Just wanted to bump this back to the top and see how Andy was doing with his training. This should prove to be a damn good time.
Training has been going well. I got to train events again with the Baton Rouge guys a couple of weeks ago. I worked on the carry/drag medley which was a 550 swinging yoke, 280/hand farmers, and the 550 chain drag. I've done all of these things before, but this was the first time I'd put them all together back to back. I was pretty quick, but got ran out of gas on the chain. The guys were telling me that what we'll see in TX won't be as hard as what we've been training, so we'll see. I was able to load the 410 stone to 54", but it took me several tries to lap it. I did some speed work with the lighter stones and worked on loading them without lapping. We spent some time playing with an Inch Dumbbell replica. None of us could pick it up one handed, but my brother and I were both able to press it overhead (2 handed clean, 1 handed press) with both hands.
Training in the gym has been pretty good too. My strength is up in just about everything, though I had a disappointing deadlift session yesterday. Work has been crazy this week, and I haven't gotten much sleep. I also didn't eat enough yesterday, so I'm pretty sure this is what got me.
As for the competition, I feel good about the overhead press, and pretty good about the stones. I'm not worried about the weights of the stones, but I've never loaded a series, and it'll be at the end of the day, so I don't know how this will affect me. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape, so the medley should go well, as long as I don't crash on the sled pull. Everyone says the truck pull is ridiculously heavy, so we'll see how that goes, and I've never done a Conan's Wheel.
Overall I feel good. However, having never done something like this I don't know what "ready" feels like. I know I've been training hard, so we'll see how it goes. Today will be my last heavy training day before the competition, so I'll have a full week of light recovery which should do me good.
Is your brother competing too?
Not in this one. He may come to watch, though. He'll be competing in the two Baton Rouge events and maybe in Georgia later.Quote:

I think Karl is going to meet up with us at some point on Sat.
I went ahead and ordered a pallet of keystone 30 packs, so i think we should be set at least for most of sat.
BTW, I weighed in at a svelte 309 this morning, so you skinny folks better watch out...I'm gonna eat you!
