Today was belt and knee wraps for 220 - so whatever that is.

I've just started using the wraps and am still to work them out. At the moment they just seem to distract me and make my calves go numb.

I play for Wistaston Cricket club. Quick (ish) bowler (for the standard we play) and very agricultural batsman. Not so keen on fielding.

Personally I love playing, it's just the recovery that messes me up. How do you fare?

745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq		Sat 13th Feb

Light farmers/axle to warm up

Axle
75kg*3,3
95kg*2
115kg*f,1 (continental from now on)
117.5kg*1
125kg*f,f,f
Not 100% sure about the weights. Guestimating the bar and tyres/wheels at 45kg. It certainly feels at least that. With a belt I feel confident I could get the 125 continental.

Stones
100kg to 70 inches*1 - confident with this now
100kg to 74 inches* about 7 attempts. Getting closer. Seems to be that I will need to press this on.

Medley
70kg farmers 20m, tyre*2 flips, chain drag 20m
90kg farmers 20m, tyre*2 flips, chain drag 20m
110kg farmers 20m, tyre*3 - left chain as this felt enough

I think so!

I guesstimated the height by standing in front then measuring against me. I think it might be the platforms used in the final you did, however they are on pretty rough ground and you lift out of a dip, so that adds a little. They're bloody high.

745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq		Weds 17th Feb

Warmups - mix of front and back squats

Front squat
60kg*5
100kg*3
140kg*1
140kg*3

Deadlift
70kg*5
110kg*5
150kg*5
190kg*2 (belt and straps on)
210kg*2 - ditched straps, felt wrong
220kg*2
230kg*2

Deadlift off plates
110kg*14,13
Meh. Not really much of point.

Nothing exceptional today. Feeling hesitant on the deads, somewhat conscious of my poorly repaired belt buckle and a feeling that all is not right in my lower back. Need to perhaps add some rehab somewhere and keep the weights low until I need to go heavier.

I'm retired mate. Going to spend weekends with my family now I've got a son. Basically I chose strongman over cricket - tough choice though! Wink

Used to open the batting as a 'pinch hitter' and field at first slip. I used to get terrible shoulder and elbow injuries from throwing the ball so stopped doing that a couple of seasons ago, which must have been quite funny to see from the sidelines.

745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq		Saturday 29th Feb

Full of cold, so tried to be careful.

Axle
45kg*5
75kg*5
95kg*3
115kg*f,1,1 (continental clean)
120kg*clean, fail press
Felt like more than 120kg, but no more that 130. However I'll keep recording the weights like this until I know otherwise. Feeling positive about this for the Northwich qualifier, which is the first time I've ever felt positive about a presssing event.

Medley no.1 - thick handle farmers and medium tyre
70kg farmers*15m, tyre*2 flips - warmup
90kg farmers*15m, tyre*3
110kg farmers*15m, tyre*2 - tyre muddy and too difficult by now
130kg farmers*8m - bloody hard on the grip. Left hand kept going. Need to make these a strength.

Medley no.2 - duck walk and drag
155kg duckwalk 7m, chain 15m
155kg duckwalk 7m, chain and anchor 15m

Decent session considering the weather and the state of my sinuses.

180kg*3 (belt)
200kg*2

230kg*1 - slow
I just haven't got a clue with the wraps.

18 inch deadlift
140kg*5
180kg*3
220kg*1
260kg*1,1,1 - progressively slower
