    I recieved my new steel log today. Looking forward to starting my training with it, seeing how that is my worst event. Deadlifts are going good this week, still lower than I like but I am working on it. My neighbors are still trying to adjust to my weird training. Just yesterday I was doing my rock carry around the yard and my neighbor stopped me and asked if I needed help moving my stone. HAHA. i politely explained to him that I was just training. I could see it in his face that he was puzzled but I just laughed and continued.

• Training this week

  • From: strickland212
  • Description:

    Thanks to work this week i haven't been able to train as much as i would like to. Once christmas rolls around, i'll be doing more strength training since competition is my ultimate goal.

    11/10/08- Standing press + push press: 5-5-5 3-3; 5min of "cindy"

    loads: 135-145-145(4) Still a lot of shoulder pain due to injury; push-press 145-165 way too easy should have done more heavier set

    For cindy: 5 Pullups- 10 pushups- 15 airsquats- 5 rds as rx'd

     

    11/11/08- As many rounds as possible in 20min of:

    400m run

    135lb deadlift (rx'd was half body weight)

    10 box jumps

    Did almost 5 rounds in 15 min but fell onto my shin and smashed it on the box. Stopped because of the enourmous swelling.

     

    11/14/08- Back squat 5x5, will post loads later, i haven't done back squats in a while and will be learning mark ripptoe's squats from his training books.

  • From: MSS_Admin
  • Description:

    Strongmen - It was pointed out on the message board that blogs have taken the place of the training journals on the old site. That was a great bit of advice. See Jeremy Slusher's blog to see how he's doing this now.

  • Description:

    Strongmen/Strongwomen,

    How cool is this? Want to embed a YouTube video into a Blog? Click on the "Insert or Upload Media" button in the lower right corner of the window while creating your posts. Then click on the "External Media" tab and browse for your favorite video. When you find it, click on the "Insert" button. It's that easy.

     Below I embedded a video I uploaded, after logging into my MSS account. This way I can embed videos & photos I have uploaded as a member of MSS. Click on the "Insert or Upload Media" button in the lower right corner of the window while creating your posts. Then select either a photo or video from your list(s) on the appropriate tabs. If you know a little HTML....you can pretty up the text a little more.

• How Can I Promote My Club?

  • From: MSS_Admin
  • Description:

    How Can I Promote My Club?

    Answer: You can request a Group be created by the MSS Admin. Go to the Groups link and Click on Request a Group . This way members of MSS can join your Club's Group and when they upload Photos or Videos, select the Group, and those files will be associated with your Group. You can then request a Custom Feed be created so you may copy and paste a Video Player or Photo Slideshow onto your web site/page.

    For more info on this see the WOW!!! link.

• Where's My Old Stuff?

  • From: MSS_Admin
  • Description:

    Ok...so where's your old stuff?

    Answer: We decided rather than adding to the old site (primarily the strongman & club profiles ), that we needed to replace them . The new way is just quite simply, much better & faster, & requires less maintenance. You can also delete your old photos or videos if you choose. And integrating the old with the new would have taken too long....already took long enough.

    The new way of uploading photos/videos is more enhanced, such as uploading multiple files simultaneously and no need for waiting for approvals .

    Sorry for the inconvenience,

    MSS

    1. Faster & Easier photo/video uploads & immediate approval process (Far Less Limitations!)
    2. Blogs & Message Boards
    3. Better Methods of Communicating with your fellow Strongmen/Strongwomen ( Chat, Inner Web Site Messaging, Message Boards, Blogs, etc.)
    4. Ability to Share Videos/Photos/etc. on Your Web Sites/Pages
    5. Custom Video Players & Photo Slide Shows for Your Web Site/Pages ( see WOW!!! Link)
