So I gave it another go and it slammed for an easy single. **After I hit 350, which was a goal of mine before finishing college here, my heart rate was north of 180 BPM!!! I almost puked.

Surprised myself with the 305 Axle, matches my PR. I was very close to Power Cleaning the 285 as was my intention...very close. My double overhand grip is getting stronger I think. I am liking how the attention to the upper back feels and need to keep that going. Squats didn't really happen today...man I suck at a lot of the gym lifts...

sixlitre Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Congrats on the engagement Matt! Have you talked about a wedding date yet? I always enjoy reading your blog, its colorful (not the word I'm looking for, but once I think of it I'll probably forget to edit). Anyways, some decent numbers your putting up. Whats up with the trap bar deads? Jeesh, I pulled 500 the other day for a double without warming up. Just flipping you some crap. We did it at the end of Saturday's workout. Keep up the good work. By the way, we have finally finished moving! The power shed is #3 on my list of things to do. Speaking of #3, a CCS with your 3? Thats awesome considering you hardly ever train grippers! I'll have to step up my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Brouse Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Strongest Man on Grand - 2nd Place 265lbs. I was planning on coming away with a sweet ass trophy but the day was closer than expected especially after Rodney didnt make weihgt and found himself in the 265s. All in all I am pretty happy with how things ended up. Was good having Paul out for the weekend. Weighed in with my steet clothes on at 268lbs. Made 264 without. MN Stone Shield Carry - 435lbs. 209' 8" Was planning on taking down Paul and Danno but my grip slipped at about 150 and couldnt get a good one after that...ah well. Odd Object Press Medley 3 Objects I won this event (my 2nd event win) but couldn't press the 240 keg, which I have done... Trap Bar Deadlift - 615 3 reps Lifetime PR, but still lousy strength. 3 way tie for 1st before this, dropped to third here. Tire Flip - Load Medley 30 some seconds...Rodney edged me out and secured his win barring injury. Bumped myself to 2nd (4 points behind). Arm over arm truck pull - ~ 14000 maybe 24.07. 1st place, my third event win ever. Moved to acloser2nd plce, but Rodney would have had to get last for me to win. He didn't.
