Hello all! New guy here, I've been lurking for a little while and thought it would be a great place to keep a log. Having grown up in the highlands/Moray Firth area I have always said I'd like to do a highland games comp and after going to the Lonach games a few months back I decided that I would try to do my first one next summer. The Lonach games had a 18-25 age category which would suit me, so this is my current plan. My best lifts to date are: Power clean - 130kg (286lbs) Olympic squat - 180kg (397lbs) Front squat - 150kg (331lbs) Bench press - 120kg (265lbs) OHP - 92.5kg (204lbs) I weigh 92.5kg (204lbs) which I am trying to increase. I do not have any throwing experience but I plan to join an athletics club shortly to learn the hammer throw as ive always wanted to do this event and i think it will act as a good introduction to throwing and set me up for future highland games comps. I've not completely worked out how im going to do my heavy events training as I dont have much equipment other than a few shots I use for overhead backwards throws, so I will need to sort this out! I am currently recovering from a knee injury which has prevented squatting for many, many months so im just working my way back up. I also broke my elbow many years ago throwing javelin so that injury sometimes rears its head and i have a dodgey shoulder, haha. I hope this may be of interest to some and I look forward to learning from you all here.

Here is my last training session: Powerclean 60kgx5 60kgx5 80kgx5 90kgx5 95kgx5 100kgx5 110kgx5 - I think this is a PR, got a video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aTh8Y60q70&feature=g-upl" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aTh8...&feature=g-upl 115kgx3 - going to try and hit this for 5 next time round. Squat 60kgx5 80kgx5 90kgx5 100kgx5 110kgx5 120kgx5 130kgx3 - knee feeling a bit funny so i stopped here + TKE's OHP Bar x lots 40kgx5 50kgx5 55kgx5 60kgx5 65kgx5 70kgx4 I don't see many people posting in kg's but im not sure I can be bothered posting in the imperial system too. Because I have to travel quite far to a facility that has platforms and bumper plates I often train in my local "health club" too which is usually accessory and hypertrophy stuff. This is exactly what was done at the weekend after the above session, I just did some accessory lower back, abs, RC and upper back work.

Hi Craig, just been watching the vids on your website! Amazing! As I had to work a little late last night I had to train at my local gym, which means accessory/pre-hab/bbing type stuff Chins x5 x5 x5 +5kgx5 +10kgx5 +15kgx5 +20kgx5 +25kgx5 +10kgx6 +10kgx6 +10kgx6 Row (machine) 80kgx10 90kgx10 95kgx10 105kgx10 109kgx15 - possibly a bit too much body language used on this set + 3 sets of face pulls, 3 sets of pull downs, 3 sets of external rotations and a huge number of band pull aparts Also, here is a picture I took from the Lonach games: http://postimage.org/image/mvu89uacj/" rel="nofollow - http://postimage.org/image/mvu89uacj/ perhaps you guys know some of these competitors, perhaps you are one of these competitors!? I think there were several from BC, Canada and I think the guy with those ENORMOUS calf's is Polish. |
