Whats up everyone, im starting my log for training for the North American Strongman 'NJ's Strongest Man' Competition the end of May.
I am currently finishing up my training in the police academy so i've had time to get back in the saddle and get 2-3 training sessions in a week, so i wanted to start keeping track.
The event is May 30th in Atlantic City.
The events are
- Axle-Log-Keg-Dumbell overhead press medley
- farmers walk
- stone carry
- max log press
- stone for reps
I will be using a template based off the Westside for Strongman with some tweaks due to the academy training i'm doing currently. my bodyweight now is about 208. the contest weight class is 231lbs and under so i have some room to grow.
