Strongman Sunday 4/29

I started out with good intentions, but I finished like a chump today.  The bicep/elbow injury that I was trying to heal flared up on me while I was warming up on Atlas Stones and I packed it in.  However, Bryan and Chuck went hardcore today.

Farmer's Walk

270 lbs. x 25 yds.

Bryan: 9.8 sec.
Chuck: 11.3 sec.
Ross: 11.7 sec.
Austin: 17.4 sec.
Manny:  Battled it out and finished like a champ!


Husafell Stone Carry (approx. 300 lbs.)

Bryan set the bar high with a carry of approx. 40 yds.
I struggled, dropped it, but finished about 10 yds. short of Bryan
Chuck dominated carrying it all the way down, and then making the turn and kept on carrying.  Approx. 50 yds. or more.

Here is a video of me doing the Husafell Stone.

Atlas Stones

This is where I tapped out.  Bryan hit the 315 lb. stone for 6 reps in a row up to the platform.  It was an impressive feat, and I wish we had some video.  Then, he lifted the 350 lb. stone up to the platform.

Chuck tried and tried for the 350 stone, but just came up a tads short.


Sandbag Medley

230 lb. sandbag x 15 yds.
230 lb. sandbag x 15 yds.
275 lb. sandbag x 15 yds.
275 lb. sandbag x 15 yds.

Here is Bryan and Chuck doing the sandbag medley:

Axle Deadlifts

435 lbs. for reps. one minute

Bryan: 8 reps
Chuck: 12 reps.


Bryan and Chuck put the rest of us to shame.  I'm going to rest up and ice my bicep and elbow.  Also, I'm going to try not to be such a Lame-O wuss bag next week.  Mental strength is more important than physical strength, and today, I lacked both.
