cool



splitting of the stones My stones are now in Vernon. I haven't been training for a while now In the last couple of weeks I've moved my wife stuff and her business to Vernon also my plates , dumbbells, and most of the strongman training equipment are gone as well. so far I've moved 10,000 lbs of training equipment and I still have all the equipment in my gym plus about 750 lbs of competition plates. Today I bench for the first time since aug 23 did triples up to 295 then a 315 single I was happy with this after almost three months off benching and a low body weight of 205 Did a drop set 205x17 this was down allot last did some tris and shoulders. Now I'll wait to see how sore I'll be lol

The end of an era

So today was most likely the last real training day in my home gym. It has been my home for the last seventeen years. This weekend I will start tearing it down. So many people have trained here, so many memories, personal triumph's, so many valiant efforts for the next five pounds. It will be hard to build the same atmosphere in a new place. But it is time for a new life and move I must. So come by and see me in Vernon when I get set up again. Today was a great day yet again Dallas and I did some med stance squats nothing to great accept Dallas did a drop set of 315 for 20 reps a new pr At the same time Steve and pat were pulling deads Pat pulled a pr 505 Steave was off a bit as he just got back from 4 weeks in Europe Steve did a drop set of 275 x 20 and Pat did 315x20. Dallas and I did some pulls and Dallas got a personal best 550 I haven't trained since my last post so I just coasted today. So thats it from Taz's gym (t shirt in the back ground)where no pencil neck were allowed

two weeks off

So I haven't been training the last couple of weeks, but Sean came out today. We did like a million sets of squats working on technique. Then went outside and worked up to a max single in the axle clean and press we finished with 3 sets of 5 clean and presses. Lastly we did a couple of sets of stone loading 4 stones per set. That was it. I have alot on the go right now so I'm not sure if I'll be training much. I certainly will not be training for a meet any time in the near future.

update

Long time between posts. My life is very busy right now so I've only been training once or twice a week. the video is from last weeks training. On tuesday Steve and I did a full body training day I got a 40 lbs squat pr with the 12 inch camber squat bar. Bench went to an easy 335 then drop set for 20 reps lastly some chins with a 3/4 inch chain around the neck and shoulders. This was actually alot of work even though it dosn't look like much.
