I'm training for a NAS strongman contest in December with the following events:
1. 225 lb atlas stone loads to 48" platform for reps in 60 seconds (must unload each one yourself)
2. 405 lb squats down to a box for reps in 60 seconds
3. 445 lb deadlift for reps in 60 seconds
4. log press for 1RM
5. 275 lb farmer's hold for time
I'll be competing at LW (under 231) and training natty. It should be a pretty big event with solid competition since everyone that competes had to qualify. There may be around 12-15 LW.
Contest History: I've done two, one in July and one in August.
Current BW: 217.0
As for strongman equipment, most of my log pressing will be done on a wooden log with a 12 in diameter. Tire flips will be with a ~540 lb tire.
Sunday:
Sun.
I'll generally only include working sets and not warmups.
log clean and press (each rep)
225 -4 +1 clean
225 - 4
atlas stone loads to ~48'' in 90s - alternating between 185 and 230 stones
10 loads
- failed on a 230 in there so I had 6 with the 185 and 4 with the 230.
Farmer's walk - had to abort early with sharp lower back pain and call it a day.
