Coach's Training Monday 5/15

Hi Everyone,

Ok, here is my Monday night training.

Sitting behind the neck Shoulder Press- 6 sets x 5 reps. I worked up to 165 x5. My right shoulder was bothering me, so that pissed me off.  So, I sucked it up and pushed through.

Push Jerks- 6x3  I worked up to 185 x 3. Shoulder still bothered me, but you just got to push through sometimes.

Banded Side laterals- 3x15

Abs- Bent Knee Sit Ups- 50, Denise Austin Hip Ups- 50

Gary Taylor 1993 World's Strongest Man

My strongman training is based off of Gary's 1994 training. Gary is a bad ass. He is one of only a few men to ever beat Magnus Ver Magnusson who won 4 WSM titles. Gary did a record 462 lbs Push Press in the 1995 WSM contest. He also won a silver medal in the Snatch at the 1984 Olympic's.

Here is a video of Gary's WSM win in 1993: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI_U_AIULH0

Enjoy!

Coach's training Tuesday

Leg press on a vertical leg press machine. If you don't have one do single leg presses on a standard leg press machine.  I do 6x10 add weight each set the last set should be a ball buster.

Side Step Ups- Use a box or bench that when you step up your thigh is parallel with the floor. I did 3x10 with 40 lbs db's. Step up on the box side ways and then step over and then back up. That is one rep.

Conventional Rack Pulls- (the bar is 2-3 inches below your knees) 6-7x3 the last set should be all you can do.

Done. No Abs!
