Florida – Iron House/2015 Florida’s Strongest Man – Level 2
December 12, 2015
Today, we couldn't get much accomplished. It was pouring so we couldn't do any outside work. It was frustrating to say the least because it was our last "heavy-ish" training session. We are about 1 week out.
Plan:
Yoke Walks
Farmers (for frame carry)
Sand bag and keg medley
Fail.
We improvised and worked on heavy picks. Since every second counts in these events, you want to start off right and explosive. So working on picks (setup, timing, air, etc.) is something you need to include in your training. We used the trap bar to simulate our setup with the frame carry.
Worked up to 315lbs for a few singles (with a hold to work on grip).
Sandbag picks for a few triples. Getting familiar with the pick has it's advantages: you know where your hands need to be; how the implement needs to be placed; and you may shave a few seconds off your total time in result.
