Thanks to the tremendous generosity of The Iron Den and support of our faithful members, I have been blessed with the opportunity of competing at World's Strongest Woman, under 75 kg (165 lbs) this October in Ayrshire, Scotland. I need to cut weight to 170ish, I am at around 195 after having competed with the novice lightweight men at the NAS Parker Days Strongman contest this past weekend, June 9, in Parker, CO. My weigh in this morning showed me at 198.
WSW Events -
1. 18" deadlift, last woman standing. Chalk, belts, wraps ok. No straps or suits/briefs.
Goal – 440 lbs or more.
2. Dumbbell press, last woman standing (dumbbells will go up 2.5kgs at a time).
Goal is as much as 100 lbs.
3. Sleigh push 50 ft, then sleigh drag 50 ft, weight will be approx 220 lbs, for time.
Goal is 20 seconds or less.
4. Sandbag carry, weight approx 165 lbs for distance.
Goal is 400 or more feet.
5. Farmers walks 155 lbs, 50 ft, then 200 lbs back, 50 ft.
Goal is 20 seconds or less for the entire event.
The time for all disciplines will be 75 seconds.
Training Methodology will be progressive overload for the events based on percentages, 5/3/1 programming for the 18 inch DL, DB press, and assistance lifts. I am starting with 75% of the weight for the contest on the sled push/pull and sandbag events. My perceived 1RM on the DB is about 70 lbs right now. 1RM on the DL is about 400 lbs. I have already done both weights on the farmer's may load the handles to 175 to start, walk them 50 ft., set them down, pick them up again and walk them back. Will work up to 200 lbs and walk them up and back.
Parker Days was a little tough on this old goat, I got a friction burn on the top of my traps from the 550 yoke, and a big bruise/scratches on my right calf from the 215 stone. I took two days off after the contest, then did some lifting yesterday. Trained prowler push/drag, sandbag carry, tire flips, and abs today. Stretched after training.
