The 330 looked easy!

In the scheme of things, 400 isn't far away at all.
It felt great!
I was a bit rushed for time, hadn't eaten lunch and possibly didn't rest long enough for the 340. Also didn't want to hitch, trying to not in training.

Hoping I can close in on 400 suited next year, ideally 380+ but we'll see in 12 months time!
Are you allowed to hitch in competition?

I think 340 is there but that'll be about it for now, I just can't pull slow!

Two Hands Anyhow.

Anyone here attempted this? It's new to me and looks like a fun challenge - I will be rubbish, but I'm going to give it a go. Make a change from my usual workouts, which I've lost interest in lately.

Offset load overhead? Getting there by sacrificing spinal position? Which will get go pop first - shoulder or lumbar spine?.

You’re a braver (or dumber) man than me to take up that kind of challenge.

Done it, but with two equal kettlebells. Good for variety and as a bit of fun, but not something I'd do regularly or take seriously.

I've been ill- felt like i'd been hit by a truck yesterday- freezing, sweating, joints and muscles aching. Just goosed! Appetite has died too. Pain in the ass....

Still not back to normal today, just not hungry. But I was going to do a mini cut soon to remove a little flab, so I'll use this to my advantage and treat it as a harsh 3-4 day cut. Every cloud.....

you're dying, give up all weights now and just get in your box

...but before you do. I'm gonna use your push/pull days next year. I like the 3 main lift rotation and always moving forward concept, alongside the DC methodology. I was gonna scroll through the pages here but it doesn't have rests. Can you knock up a push and a pull day for me, with the rotations of the primary lifts too? No deads/hinges on the pull, it's gonna be pure upper, my posterior chain is gonna be hit one day a week on my leg/PSC day. Once that is done you are free to perish, leaving a vascular body.

well, originally I was gonna say pre-jan, but the truth is I'm gonna reintroducing more running slowly in the new year and reduce all the leg/glute work I do, so probably anyday in Jan is fine actually. biggrin

two years? it's a staple of strogman! tongue out
I've never touched them, always wanted to at the iron pit, but never got round to it

We're all dying, I'm just doing it faster biggrin

Send me your Email, and i'll knock you up a split. I tend to rotate 2 main lifts now (push A, pull A, legs A, Push B, Pull B, Legs B)rather than 3, as I found that the 3rd lift was picked just to be a third lift, after a block, i'll swap one out, if I think necessary, which I often don't.

Just push/pull days needed, or legs too?

Whenever in Jan then!

I did them briefly pre injury and not touched them since!
It's sort of like riding a bike though, you don't really forget and don't lose much strength by not training them.
