Hey bud! I started training for strongman at 185 lbs in Feb. of 2007. With hard training and eating whatever i could and as much as i could, i now weigh 220 and it's with no steroids. Cool. Keep training hard but maybe with a little less weight and more reps to pound in the technique into your head. It also helps you to get wickedly strong over a longer period of time. Also try and find others to train with. Good luck...your definately strong.
Damn. You put on 35lbs in ~9 months? I made some pretty good bodyweight gains too, just not as quickly. I went from 125lbs in 2003 to 175lbs in 2007, after doing a combination of powerlifting and strongman.
do not know much about the technique but think it might be easier to deadlift to lap position, then do what you did.
question: for your upcoming strongman contest is a a 1-RM event or are they gonna make you do a set weight (depending on class) for reps? also do they let you push press it (assuming its a log clean and press).
No, I'm doing the log clean the way it should be done.
The log for the show that I'm probably doing is going to be 175lbs for reps, not a 1RM event. Yes, you can do strict press, push press, power jerk, or split jerk. It doesn't matter which technique you use, as long as it's locked out overhead.
