Saturday the wife & I drove up to Chicago for America’s Strongest Middleweight Man & Woman. They were holding the IFBB Wings of Strength Chicago Pro directly across from us in the venue, so I got to watch the open men’s finals as well.
Wife judged and I loaded/helped for the show. From about 9am to 5pm I was loaded plates, tightening clamps, moving equipment off and on the field, re-setting implements, dragging stallmats, loading stones & hummer tires into the trailer. When you are done with something like that, it feels like you competed yourself! I can only imagine my total tonnage for the day.
We stayed at her coach’s house Saturday night, & Sunday we all went to train at a local garage gym because they have a circus dumbbell more like what my wife will be competing on in 4 weeks. With all of the back, core & leg work I got from Saturday, I just needed to knock out my snatchgrip pulls to round out the week.
There were some really monster lifts. 180lb women got up to 300/hand at the end of max Farmer’s Walk, & the 231lb men 430!
