Crossfit vs Strongman

Hi, today we are going to show you a training session with our young strongman, who I want to introduce to you.

Zbynek is only 22 years old. He trains at our gym, he has two competitions under his belt, where he finished in fourth place. He stands out among the competitors with his physique.
At the end of the article there is an interview where you can find out more information.

He has entered the Czech strenghtwars, which come from the swaglift workshop. After the competitions in Karlovy Vary, he got a call that they were taking him.

He was most happy and I wish him the best. He learned the competition disciplines a few days before and not all of them yet.

They knew about the front squat and the deadlift. Here you can watch a video of the training that was 6 days before the rolls.

We were training for strength endurance. Deadlifts classic and sumo combined with front squats and finally we did single arm markets.

Our training looked like this:
- mobility 10min
- 3 laps
10x DL + 10x sumo DL 140kg
15x FS 110kg
- trap bar DL
- 60x dumbbell snatch 30kg

Then came D-day and we went to Marvel gym in Mladá Boleslav, where everything was happening.

It was a great atmosphere there, all cool people. New Czech pro Pavel Beran and Katka Kyptova came to see the wars. You have to see it!

It was a huge show and I'm glad I could be there. Too bad, a few seconds and Zbyněk could have won, but it was still a very nice fight and the guys hit rock bottom. They were breathing for at least half an hour.

Check out this interview to see how it all went down.

In the next installment, we'll look at CrossFit training, with more weightlifting, since that's what I'm focusing on a lot right now.

It's good to train what we're not good at to get better and push ourselves.

Have a good rest of the day and lots of strength in your workouts. Remember you have to enjoy it and most importantly enjoy it. Bye :)
