Yeah, those baby jumps can sap your strength for a 1 rep max effort. I have noticed that myself. Most of the time I do better with a few medium weight sets and then one big jump at the end.

Good log bud. Have you noticed bigger muscles or any body recomp since doing the bodybuilding work?

I've had a couple of injuries and have been toying with more body building but it's toughing going whole hog. I know doing it right will result in greater strength over time tho (gotta mix it up).
 
Was just going to ask the same thing. Going from strongman to bodybuilder isn't real hard, the only real difference is the rep counts. I noticed some of your workouts are in the 3-5 rep range, is that because of your injury or because that's what you;ve always done? I wouldn't do less than 8 reps on anything if you are trying to cut up, if you can't get 8 on something then lower the weight a bit. 8-12 is ideal. Looking good though and some good weight movement
 
Funny you guys brought this up. Went to a graduation party this weekend and got comments on how I look bigger and more musclar though this is the weakest I've been in 15 years. Sometimes my reps will be low as I want to get back some of the strength I've lost while training around injuries now. Will be throwing some strongman stuff in here now again.
