World Breaker Brett: Having fun

Nope, Benni’s 1015 DL was just pure B-Power and a Belt.

1/17/19- Deadlifts and Squats
Deadlift-
135lbs/62kg x5
225lbs/102kg x5
315lbs/142kg x3x1 (These moved FAST, so I did a few singles to see if it was a fluke, not a fluke)
365lbs/165kg x1 (Also moved pretty fast)
395lbs/179kg x1 (Didn’t move particularly fast but felt smooth as butter)
425lbs/192kg x2x1 (HELL YEAH Rick Flair WOOOO)

So 425lbs/192kg was my old max, first rep flew faster than 395lbs/179kg, was so shocked that I didn’t even weigh the fact that I could’ve just hit a double. My program called for 2 singles or a double so I just pulled it again, felt very smooth. Thought about a 3rd single but form and speed went so well on the first two I decided to leave it there. So I guess I could call this a PR in a sense

Paused Squats- (Beltless)
Bar x10

You will be set for strongman stuff whenever you decide to compete man. I don’t know anyone as young as you that is as strong as you. I’m sure that there are 15 year olds as strong as you, but in another year, you’ll be a junior in high school and pulling 500+ pounds. Insane.

Thanks brother, I’ve never met a person in general with as much drive and work ethic as you man. You’re probably one of the mentally strongest people I’ve ever come to know. Keep chugging along bro.

1/23/19- Squats & Yoke
SSB Squats (FML these did not go well)
Bar x10
155lbs/70kg x5
205lbs/93kg x5
255lbs/115kg x5
275lbs/124kg x5
295lbs/133kg x5 (PR)
315lbs/142kg x3 (Failed 4th rep, Still a PR)
Got a little bit too cocky as to where I’d be able to squat with the SSB. Set it about 10lbs lower than my barbell squat because that’s about where it sat last time I used it. Boy was I wrong. 4th rep on for 315 folded me like a piece of paper, gonna drop my TM about 10-20lbs next workout)

Yoke Walks- 70ft/21m, Drop it and take it back
Empty Yoke- x140ft/42m
365lbs/165kg- x140ft/42m
545lbs/247kg- x140ft/42m (Misloaded this horridly, not using the yoke I’m used to using lol)
455lbs/206kg x3x140ft/42m (Times for each round: x22sec, x23sec, x18sec)
(Kinda fucked the rest of my runs and body with that 545lbs/247kg Yoke walk. It felt really heavy and I just chalked it up to being tired after the squats. Not terribly disappointed with the speed runs after though.)

  • Reverse Hypers- x2x15 SS W/Deficit Bulgarian Split Squats- 35lbs/15kg x2x15

Notes: Tried my stagger start that I haven’t done in forever on the last round of yoke and it made around a 5sec difference, gonna try to keep that up all the way up to nationals. Core is toast after the SSB squats too. Also high distance yoke is not as fun as I remember.
Was kinda underfed today seeing as instead of grabbing my beef and pasta out of the fridge this morning I grabbed my container full of the rest of my meats for lunches. So I ate what I reckoned to be a half pound of beef + an apple and a banana.

Is a sub 19sec time for a 120ft Yoke carry (60ft down 60ft back) good? What’s the best times you’ve seen for a yoke event of that caliber?

8-9 seconds for 50’ tends to be my metric of good. Haven’t seen 60 down and back before.

1 Like

that should be a pretty good time, depending on weight.

A few months ago, we had a 500 lbs 50 ft down and 50 ft back yoke in the LW class at Texas Strongest. I believe 13 seconds won, 15 seconds for 2nd, a couple guys were right at 19, and the rest of the field was in the 20’s. The MW class had a 600 lbs yoke, and nobody beat 19 seconds. So it depends.

Why can’t you post it? I know its out of respect but posting one speed session doesn’t give away the whole program.

While yes it wouldn’t give away the entire program it’s just something I don’t feel 100% comfortable doing so.

Noticing a slight strain/tweak in my upper back. Feels like a solid knot in there with some tenderness and swelling to accommodate. Not too painful, working the shit out of it with some golf balls and a hand held massage thing.
Only painful ROM is in the rowing type fashion, It’s my lower trap or rhomboid that’s taken the hit and I suspect my rows did it yesterday. Wasn’t any immediate pain from my workout yesterday but I recall letting my shoulder blades get a little too loose on my rows a few times.
Hopefully it can stand up to some log and pull-ups tomorrow.

Little strain is virtually gone from yesterday. Spent about an hour working with the golf balls and massage thing and it worked out great!
