Lifting Regularly and a WIN

This is a copy and paste directly from my training log. The first comment that was posted within a few hours read "wow, what a write up"

Its pretty straight forward, a quick summary of the Bavarian Strongman Contest that I won on thanksgiving weekend. The contest was in Kitchener Ontario, and was a fun day. Its pretty sweet that we had 25 deg weather in october.
Oh yeah and there's a few gym sessions in there too!

Saturday Oct 8th
Octoberfest Comp


Truck Pull
Truck was very easy, everyone ended up tossing the rope and sprinting. Was .2 of second of the 1st place time. I call these events "roulette" events, as it can be anyones game (But, Lance looked fast as hell on this event and I was sure he was going to be under the 30sec mark, he drilled this event). 3rd place


Log press
My log needs some work.
tied for ?? with 3 reps
Medley
Speedy medley with moderate weights, this was a good test of dicipline on the farmers, they had super long handles and were tricky. 1st place


Yoke
My fave event. 800 for 80' 18.3 seconds 1st place


Stones-185-360 to podiums, 2?:?? seconds, I wish I had a vid of this, I think I one motioned the first 4. 1st place


A really fun day, good weather, good crew of guys to hang out with and compete. As usual, John ran a great production.

I am incredibly happy to be pulling at full capacity again, all sets were without a belt and my neck felt fine.  I'm very pleased with the rate at which I was able to rehab my neck.  1 month of attention and treatments.  Ice, rest, massage, acupuncture, ice, ice, stretching and of course ice.


I attempted front squats but some "goddamn knee pain" was making them difficult.  I tried the leg press sled, to the same result.


Lying leg curl- 3 sets of 15
Pull down abs- 3 sets of 12 @120


Backwards walking sled drags- trips of approx 50yds @ 4 plates, (massive quad demand)
