was mostly just playin' around the gym.

 

Climb (boulder) for about an hour.

 

Bench: 10 x bar, 65 lbs, 95 lbs, 105 lbs

Chins: 2, 2, 1 - some day I'll be able to rep these out without assistance!

BB Bent Rows: 15 x bar, 55 lbs, 55 lbs

Kettle Bell Swings: 15 x 50 lbs, 50 lbs, 62 lbs

 

Now off to work. I promised myself I'd keep the complaing to a minimum, but that is just not possible for me! I have Lupus (doctors used to think it was RA for those who knew me awhile ago) and what that means is I am in a fair amount of pain a fair amount of time. Today and for the last week its been lower spine. Today not as bad as a few ago, but enough that I skipped squats.

Absolutely C.O.! The yoga I take is at a climbing gym as well so it is especially catered to climbers

 

19 Aug 2014 - Tuesday

A bunch of Strongman clubs and groups got together for a meeting tonight, then we all worked out afterwards so its off routine, but this is what I did:

 

Yoke: 100 ft x 270 lbs, 100 ft x 360 lbs, 10 ft x 470 lbs (yes, that is only a tenth of previous walks!)

Farmers Frame Carry: total fail, the frame they have weighs 502 lbs so I couldn't budge the thing at all. Tried a few times and even had them lift it to see if I could even just hold that weight and I could not.

Squat: 8 x 135 lbs, 8 x 185 lbs, 2 x 225 lbs, then with knees wrapped and belt on 10 x 205 lbs! Awesome.

 

Srsly, those three little things took 2 hours! It was great, I love working out with this group of people, its too bad they are 60 miles south of me

Heavy bench today just to see where I'm at. Fairly happy with it, just wish I'd gotten that last one. Other than that, didn'tdo any leg stuff because my hips still suck

Another good workout. Easy and short, but just what I need. Hips are way better, but my shoulder is making itself known and I woke up this morning with hand pain, which is generally rare for me. At least it is all fairly mild today

That is a good plan Scott! Next time I will say that for sure

Bench and shoulder press day. Hips hurt so only did these. Didn't write down the amounts and now I don't remember.

 

Since then, it has been Lupus-pain September, which means more rest and long walks with dogs when I can. And sleep. I sleep so much when this stuff goes off.

Small Strongman Comp

 

Carry and Sled-Drag Medley: Carry 130 pound atlas stone 15 feet, Keg 30 feet, and 100 pound sled drag for 30 feet for time. Didn't get my time from the ref, but finished it pretty fast.

 

Dumbell and Stone Press Medley: 60, 70, 80 pound one-arm dumbell press and 42, 82 pound two-arm stone press for time. Did NOT finish, got all the stones, but couldn't get the 70 or 80 pound dumbells overhead with one arm!

 

Farmers and Tire Flip Medley: can't remember the farmer's weight, but it was with thick handles and not a bad weight. Ran with it for 30 feet and then flipped a 300 pound tire back 30 feet. Also went pretty fast.

 

Keg Toss: 3 attempts for distance. Never did this before and it was super fun!

 

14 Sept. 2014 - Sunday

Made a new axle bar to train with that was about 130 pounds, but it broke after a few rounds of deadlifts and attempts at cleans! Turns out I used some junky metal to attach the tires to the bar and it sort of shattered. Also did some bench pressing. Otherwise a pretty light day after yesterday's comp.

DL: warm ups, 10 x 135 lbs, 185 lbs, 8 x 225 lbs, 5 x 245 lbs, 1 x 265 lbs, 1 x 265 lbs

 

BB Bent Rows: 3 x 8 x 95 lbs - ugly, need to drop the weight and pause these.

 

One-arm DB Press: 5 x 35 lbs strict, 10 x 35 lbs push, couple x 45 lbs - so weak at these!

 

Last week ended with more pain. Haven't lifted in 6 days and was wearing all kinds of braces and things to my job just to get thru the days. But today is much better. Wearing my knee sleeves to deadlift though. Fatigue was kicking my butt as well, but if I feel good enough to lift then by god I am going to go lift come hell or high water. Nothing like being denied workouts to motivate me.
