mrbear666 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 good work on the deads mate! how many did you squat 115? thats a good weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 just one dude, 5 reps at 105 Kg 8 reps at 95 Kg, but I don't feel like a go low enough, I'm hoping that the deadlifting will help with the squats and getting them proper ass to grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Deadlifts have a carry over to your squatting, just be careful going really heavy if you haven't squatted in a while mate. Strongman and watching WSM sure does fire you up! There's a guy on YouTube that has most of the competitions uploaded from each year, most of them are about 50mins long and awesome to watch so check them out! I've started to try and figure out how to do some of that stuff in the gym, I'll regularly do 80-100m 'Farmers Walks' using dumbbells (bloody tough)! Plus 1 x arm dumbbell shoulder presses are great if you do a continual set with 3 or 4 dumbbells pyramidding up in weight. BRUTAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 yeah I wont go nuts and I'll have my mate training with me to spot, I used to love chewys log with all the strong man stuff shame he's gone now :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegan_rossco Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Was just about to say about those guys too, especially veggiesasquatch, I dont know what happened to chewy but he's stopped posting in veganfitness.net too so it isn't just us he's left last I saw was that he had a lot of strong man comps going on plus he had a new girlfriend and job so I suppose he's just to busy to post :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbear666 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 sounds good mate! 170 deadlift will be impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 I know it's ambitious but I would rather set targets too high than too low, don't wanna get complacent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 ill reckon you can do it, just look after yourself so you dont get any injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Those are good numbers, what time frame does that give you? Just as a guideline, it took me 3 months to go from a 140 max DL to 180kg. If you're looking at say 120kg to 170 (that's a 10kg gain on what I did but working with slightly less weight), I'd be looking at probably at least 4 months if you're approaching the training in a sensible way. So saying that, I think you could probably aim for around a 10kg improvement each month, at least for the first few months mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well I have until may when my course finishes so 6 months total! I'm pretty confident with the DLs but unsure on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 6 months? Easy, stacks of time mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 you reckon? well we'll see, like I said I'm very confident I'll get the dead lifts I need but not sure about bench, it's weird I do a lot of assistance for bench and not a lot for dls yet my dls are constantly getting better and my bench is a marathon..
