Holy cow Brandon, are you going to compete at teen nationals this year??

No i wont be a teen this year. I turn 20 on april 11. Right now i qualified for open LW nationals so we will see how it goes till then. I wish i was this strong when i competed last summer at teen nationals!

[Patrick McGuffin]

Oh, well That sucks, I wanted to meet more teen competitors from the board, at least that will be one less person to place above me lol :D (its always a good idea to look on the bright side of life) :BB:

[patrick w.]

Scott, what are grappler deads?



Good luck to the both of you in reaching your goals.

[Scott Porter]

You should be able to find a description of grappler deadlifts at EliteFTS.

But basically you put two bars parallel into a corner, load up the ends on each one, stand between the bars and grip just behind the sleeve and pull up and back.

Grappler deads really hit the upper back and also teach you how to pull back.

[Kara M]

how come brad and other crew members don't post with you guys on this forum?

[Scott Porter]

Kara, I know Brad checks this forum and I told him we started a training log. I'll tell him YOU were asking about him and I'm sure he'll be ecstatic.

Ryan Bakke has his own log. Kevin's training is top secret. Don't know about anyone else.

-----------------------

On a side note, I think I have a badly strained calf muscle. It hasn't felt right for a week now. Dorsi and plantar flexion are both painful. And I have a basketball game tonight, so might have to take it easy.

My overall training program is likely to change soon. I have no contest to train for since I decided against the upcoming Boston show for a multitude of reasons. The earliest I will compete again will be nationals. It's time to train for my upcoming fire academy in two months. I'm going to come in lean, strong and conditioned.

[Kara M]

I know its hard to keep up a training log... or it is for me atleast so that is cool that you guys log it all in one thread. So then you have to keep it up for the other person.
I like the AZ training crew ;)

Gotta get back into it, I still got the after competition lazyness and With school starting back up i just been really tired. Still getting back into the school schedule and all that. Hopefully i get used to it again soon.

I do farmers holds with 370-400 and my grip BLOWS. Gotta really overload the grip, Brandon.

[Scott Porter]

:LOL:

That was funny stuff Kara. In all fairness, I have seen her do 195 holds.

Brandon has done more but what's funny is he basically gets the same time whether the weight is 170 or 250.

FF academey training day.

I have come to the conclusion that strongman needs to take a backseat as my ass is out of shape when it comes to my anaerobic threshold and overall work capacity. I was sucking wind during the skills course. I'll start adding in some GPP and specific conditioning during the week so the academy doesn't kick my ass too much come April.

Nice Log PR scott. I havent clean and press each rep for a while i need to get back into doing that.


Brad and I started doing C&P every rep. I like it mostly for conditioning and building my wind. Also, I think I'm good for 13-15 press reps with 220 (your lucky I didn't do AZ!!) but my clean is not up to par with my press.

I think I can do 9 C&P reps with 220 on the log in a 75 sec time limit but would like to build that up to 12 reps.

Also, Brad set a PR on log today too! It was a good day.

[Brad Schofield]

yeah pr's just dont have the same feeling if you dont puke after, i dont know maybe its just me. hit 240x1 in log today. i know its no 220 for 7 clean and press but at least i can flip the 925 tire. :B:

[Scott Porter]

I'll flip the 925 on Wednesday AFTER I do the 750 in a death medley.

Oh, and I'll do it in one motion. :N:

[Brandon Campbell]

Last time i did clean and press on log was at teen nationals it was 200lbs 60sec's and i did 11reps (only cause i ran out of time i wasnt winded at all). I can get prolly 9-11 reps with 220 with C&P each rep. It doesnt make me any more tired really.

And ya better do more then one flip, ya dream about gettin the tire and then ya dont even love it like you should! :EP: shame on you. Shameth the to helleth...hahaha

PR!!!! 240x1 awsome! Now if ya did log more like i tell ya to brad and stop playing with your neck harness... haha jk. We just setting tons of PR! how sweet is that!

now Whos up for some heavy farmers and stones on wensday with some tire.... ohh man do i love that tire

Started out with farmers

I have to do a 600lb frame carry for 40feet, Tonight i did 290 farmers for 20-25feet. Which made me quite happy as that was pretty close for having 3months to left to train.

Then i moved onto Tire flip truck pull medly, Substituted with our fancy tire sled

Comp weight is 700tire to a hummer pull both 50feet

6flips with the 750 to a 60-80foot drag. Next time i will hook up my truck.

Then stones, comp weight is
250-300-300-360-360 to a 54inch

I did 315x2 (very crappy like) to a 52inch. Need lots of work to load that 360.

all in all i got a hell of alot of work ahead of me, But everything is in reach. So as long as i dont slack off, Im good to go!

Deadlift, Squats


Let me say i am going to switch my farmers stones and medly to sundays and do log and stuff on wed.. Mxing what i did yesterday with today = not a good idea.

Deadlifts

225 1x10
315 1x10
405 1x10

455 4x4 Working on speed. 450 is the first weight of the Deadlift medley so i want to make sure i can get the 450-500 with speed and hopefully the 550. then give it all to the 600

squats

225 1x10
225 4x20 (workin on explosive power from the legs)

Hack squats machine

225 1x10
275 1x10
315 1x10

[Brandon Campbell]

woops forgot bout this oh well heres what i did today

2-23-06

Squats

225x10
315x8
315x8
315x8
225x20
225x20
225x12 (3sets of 20reppers is to many! haha)

Deadlift medley Practice
Wanted to see where I stand on this event for training.
have to do 450-500-550-600
Today after my squat workout i did

450-500-550(this one was ugly) Only rest inbetween was me putting the 25's on each side to up the weight. I was pretty beat after squats, and had no belts for this. 600 is still going be hard as hell to get when im fresh with belts. But hey thats what strongman is all about!

[Scott Porter]

Looks like the deadlift is getting up there. What number event is it? If it's after the frame carry and also the tire flip, I'd imagine getting all four will prove to be difficult for a lot of the amateur LW's.

[Brandon Campbell]

The deadlift medley on the entry form right now is the second event right after the max log. So i should be fairly fresh. i estimate from todays performence that my DL is around 580-600, My form was really sucky on the 500-550 From going fast. With some belts and Practicing gettin my form going that fast down i should do well. Like i said its goin be painful. I was spent after the first three! I think i will take a nice break from heavy squats and Deadlifts next week. My body is feeling it.

[Brad Schofield]

loaded the 330 stone to a 52 inch platform tonight. thats a huge pr from a 43 inch. then 265 to the 52 inch fpr 6 reps. ok brandon your turn. :EP:

[Brandon Campbell]

Took our death stone for a nice walk of Approx 240feet or so (H-stone aka Piece of sharp jagged granite). Did some crappy log work, then flipped the 900lb tire three times. Today was a lazy lazy day.

Sunday plans- Load 330 to same box as brad 2-3times and go WOOO WOOO MILK POWER!!!

[Brad Schofield]

scott and i hit the hercules neck harness today with some big time prs! i love doing the exercises that make everybody in the gym go hhhmmmm.

[Scott Porter]

Nothing to add except I would like to remind Brad and Brandon...

You guys still haven't caught my 330 stone load to a 56" box.

I still have second most flips with the 925 tire, 6.

I have done 315 farmers for 62 ft.

I still have done more 220 log clean & press each rep than Brandon, 8.

Okay, so there's some motivation for you. You guys better surpass those marks while I take time off. I'm counting on it.

Let the bodybuilder jokes begin. :EP:

[Brad Schofield]

[Scott Porter]

BRAD?! is that both you or is that first picture of someone else?

SCOTT look at all that!

BRANDON... DID you hear about chocolate milk?

[Brandon Campbell]

Good training day!

[Jamie McEwan]

Looking strong, Brandon! Keep at it, bro.

[Brandon Campbell]

Looking strong, Brandon! Keep at it, bro.


thanks dude its 1st place at Utah's strongest man or bust! :M: Ive been working my weaknesses like karazy They are getting better everytime! I got alot of motivation for this competition, especially since almost every pro HW is going be there to compete! After I compete in the Am's , the next day i get to see freaks and watch their technique and learn. goign be awsome!

PR DAY!!!
today was fun, Kevin and I hit some nice Pr's on clean and press. I did 295. Kevin Made a big jump in his and finally got passed his mental block, Threw up 355 like it was nothing! I wouldnt be surprised if we added another 10-20lbs to them soon.

[Brad Schofield]

all in all it was a pretty crappy workout. did some log for reps. and tried some lock-outs. this was the first time that scott and i have tried these. turns out the biggest diff between scotts press and mine is core strength. scott held up 405 for about 10 seconds and i did the same with 275. it wasnt so much that it was hard to get off the pins as it was stabalizing under the bar. i guess i need to do some one handed press on a stability board like scott does. :LOL: but on a brighter note, scotts new idea of having a feat of strength set at the end of each workout was a great idea. mainly because i beat him in pinch grip holds for time. :EB:

[Brad Schofield]

TRAP BAR DEADS!! worked up to a 3 rep max, which was 475. scott did 3-4 sets of 5 w 475. dont know what the deal was with my box squats. 315+90 chain for 3, then one. scott hit 2-3 sets of ten. and he didnt let me hear the end of it. feat of strength- i still reign supreme!! hangs for time with 2 towels wrapped around a bar. i dont think scotts used to losing cuz hes kind of a poor sport.HAHAHA!! :LOL:

[Scott Porter]

Me: I'll bet you I win the next feat of strength.

You: I don't bet anymore.

Me: Oh c'mon! Okay, I'll bet I can get you betting by the end of the day.

You: Nope. Not gonna do it.

Me: I'll give you 2 to 1 odds.

You: Nope.

Me: 3 to 1.

You: thinking..... YOU'RE ON!

Me: I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but I will.

You: No, no, not uh.

:LOL:

[Brandon Campbell]

attempted 605 Deadlift today, Didnt get it but i got it around my knees so its only a matter of time till its locked out and im waiting for 630!

front squats 225 3x6

Good mornings 135x10 135x10 185x10

hack squat machine 225x10 315x10 315x10

[Brandon Campbell]

MUAHAHHAHAHA

today was fun! and we decided to do as many reps with 225 on Incline and Bench we can and well heres the results! 2 sets each

Incline
Me- 225x17 first set
Kevin-225x20
Me- 225x14 second set
Kevin-225x7 (due to giggling LOL)

Bench-
Me-225x25 first set
Kevin-225x28
Me-225x15 Second
kevin- 225x18

Then for the grand finale!

Me- 135x39! (most hilarious feeling i have ever felt lifting!)
kevin- 135x40!

it was a glorious day, I think we are going to be quite sore tommorrow! :LOL: :LOL:

[Brad Schofield]

giggling? what is wrong with you two??

[Scott Porter]

Felt like a PR day today...and it was.

Log Press
-clean once
-220 x 11 - easy, had a few more in me
-240 x 9 PR!! - did it in about 30 secs, think i was good for 2 more if i was working on a 60 sec time limit

Yesterday did some farmers with 290 for 75 ft, fast and easy. Not a PR, but I rarely do farmers these days.

Tentative end of year goals...

Log Press - 260 x 10, 240 x 10 c&p, 320 max
Farmers - move faster with bigger weights :D
Tire Flip - 925 x 10, 750 x 20
Husafell - 400 ft.
Stones - 375 to 48", 330 to 60", 280 to 54" x 10
Deadlift - 650 from floor with just a belt

I am confident I will nail all these. Hopefully before nationals.

[Brad Schofield]

iso-deadlifts make me want to puke and die!
did 6 second iso-deads at the bottom rack position x6. then at the next pin-hole up x6. followed those with 9 sets of 275 deficit deads with doubled mini bands to work on speed. then just a couple of light sets of box squats-275x8 and 225x12, da ya know for da pump. and nghr's and pull-thrus. FEAT OF STRENGTH!! beat scott again(of course). one handed hanging holds for time. just barely won. he keeps making excuses about why he didnt win"i kept spinning around" :N:

[Brandon Campbell]

3-18-06
TALK ABOUT A PR DAY!!!!

I lost count on how many PR's our group set today! Almost everyone got one today it was pretty amazing! Also Breck IS A FREAK! he also got some PR's today!

Here are todays Events!

Loaded the 370lb stone to a 44inch ANOTHER HUGE PR!

I think everyone killed the 370 today it was amazing! Breck and Brad loaded also to the 44. Then we all talked scott into loaded it to the 52! he didnt want to do it but we called him out! PRs RULE!!! SO DO REHBANDS!! :LOL:

[Brad Schofield]

370 STONE!!!!! now we need some heavier stones.

[Scott Porter]

Last heavy deadlifts for me for 3 months...

500 x 5, fast and easy. I think I had 7 in me if I had to for competition.

Brandon told me he did 500 for 2 today so he has some catching up to do. :M:

[Nicolette L.]

looking good! Keep them catching up! (sorry Brandon). Just make sure you stay ahead of the game. I would hate to see them sneak up on you after you were talking mess. lol

[Brandon Campbell]

Oh that little fact was left out! Sorry brandon. I give credit where it is due. I now see you deserve it. So does Scott need to catch up with you?

[Brandon Campbell]

Oh that little fact was left out! Sorry brandon. I give credit where it is due. I now see you deserve it. So does Scott need to catch up with you?

haha no... scotts has a good estimated 30-40lbs on his dead over me. his max is approx 610-625. Mines like 570-590. But im catching up. Im guessing by next month ill have him! On legs it seems he hits the big numbers then i follow, on upper body its i hit them then he follows. Its fun!

[Jamie McEwan]

Arizona must be breeding good deadlifters these days. Good work guys!

[Scott Porter]

Nicolette, Brandon doesn't deserve any credit. :LOL:

Jamie, its not just deadlifting we're breeding out in AZ. If Brandon doesn't go Pro at Utah, you better watch out for us at nationals.

[Jamie McEwan]

No doubt, Scott. Things are looking very good for you guys.

[Brandon Campbell]

GRRRR IM CRAZY WITH THE MILK POWER!!!! :p :D: :LOL: P

[Brad Schofield]

today was a lazy training day for me do to some pretty bad sciatic nerve pain. i still had to do some stones though. especially after watching brandon attemped the 310 to a 56". he missed it so it was a chance to beat him in something. missed it by a couple inches, then retackied and made it my bitch. THATS A PR! i think that was some good motivation for brandon, cuz then he loaded it too. a pr for him too. ill get you next time campbell :EP:

[Brandon Campbell]

MUAHHAHA you cant get ahead of me brad, I am the unstopable, if you can do it i know i can! grrr MILK POWER!!!

lol. yea it was fun brads my motivation on stones!

[Brad Schofield]

[Brandon Campbell]

[Nicolette L.]

Scott~ r u saying the power of Brandons milk is not that strong?

[Brandon Campbell]

Brandon ~
What type of milk are you drinking man?

WHOLE MILK!!!! :M: :LOL: anything less shall never cross these lips

[Patrick McGuffin]

......Badger milk.

[Brandon Campbell]

......Badger milk.


actually i drink chuck norris' sweat. I found it to be the purest from of testosterone in the WORLD! 8oz glass instantly adds 300lbs to all your lifts! LOL.

[Brad Schofield]

alright campbell, you better have hit 580 today. i did 8 stes of functional iso-deads with 475 for a count of 6. then 10 sets of speed deads with 315 and they were really freakin fast too. coming up on my max effort day, so you better hurry to 600 :EB:

[Brandon Campbell]

nope still stuck at 555. I need to take a week off heavy farmers in order to be able to do it. No more maxing out for me im tired of it haha! :EP:

[Scott Porter]

Did the 750 tire for 12 fast and easy reps. I had more in me but no reason to push it. Lightweights look out! When I get back to training hard again, it's on. :EP:

Unfortunately that's another 9 weeks away. :mad:

[Scott Porter]

750 x 20 = Pure Pain!

I don't think I will be doing that again anytime soon.

I felt like this :BB:

[Brad Schofield]

i hit a pr in farmers tonight...260 farmers for about 40-50ft and held it for several seconds afterwards, so i know i could have gone farther. i was moving pretty slow and i know that it still needs to come up a little, but give me a freakin break! its still a pr and it was the first time actually training farmers for about 4 months. goal by end of the year...300 50-100ft.

oh and scott, i will make you do 30 reps with that tire at the end of the year. and you WILL do it. and then you'll make me do 20.

[ClayEdgin]

Great work guys; it's an awesome thing to have a good crew to train with!

Anyone coming to the contest in NM in a few weeks?

[Brandon Campbell]

Brads a little pr setter, janurary he couldnt even budge the 260 off the ground. :p now lets set some PRs on the Log! dont neglect it, log loves you why dont you love log. :T:

[Melissa Mesich]

Scott,

I had to check out your training logs too. Wow!!! I can't imagine what you do when you train hard. BTW: Thanks for all the tips and encouragement.

-Mel:)

[Brad Schofield]

we are the last group in the journals section so i thought id bump it up. we havent been posting our sessions, but thats cuz they are top secret. i will say that we just recieved our conans wheel, viking press, appolons axle and a new log . we will also be obtaining a shiny new hussafell stone, so very soon we might even get sorta strong. everybody needs to watch out for the az crew. that includes you, team bigsac!!! :LOL:

[Ryan Bakke]

the AZ CREW is a bunch of animals.....raving lunatics really! i once went out to train with these guys and scott (the head of this 3 ring circus) has them all drinking diesel fuel and and......and rubbing goats blood all over their bodies before stones.

"THE KEVING NEE" has a throne with side handles so when he rests and uses the 12in log as a toothpick, we must carry him to the next event station then massage his feet.....and he has terrible feet!

scott also recently had his backyard swimming pool filled with milk....whole raw milk....organic even....and i arrived to find the nordic Brandon jumping off the roof naked into the pool screaming, "MILK POWER!" then towel himself off and hit a set (nude) and cannonball right back into the frothy pool


the neighbors have dishes and plates falling out of their china cabinets and often have their family dinners disturbed by falling tires/logs/stones/ and the gutteral screams made by the 211lb schofield when he juggles the 370 stone. the police are called but they are afraid...and peel out of the cul-de-sac once they realize his ferocity.

these guys are sick!

ps. sorry i missed ya again, but this kid of mine is comming soon and if i aint in my gym, i am at the doctor!

[ClayEdgin]

I once saw Scott Porter break an entire cow in half over his knee, then tip up each half of the broken animal and drank its contents.

Brad,

Team Big Sac sent the scout team (me and Marilyn) to AZ last time. Next time we will send in the 'A' Team, Mick, Hamish, Andrew, Chris, Matt (who spied on the AZ boys for us a couple of months back), and...we have another guy interested in coming out and training with us. All we need now is a stud pro like you guys!! Oh, yeah, and some strength and technique too :LOL:

Our motto is: (well, our real motto is WWDHD, what would Dan Harrison do?), but our other one is: We will travel anywhere, anytime, to take an ass kicking, as long as there is steak and cake afterwards!!

Are you really 211 lbs?? I thought you had to drop a bunch of weight before the ACME roadhouse contest?? Or did Ryan mean 231?

If Scott isn't pro by then, Mick and I might see him at the PFM nationals (not sure if we are going yet), so the AZ crew can lay another whooping on the Big Sac guys.

On a side note, I saw somewhere that there might be another contest in AZ coming up, any word on that??

Team Big Sac is trying to get our average age down, but it's not working. We picked up Chris (22) and Matt (20) who you met, but then we picked up and over 40 and the new guy that might come out is 39. So....our excuse is: we are old and fat. Maybe we need to move near AZ State, all those young co-eds would force us to get in shape. But then....they would just ruing it by calling us "sir" all the time. Right now Team Big Sac looks like: 38, 38, 37, 25, 22, 20, sometimes 40, woman:ageless. Shoot, in a couple of years we'll have a Master's Team, :M:

Sorry to ramble. Hope to see Team AZ soon. Keep up the good work, you guys are all looking strong.

See ya

Mark Sikora

[Brad Schofield]

yes, i hover between 210-213. one of these days ill be BIG and STRONG.
and to answer your question about an az contest. there are some ideas being thrown around for around the end of the year. i dont know how much im allowed to disclose, but it will be a MUCH BETTER comp.(not that the last one didnt kick ass) and there is talk about it being 2 days. trust me you guys wont want to miss this. it WILL be a TON OF FUN.

[Brandon Campbell]

hahah ryan tha was freaking hilarious, that was like us if we were on cartoons! hahahhaha

im digging hte pool filled with milk idea mmmmmmm swim and gulp swim and gulp swim and gulp. I be 270 in no time!

[CharlesDMickey]

everybody needs to watch out for the az crew. that includes you, team bigsac!!! :LOL:

Like anyone needs to worry about us.... :rolleyes:

[MarkSikora]

Brad, sorry about that. I mixed up you and Brandon re; the weight thing. Team Big Sac drinks too much and my brain cells are fading fast!! Sorry.

see ya

Mark Sikora

[Scott Porter]

If Scott isn't pro by then, Mick and I might see him at the PFM nationals (not sure if we are going yet), so the AZ crew can lay another whooping on the Big Sac guys.

I'm planning on PFM nationals as my first contest back. Brandon is trying to talk me into doing Big Tony's Pro/Am in August but I don't feel I'll be ready by then. I'm just finishing up the academy and haven't trained heavy for the last 3 months, although strangely enough some of my lifts/events have gone up or stayed the same.


On a side note, I saw somewhere that there might be another contest in AZ coming up, any word on that??

Mark Sikora

The plan is for a winter contest, mid November to early December area. We are talking about having a 2 day contest, but I want to make sure I can get a lot of out of state people again. You'll see some different events than the last AZ contest and hopefully have an even better experience. The venue we get will determine the events ultimately as well as the number of athletes we can accept. As before, we'll try to have "race" events and might even run multiple events at a time using different divisions. There will be an under 200 class as well, although I know Mark can easily compete with the 231's.

See you soon!

Scott,

You should totally do Big Tony's. It is going to be a GREAT show!!!! Heck, you are the reason I started lifting "heavy" in the first place, and now I am going to compete in that show. (It's not too late to book the same flight as Brandon) Thanks again by the way for your help on getting me started with the bigger lifting!!!!

[Scott Porter]

[Scott Porter]

Really good day training events for everyone.

Brandon did some speed farmers walks with 250 looked really fast on his first set. Then he did some conan's with me but lost to me by probably only a few steps so I retained my Conans Champion status...for now. :D

I started out with Conans and set a PR with 800 lbs. and managed 2 laps...or about 130 ft. This was a 50 lb. PR plus an additional half lap. I feel I can get a little more weight and distance next time.

We then moved on to car deadlift simulation, 15" starting height parallel grip handles. I did 3 sets total. First set was 650 lbs. and did 10 reps. Then went to 800 and did 8 reps. Then loaded up for 1000+ lbs. and did 5 reps. We had 870 in just plates. Brandon did the first set of 700 and the last set he added 40 more lbs. than my final set and did a double looking really strong. I was going to try it but ripped a big callous on my last set and had no grip power.

I think we both feel a little more confident about the car deadlift in Wisconsin. :D


Next EVENT day....

Husafell Carry --> for pain tolerance ;)
Yoke Walk
and maybe some drag after yoke for some conditioning.

[Brad Schofield]

im starting to get a little pissed here. humor me and start doing conans on wednesday. WTF?! is that too much to ask?! :EP:

[Scott Porter]

How about you get a better work schedule so you can work out with us more than 3 days/week???

HA! I'll switch it up, we'll do conan's in a week from this Wednesday.

[Ryan Bakke]

hell, I would like a better work schedule so i can train with you guys more than once every month or so! nice work guys and the new equipment sound great!

[Brad Schofield]

figured i would post a pr, as pathetic as it might be but a pr none the less.
flipped the 925 tire for 6 reps yesterday. previous best was 4. the last time i used it was about 2-3 months ago so maybe the rest helped...? i will get 7-8 next time.

[Scott Porter]

that's a good PR. if you get 7-8 you are a baller. now if only you can get every other event as good as your tire and stones you'd be a force.

i still don't understand how the 16 year old flipped the 925.

my few sets of 5 were painful...can't let you and leebo catch up to me!

[Brandon Campbell]

21 flips with our 750 tire, WOOOOO WOOOO WOOOOO

It was very ummm hard to breath. :LOL: now im going to do 15flips with the 925!

[rjpe99]

21 flips with our 750 tire, WOOOOO WOOOO WOOOOO

It was very ummm hard to breath. :LOL: now im going to do 15flips with the 925!

Yeah - flipping something that weighs 750 lbs 21 times will tend to gas you a little - lol. Training looks good - less than a month till Big Tony's - OH YEAH!!!

[Scott Porter]

Good job Brandon. Next time go faster, I think the seasons changed during your set! Haha, just kidding man.

Remember it's a TIMED EVENT!

[Brandon Campbell]

Good job Brandon. Next time go faster, I think the seasons changed during your set! Haha, just kidding man.

Remember it's a TIMED EVENT!


haha hey the first 10 were fast. The next 11 were another 60seconds or so haha :LOL:

I dont think 21flips of a 750 is an actual EVENT! So there for you can take as long as ya want! :D:

[Brad Schofield]

hey...umm scott...i just noticed your avatar. and i thought you looked like you might need some work on truck pull. your feet are staggered not straight and your too upright for truck pulling. just thought id give you some advice there. :EL:

[Scott Porter]

That's it, I've had it!!

I'm changing my avatar. Now I just need to compete and bleed with my brothers in the arena and get another picture. Maybe one where I'm bleeeeeeeding!

:D

[CharlesDMickey]

Maybe a pic of you kickin' my ass at the PFM will work? :M:

[Scott Porter]

Avatar changed. Critique that Robbie Walden!

Mick, I probaby will do PFM. I will have to fly in late Friday and out right after the contest. It still depends on how I do in Wisconsin. I'm also looking at another show before LW Nationals. So I might compete 2-3 times before LW Nationals if I'm feeling good and can get work off and have the money (that being the key thing).

Unlike some people, my mommy and daddy don't pay for me to compete across the country all the time . :EL:

[Dan Harrison]

Unlike some people, my mommy and daddy don't pay for me to compete across the country all the time . :EL:

I know that was a shot at me, since my dad actually can afford to pay for most of my airfare, so if you just want to stop talking crap on a message board and say it to my face in Wisconsin, be my guest, but I know you won't.

[Matt Nickerson]

Good pic Scott. It looks like kevin just pooped that stone out. As said before around here, you look a little high :EB: .

[Scott Porter]

I know that was a shot at me, since my dad actually can afford to pay for most of my airfare, so if you just want to stop talking crap on a message board and say it to my face in Wisconsin, be my guest, but I know you won't.

Of course it was a shot at you Dan...all in good fun right? It's not like you haven't take a jab at me before.

But you really should refrain from talking trash to me about not competing often enough if your dad helps you out with the money to compete all the time. It really is pretty expensive to fly somewhere and compete, and not everyone has the financial means to do so, though they might want to.

In regard to saying it to your face, I'm not the type of guy to just go up to someone and talk shit for no real reason. If you say something to me, I'll fire back, but I don't care enough to start something we both know will accomplish nothing.

[Dan Harrison]

Well you care enough to start firestorms with me on here, why not in person? Oh wait, you would get clocked...that's why. Anyone else here would take a swing too if you said the same crap to their faces.

I only took jabs at you because you started belittling my accomplishments on that one thread i deleted a few weeks ago. Remember that one? Remember how everyone else jumped on yoru ass about it? Do you love starting fights on message boards? Don't you know how many people on here you've pissed off already? Don't you know half the people here hate you? I didn't start butting into YOUR threads and saying bad things. Of course you wouldn't say it to my face because I or anyone else would want to take a swing at you.

Keep your jabs to yourself. I don't need them. I will cease fire when you do, I promise. Seriously, I am not trying to instigate stuff, whereas you are.

Expensive? It's all relative. It's not expensive to me because I save my money and prioritize. My pops has bought my last few tickets, but when I was making 9 bucks an hour and for the first 7 or 8 shows, i paid for everything out of my own pocket. I do realize you have a son to support too, which is a burden I do not share, so I DO have extra money that i wouldn't if I had a boy too, which makes travelling easier.

I apologize for hijacking the training thread, I won't do it again.

[Brandon Campbell]

My daddy pays for my tickets also! :LOL: i offered but he says "I support you dammit its my job!" hahaha

im happy to be sponsered by my parents. And they happily sponser me! if they offer to pay im not going say NO!!! :LOL:

im sure im going get cut off next year i plan on doing 5-8 shows :LOL:

anyway

Had some nice OHP work today,

did
225 military strict press x8

then a
225 BHN strift press x12
then a 275x3

Standing of course not seated. For some reason jerks hurt so i had ot settle for strict presses :(

Did some cuff exercises and tri's and called it a day

[Scott Porter]

Well you care enough to start firestorms with me on here, why not in person? Oh wait, you would get clocked...that's why. Anyone else here would take a swing too if you said the same crap to their faces.

I apologize for hijacking the training thread, I won't do it again.

If you actually think what we said back and forth to each other is worth getting in a fight for in real life, then I feel bad for you. I have pretty thick skin and zero temper so you'd really have to piss me off in person for me to want throw some bows. I can NOT like you and still be able to be around you without wanting to fight believe it or not. But like I said, if you said something to me I wouldn't hesitate to give you my opinion, even if it meant you were going to retaliate with swinging punches. Assuming you hit me, you go to jail and I get money. So I have no problem with that. :D

I remember belittling your accomplishments AFTER you called me gay a few times. Maybe you forgot that, but you fired first and I fired back.

As far as others not liking me...I'd let others speak for themselves although I know I've had a few arguments with some people, I wouldn't say half the people on here. Hardly anyone on this forum knows me in person and for those that don't like my internet persona, I could care less. I'm not trying to win the most liked forum guy award. I speak my mind, you don't have to like it.

The point I was making is that it is hypocritical to call someone out for not competing enough when you don't pay for your own contests. You haven't really even acknowledged that everyone doesn't have the financial means to compete. I wasn't really trying to hate, just bring up the irony. It's a good thing your parents help you out, mine do too in other areas.

Anyway, if you want to discuss further, PM me.

[Scott Porter]

I thought about it and I don't agree that everyone would want to "clock" me or fight if I said what I said to their faces.

Let's see...

I brought up your contest performances after you called me gay for saying you should treat people nice...twice. You're going to punch me for that?

I called you hypocritical. If the conversation happened b/t us about how come I don't compete often and you do, I would definitely bring it up that your dad pays for you. You're going to punch me for saying that?

I disagreed with the weight of the frame (as did many others) saying there is no way that it was 700. Who's going to punch me for that one?

:BB:

Alright I'm done with that back to training...

did some speed log today working up to 230 for easy fast doubles. brandon then lies through his teeth saying he did 250 for 8 fast once before. nobody remember this but him. you better hope that shoulder heals brandong, i'm coming after you on LOG!

[Brandon Campbell]

HAHA i lie? i did it the week before i hurt my shoulder/back thang!

I remember it like it was 2 weeks ago cause it was LOL. it was the day i had you weigh the 12inch log

I did a plate and a 25, for 230. For 8. Then i added a 10 and repped it for a fast 5 with a struggled 3 for 8. All true baby i will do it again when my dam thing heals! HA! I remember cause after that i tried 270 and couldnt do it cause i was so freaking tired from the last two sets! :B:

Doubles mean nothing scooter! I can do 230x2 all day long. heheheh jk

Now dont call me out on log, u know im hurting. And i love log, soo simmer down or you will force me to hurt myself more LOL! :N:

[Paul Neuhaus]

I sincerely hope you guys put all this aside and maybe even become friends when you get to WI. The part I'm most looking forward to about the weekend is hanging out with everyone and having a good time. I'd hate for the good time to be ruined by tension in the air.

Maybe I can persuade Tony into making some extra cheesecake and you guys can square off in a "grudge match" cheesecake eating contest!!!! Of course, you'll have to hug afterward!!

[CharlesDMickey]

Mick, I probaby will do PFM. I will have to fly in late Friday and out right after the contest. It still depends on how I do in Wisconsin. I'm also looking at another show before LW Nationals. So I might compete 2-3 times before LW Nationals if I'm feeling good and can get work off and have the money (that being the key thing).



I Think I'm going to fly in late Thursday. If you need a ride from the air port let me know.

Good luck in Wisconsin!

[Scott Porter]

I hope so too Paul. I'm also looking forward to hanging out with you guys. And of course the cheesecake. :D

Thanks Mick, hopefully I'll see you in St. Louis.

Brandon, I don't think you're lying, just that your memory is skewed. HA! Brad agrees. See you later today for some good conans, car deads, and stones.

[MarkSikora]

I Think I'm going to fly in late Thursday. If you need a ride from the air port let me know.

Good luck in Wisconsin!


Mick,

Quick, delete your thread!! Do not, under any circumstances, align w/ the AZ crew. They are the devil incarnate. They are permanent red squares. If you give Scott a ride, he will most likely pull out a weapon and car jack you. The violence is contagious, save yourself. :LOL:

Here is what I posted in the other life threatening thread:


Team Big Sac says: (the Youngbloods said it first):


C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now


Peace, love and happiness to all. Namaste.

see ya

Mark


Good luck in WI. If one of you guys does the 4 lb burger challenge, don't forget to send a pic in to : ratemypoo.com My personal record, after some serious beer, bourbon and steaks was a triple coiler w/ a cobra head. Alas, I have no photographic proof.

good luck men.

see ya in AZ in December maybe.

Mark

[Scott Porter]

Mark you are a funny guy. If I don't see you at PFM nationals, hopefully you guys can make it out for the AZ contest. I might have just lined up a location, I'll post more as soon as I know!

[Scott Porter]

Events today...

Conan's -> set a PR with 7 plates + 25's for 1 lap. Hard pick-up. Brandon was 1 step behind me but I went after him. I remain Conan's champion for now...

Car Deads -> worked up to 960 in plates for a few sets of 3 w/ Brandon on the back, then a set of 5 with just the 960. Brandon did the same and looked really strong. I expect him to tear it up in Wisconsin. Brad was also impressive and did 960 for 3. I tore another callous on this and became very upset.

Stones -> a quick set of 240/280/310 tacky not working....but tried 240/260/280/330 and struggled forever on the 330, forearms sliding tacky not working. Then Brandon reps the 330 for 3 and loads it like a stud. Then Brad loaded the 330 and I felt weak like a child. Of course they didn't do any other stones before it...

Conclusion...I'm dominant at conans wheel, 18" car deads hurts me and I lost a lot of strength on deadlift during time off, and I suck balls w/out working tacky.

[Brandon Campbell]

(Go back a page for the writeup of events for today)

WOo what a day of events,

Scott covered it nicely

I admit i didnt do stones in a series, i did

220x1
280x3
330x3

all to a 48inch, WE are goin KILL WISCONSION WOOOOO

[Scott Porter]

If the frame carry was a heavy tire flip, this contest would be Brandon's perfect events that he would pick. You can't ask for anymore than 4 out of 5 events being good ones, right?

[Brandon Campbell]

Yea im a little sad there is no tire flip medley in this show, I love tireflip almost as much as i Love LOG!

[Brad Schofield]

Brandon, I don't think you're lying, just that your memory is skewed. HA! Brad agrees.

dude you cant just speak for me like that! AND you forgot to mention that brandon and i loaded that 330 WITH NO TACKY...dripping sweat!...115 degrees!

[Scott Porter]

Dude you forgot..."Hot as hell".

Tacky not working and NO tacky are pretty much the same thing. :p

[Brandon Campbell]

She was a ho FOH SHO!!! :M:

Bag of sand!

[Jamie McEwan]

I hope Wisconsin has a big trunk, because Brandon's gonna put his bike in it.

[Jamie McEwan]

Haha, you caught me!

[doug Carroll]

Hey Scott or Brandon, just to make sure, your contest is going to be Nov or Dec?, not Jan, is this right? Thanks, Doug

[Brandon Campbell]

Hey Scott or Brandon, just to make sure, your contest is going to be Nov or Dec?, not Jan, is this right? Thanks, Doug


thats the plan!

[Scott Porter]

Doug, I should know more soon but Brad and I are looking at early December.

I think I might have a great venue lined up and some sponsors so it's coming together. As soon as something is set in stone Brad Schofield or I will make a post will all the details. He is promoting the show with me.

We would definitely like to see all the CA guys and girls out here again. It's growing out here and we have new guys trying it out all the time. I think we can get close to 10-15 athletes from just AZ.

[ClayEdgin]

It's not going to matter how many guys you have coming from Arizona, all the trophies are going back to New Mexico anyway! :) Actually, I'll have to check with Bakke to see if there is a warrant out for me in AZ from the last time I was there. hehe

I too was curious when you were going to do your contest. I didn't want mine to conflict with yours, but mine's going to be in late September so it should be fine. Any of you guys thinking about coming out for it?

[Brandon Campbell]

Id love to come, but school starts aug 21 so i have no idea how much free time i will have around then. hopefully enouygh to make the drive

[Brandon Campbell]

well me and Kev had a plan i do my squats before he got there then we would do some back, I was late and we arrived at the same time. So i had to do some 20rep squats

did 345-350 for 20reps. It was fantastic. Felt kinda easy next time im going go for 365.

Then did the normal back routine. Nothing special

[rjpe99]

I love 20 rep squats - yes - if it was easy you should definately put 20lbs more on at least. I puked for 5 minutes straight after I hit 405x21. Training looks good - you should do very well at big tony's!

[Scott Porter]

Looks like I caught your shoulder vaginitis Brandon.

Mine hurts like hell at lockout. I managed 253 x 5 on the axle but couldn't hold lockouts. Worked on speed with 223 for quick 3's or 4's but still hurt. :EP:

Need to rest up...will try a max log in a week, hopefully it will tell me where I should open up at in Wisconsin.

Im telling ya its the Heavy yoke we been doing, It kills shoulders!

[Paul Neuhaus]

Im telling ya its the Heavy yoke we been doing, It kills shoulders!
Yes it does! When I spent 3-4 months rehabbing my shoulder, I had to quit doing yoke that whole time.

[Brad Schofield]

i think you guys should just stop whining....especially you brandon! you say that im the biggest whiner...well look whos talkin now. :D:

[Brandon Campbell]

i think you guys should just stop whining....especially you brandon! you say that im the biggest whiner...well look whos talkin now. :D:


im not whining scott was, i was simply stating facts about the yoke and shoulders. LOL

[Brad Schofield]

ok so instead of whining ill just start stating facts. :EB: i got the chains from scott so me and lebo could use them for squats. it feels like a pr day. ill let you know how it goes.

[Scott Porter]

I wanted to post before Brandon and Brad got a chance. Today was a great day for everyone, lots of PR's. Nobody knows it yet but we are growing strong out in AZ. I'll break it down for ya...

Me-> Didn't do much events today, hit legs in the gym doing 12 sets of squats. Warmed up on yoke and then did 630 for 150 ft. moving fast. Then went up to 730 for 75 ft. with a few drops but made it for a PR. Finished with a set of 10 on the 750 tire for some conditioning and just fun! But mostly to work on my "midnight move"!

Brandon-> I think all he did today was tire flip??? Saving his shoulder which is smart so he skipped yoke and log. But then he got urged into some stones and did the 330 a few times looking strong.

Brad-> Did some strong farmers holds with 270 setting PR's. Then set a PR on 750 tire flip for 12. Did some doubles with the 310 and 330 stones and then went for a series with lighter stones. This guy is a stone freak!

Leebo-> Set a PR with 270 farmers for 40 ft. Did a set of tire flip I think and then finished with stones, loading the 310 like butter to the 50".

Juan-> Set a PR again on tire flip, this time doing the 750 for multiple sets of 5. This kid is only 16 years old and about 215 lbs. Also did 200 on the 12" log I believe.

Eric "The Jett" -> A monster of an 18 year old going into college at 6'5 and 285 he is a large sum' bitch. He did a little of everything, sets of 2-3 on the log with 230, 75 ft. farmers w/ 270 moving fast, a set of 630 yoke for 75 ft., and finished with stones nailing the 310 to the 50" on his first time. Oh the biggest thing was he did the 750 tire for 21 reps!!!

Danny -> A friend of Eric's, I'm starting to believe they are feeding the kids out in Gilbert, AZ something as everyone that comes from there is HUGE! Another 18 year old at 240 lbs. he is strong. Did 230 log his first time ever, I think he did 200 farmers for 75 ft., 450 on the yoke, a set of 12 on the 750 tire and then puked. Finished and loaded the 310 stone.

[Brandon Campbell]

it was a great day, YOU LEFT OUT SNACK TIME!!

I brought orange slices and capri suns and we enjoyed them at our designated snack time. Next week its Scotts turn to bring the snacks!


Good ole snack time, next training session 330stonex6 Its possible it is! i did 2 with no tacky then 2 again with a little bit of tacky. so if i use tacky from the get go, i can get a good 4 ;)

[rjpe99]

sounds like you guys have a lot of talented youth out there. It is great to see the sport catching on with the youngings these days. We had a 200lb 17 year old come down and train with us that hit a 300lb 12 in log and ran with a 600lb yoke - the sport is def on the way to greatness!

[Scott Porter]

Ryan, now that is a freaky kid!

Brandon, yes thanks for the awesome snacks. Next time bring some freakin rice krispie treats! Haha just kidding! The orange slices gave me extra power for the 730 yoke.

It's never my turn for snacks. I have provided the equipment for you no good rotten kids. I basically built the bridge for you one brick at a time so I deserve some orange slices NOW!!! But seriously, we need to keep up that idea.

We should start a strongman kitty. A kitty is something we use at the firestation to collect $$ for stuff like cable, food items, etc. For us it would be used for tacky, tacky removal, clips, snack time, etc. We could contribute say $2/event day and when we need to order stuff we already have the money.

Discuss.

[Brandon Campbell]

i agree, even like 50cents-1dollar a day form 8guys is enough for tacky adn de solve it, And for SNACK TIME!! I will start bringing my change that i use to go to sonic, haha it adds up fast. In 2 weeks i had 10$ in change.

ok then tis brad turn, I think he said soemthin about squeeze its next time :mag:

[Brad Schofield]

yeah dude...squeeze its! ill get the green AND red kinds. and i concur...today was awesome and there were prs out the butthole. i think the most impressive was erics 21 on the 750. damn man it was the 2nd time he has ever flipped a tire too. dan was damn impressive too. 12 on the 750 and loaded the 310 what a :F: ill be bringing granola bars and squeeze its on sunday.

[Ryan Bakke]

I am in for a sunday session. As for a treat, I will bring along my sexy self! :cool:

[MarkSikora]

This is how we work the "kitty" or who pays for what for Team Big Sac:

The old guys with jobs: read Mick and Myself, pay for almost all the crap. Then the young guys come, use the equipment, drink the water, gatorade etc (at least they don't drink our beer that often), slather on tacky like it will lift the stone for them, leave the weights lying around,think the stones get made by themselves, think that Santa Claus just leaves the new plates, bars, whatever, etc etc etc.

I am glad to see its the same all over!!

Damn young guys. :T:

see ya

Mark

[Scott Porter]

Mark, that's funny. Almost identical situation here. There have been some contributions here and there but I know I have purchased most of the tacky and tacky removal, which adds up fast!

Time for a kitty. :D

[Brandon Campbell]

did soem strict presses, and shoulder raises today, with some tricep work

BHN standing strict 135x10 185x10 225x6 then a 275 1x1 BHN jerk as a test to see if i can do them yet. Felt good nice and fast no pain!
Very light front presses due to shoulder pain 135 2x10 anything thing above 135 hurt.

None of the sets hurt my trap/rhomboid injury. I can finally do BHN jerks with heavy weight again, Still cant do any front push jerk's Without pain. Slowly but surely im getting better. If anything this injury will help me build some awsome strict press power!

Then your boaring shoulder raises and tricep work. :BB:

[Brad Schofield]

Then your boaring shoulder raises and tricep work. :BB:

meaning bodybuilding sissy crap? did you wear a speedo and stare at yourself in the mirror while you did them too? :B:

Man ya remember how we talked about a time when using the SHOOOOOOOSH form incino man would be good this was the time! while couldnt it be in person! DOH!! :N:

[Brad Schofield]

awww did brandon get a little tender? maybe you should get your levels checked. they might be a little low due to your bodybuilding. :EL:

hahah my levels, I get phone calls from scientist wanting to experiment with my bloood. I wont let them though because the scientist are funded by chuck norris! I heard his levels are low and thats what is causing global warming. ;)

[Brad Schofield]

i knew it! i also heard that norris was responsible for hurricane katrina too. :BB:

[Brandon Campbell]

also true he was on vaction and got so mad at a lobster that pinched his toe he spun kick in the ocean and totally threw the whole climate out of wack with all the water he flung into the air. His agent told him to do a public apology but it would of been bad PR for his new movie, Hurricane chuck.

[Scott Porter]

EVENTS 7.30.06

Me-> Hit the gym for some reverse band deadlifts and worked up to 585 for 3. Tried 675 but not today. Decided to do some conans since I am the champ, and did 6 plates for 3.5 laps. Finished with some stones and made the most of the tacky situation. 240/280/310 fast, then 240/280/310/330 w/ decent speed but need to get faster for Wisconsin.

Brad-> Hit 545 for a double on reverse band deads. Fooled around the rest of the day, hit a PR on conans doing 6 plates for 2 laps.

Brandon-> Did 960 on car deads plus me sitting on it for 5 reps. Did some stones again, he's a freak. I think he just worked on the 330 for reps doing a couple sets of 2-3 again.

Kevin-> He came back and learned how tacky doesn't work anymore. HA! He got really frustrated w/ the big stones, they abused him like they did to me last week. He had a huge easy 320 log press, did some conans but his calf was bothering him. Everything else he did is top secret!

Kim-> Mostly just checked us strong guys out and pictured us naked probably. Who knows why she really comes out to train. She did do 3 plates on conans fairly easy for her first time, and a set of 5 w/ the 130 stone even though she could do the 170 for 5 I'm sure. This girl is huge and could make a splash if she really wanted to and turn a few heads at nationals. She deadlifted 315 on the axle her very first time deadlifting, has done 450 on the yoke her second time, her press is fairly strong. If she actually tried she could be strong.

[ClayEdgin]

You girls definitely need me to come out there and show you what it's like to make heavy weights look easy. Still shooting for late August if all continues to go to plan. Hopefully, your stones will be cooperating by then. My tacky was disobedient today so maybe it is a conspiracy.

[Brandon Campbell]

ARG!!!! 330 stone shall die!!!

330x2 actual loads x2 missed loads- first set

330x3 missed 4th. - second set. Gettin mad at it! its all mental now, its going down liek donkey kong. GRRRRR

I miss log :(

[Scott Porter]

Sounds good Clay. Just give me a little advanced warning so I can tell you when we're training. Also, August 19th is the contest so maybe after that??

[Brad Schofield]

Brad-> Hit 545 for a double on reverse band deads. Fooled around the rest of the day, hit a PR on conans doing 6 plates for 2 laps.


actually scott it was 6 plates and a 5 on each side. why do you always have to be discrediting everyones lifts? :LOL:

[Scott Porter]

I discredited you a measly 10 lbs get over it. 5 plates + 2 quarters is the same as doing 6 plates plus a 5 on each side!

And shut up! I can beat you at every event! You wanna fight me?

:LOL:

[Brad Schofield]

dude...ive been giving you some rep points, BUT THATS IT!!! NO MORE!!!

[ClayEdgin]

Good deal Scott. It may be the 26th or even the first weekend in Sept. That might give me enough time to get strong enough to back up my mouth! hahaha

[Ryan Bakke]

stupid scott, just cuz your the conans champion you have to make fun of everyone else! next time i see you i am going to OC spray your eyes and then beat you with my baton! :EP:

[Scott Porter]

Yo Ryan, I didn't put your training in here, figured you would add it into your log. Good having you out here! Next Sunday is pretty much the same stuff. I'm doing Car Deads, Yoke, and Stones in that order. This time we'll start at 5pm.

[Eric Jett]

I seem to remember doing the 750 tire for 22 reps in order to beat Brandon's PR.

Oh, and I'm not quite 18 yet. Will be in just under two weeks, though.




Also, since everybody else has their PRs, might as well add mine to the list.

PLing squat- Meet: 550 Gym: 600
PLing bench- Meet: 315 Gym: 350
PLing deadlift- Meet: 510 Gym: 495

Strongman PRs:
750 tire for 22
270 farmer's for 75
630 yoke for 75
233x4 axle
230x3 log
310x2x1 stone

[Brad Schofield]

so just because youre a freak of nature and that you have trained a couple times you think youre a member of the az crew huh? just playin son, your hard work has for sure qualified you. you gotta do a comp though. and leave those silly plifting records outta here. they have no bearing. you are one strong and gifted kid eric. you will go far in this sport if you decide to stick with it, belie dat.

[Scott Porter]

Brad is right. Leave those powerlifting numbers out! HA!

I have a feeling you will be catching up to me in strength very soon. Fortunately for me, you are about 50 lbs. heavier.

[Lee Horton]

and 110lbs heavier than me. damn bicep....

[Eric Jett]

110 pounds, baloney. I'm only...100 pounds more. 275, not 285.

[Lee Horton]

110 pounds, baloney. I'm only...100 pounds more. 275, not 285.

lol...let me redo the math...275-160=115lbs more than me!!!

[Scott Porter]

Contest approaching quickly...only one more heavy event day left!

EVENTS 8.2.06

Me-> Hit the gym for some box squats w/ bands. Did a lot of speed doubles with 315 and averages (220 top / 70 bottom) then worked up to 405 for a single. Finished with some GHR's 4 sets of 8. Then I talked to a MILF who burns a hole through me everytime I'm there, but probably b/c we look like idiots bringing in logs and crap every workout.

Me-> Farmers 290 x 75 ft. fast. Then 300 x 75 ft. fast. Then missed 340 on the pick. Did a set or two of drags.

Brad-> Same as me in the gym, I think he hit 315 for a single w/ bands on the box squat. Farmers 250 x ? Then worked on grip holds with 250.

Brandon-> Ran his mouth about how he could do 290. Then took it for about 10 ft. He did look fast with 250 though. Did some husafell carries for 200 ft. or so.

Eric "the Jett"-> Attempted a PR on farmers with 290 and missed the pick. Then refocused and came back minutes later and took it about 20 ft. The teenage phenom then tried a PR on log w/ 260. Clearly this guy isn't afraid of heavy weights. Also did husafell and a few sets of drags. I think he does more sets than anyone. Good job Jett!

Juan-> 16 years old and sets a big PR w/ 245 farmers for 75 ft. w/ decent speed. Ridiculous. Somewhere Brad weeps.

Leebo-> Did 250 farmers a few times but never made the distance. Finished with some drags as well.

Kim-> Handled 155 farmers nicely w/ good speed for 150 ft., couple drops. Then PR'd w/ 175 for about 40 ft.

[Brandon Campbell]

haha i didnt run my mouth how i could do 290 i just said I do 290, and its true i did 290 before utah for liek 50feet. silly scott he makes our training days sound soooo competative lol

Next time we do farmers im going 75feet with 290 and im goin SCREAM " I DO 290, I DO 290!!!!!!"

:B:

[Eric Jett]

I'll believe that when I hear it, Brandon.

[Scott Porter]

Yeah I'm just busting your balls and getting you motivated for Wisconsin. Too bad it's not a race format where you get to go head to head with me. That's when you're on your game!

[Brandon Campbell]

I'll believe that when I hear it, Brandon.


hear what the farmers hitting the ground???? lol

WISCONSIN WILL BE DOMINATED BY Az STRONGMAN!

Scott and I are ready to bring the A GAME!

[Scott Porter]

Did some pressing and back work today. Pretty good workout overall.

The good news is my log clean & press was feeling good. The bad news is the Wisconsin contest is a max. The good news is I nearly set a PR on axle clean & press. The bad news is I think I bruised my chest cavity doing it. The good news is...oh wait that's it.

Brad also set a PR on axle clean & press w/ 218, but basically did 2 reps since he had the first one nearly locked out and brought it back down. I think he's good for another 10 lbs.

[CharlesDMickey]

Hey Scott, what are pressing these days?

I need to know what I must beat at the PFM.

[Eric Jett]

Scott, I remember overhearing you and Brad discussing Olympic lifting shoes. Found a website that has them for sale for pretty cheap. A few are on clearance, but they are all my size, I think.

http://www.dynamic-eleiko.com/index.html

[Brad Schofield]

thanks eric but we're one step ahead of ya. we just ordered them. and can you guess where we ordered them? you get 3 guesses but the first 2 dont count.

[Eric Jett]

OK, cool. I'm gonna order some of the clearance, they are just my size, like 14.5 or 13.5 would work well for me, I think. I'm gonna run by Payless or something to get an accurate idea on shoe size, then I might order.

Olympic lifting shoes first, then Rehbands.

[Scott Porter]

I just ordered them on Thursday. I got 11.5 which is .5 smaller than my athletic shoes. I should have them early next week.

[Scott Porter]

Hey Scott, what are pressing these days?

Fat chance OLD MAN!! :LOL:

I'm not pressing enough that's what I'm pressing. :D

If I do PFM in September, my goal is a 300 max axle clean & press.

[CharlesDMickey]

"Old Man"??? I'm hurt..... ;)

If you hit 300 I think that will be a win. I should be in the high 2's but I doubt 300. I've done 305 taking it out of the rack but C&P is a whole other issue.

[Eric Jett]

Anything going down for tomorrow? Maybe just a small workout? I know Brandon and Scott won't be going, but what's up?

[Brad Schofield]

i will be there. i think kevin and lebo as well.

[Brandon Campbell]

im there for moral support! maybe i will bring soem orange slices, who knows!

[Scott Porter]

4pm guys. Might be a new girl coming to try it out I met at the gym so there's some incentive for you guys to come.

[Brandon Campbell]

mmmm new woman

[Eric Jett]

mmmm new woman
Fresh meat...

[Brandon Campbell]

WOOOO WEEEK OF REST TILL Wisconsin! i love the week off before a contest it feels sooooo goooood.


:M:

[Eric Jett]

Brandon has been training so hard for this contest. We had a conversation not to long ago about it and strongman in general.

Brandon: I love yoke. I love...farmer's.
Me: Brandon, are you just looking at training implements and saying you love them?
Brandon: I love log.
Me: Do you really love the log or are you just saying that because you saw it?
Brandon: (exasperated) I love log!

I remember that conversation as true today as it was then. lol

[Scott Porter]

LOUD NOISES!

I have been training hard, but not nearly like the aforementioned Brandon Campbell has. He trains so hard he is forced to take 15 minute rests/naps laying down on hot cement in between heavy sets. He says it makes him better in contests.

Like Brandon, I am also enjoying my rest week. Mine started last Wednesday though so I'll have had 10 days off. Did some cardio and stretching a few times but that's about it. Now just need to get some sleep!
