			<title>The road to 700 deadlift.</title>
			<link>http://ilstrongman.forumotion.net/training-journals-f3/the-road-to-700-deadlift-t71.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Chris Hickson</dc:creator>
			<description>Hi guys, Hickson here, basketball tryouts are gooing on now I am struggling to maintain my 250lbs Bodyweight. The 700 deadlift is a real major goal of mine, and hopefully can accomplish within the future. My bodyfat is at a near all-time low which is good, and another major goal of mine is to avoid maxing out often, which is my bad habit. ok 

was sore on traps, abs, tris today so kept it light

lil jump rope

then

cleans

135x4x4



done, nothing impressive yet! </description>

			<description>I have not posted in awhile partly because of being really busy and then also because I have not been training that consistantly.  Rugby just got over and we had an ok season.  I trained good throughout the first month of the season but started getting pretty banged up lifting heavy along with rugby.  So for the last couple months I have just lifted for fun.  Now I started back training for a couple different things.

			<description><![CDATA[Hey guys,
<br />

<br />
I'm looking to get some feedback from you guys on anything you may wish to say about the current state of Strongman, NAS, or even what I'm doing.
<br />
What you like, what you don't.
<br />
Maybe suggestions on how to improve the sport, NAS or Illinois.
<br />
This is not a NAS forum. Feel free to say whatever you like.
<br />

<br />
Thanks,
<br />
Tony]]></description>

Just a little background:

Been training for 20 years (sheesh...). Started strongman in 96'. Joined NASS in 2000 and became the NAS Inc. IL Chairman in 2001. 

Have been bit by the injury bug the last couple years. Not so much from training, more from job related issues.

			<description>Have been working on the 2010 season for Illinois. Pretty much the same format as 09 in terms of the contests (January Challenge, March Challenge, May Challenge, ILSM, September Challenge and Illinois Hercules). Same format for the records and earning points towards the series, etc...



Some new items:

Possibly one or two silver meets geared more towards max events. The contest format for these are:

2 max events only

Scores are taken from total poundage, not points (similar to powerlifting)

We were doing log warm ups in contest area. I was having a hell of a

			<description>I have been trying to eat healthier.  I have had a difficult time with a few weigh ins during the past.  This past six months, I have eaten a high protein diet and have been happy with the fat loss but have felt like shit.  Weigh ins have been no problem.  I weighed 197 at Chicago.  Looking at pictures of CSM, I think I lost some lean mass in the process.



I have eaten some pasta, etc. the past few days.  Man, can I tell a difference.  My mood is actually different.

			<title>Selling yoke and farmers.</title>
			<link>http://ilstrongman.forumotion.net/buy-sell-trade-f6/selling-yoke-and-farmers-t198.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Alex Apostol</dc:creator>
			<description>I am selling my yoke and farmers.  I acquired both of these through PitBull in 2006.



The reason I'm selling is because:



1.  I don't have enough weight at my house to optimally use them.

2.  Bringing all of my plates upstairs and outside to use is a huge pain.

3.  I don't train these every week.

4.  I'd rather just train these with a group of people occasionally.



The farmers are the long kind.



Yoke:

Last I knew Poundstone fell to Fourth... I had high hopes for Derek, I do know came in heavier than usual, so maybe that had something to do with it.

This week I plan on meeting with Cleary, a company that deals with outbuildings. Hopefully, I'll be able to find out more info on just how much $$ it will cost to build the new training facility. Originally had thought about just building the place the myself however I want to find out what they'll charge first.

			<description>I decided to start posting my log on here since I am pretty disappointed in Marunde.  I love posting my log, but it just seems like Marunde is going down hill.  Too many idiots on there and I never get any input so it is pointless.  Today is my last rugby game and then starting Monday I have a quick prep for Kurt's show in MI.  I have not prepped for it at all but it should be fun competing with spy.  After that I will be working on my weaknesses with some different goals in mind.
