Strongman Sundays …
Terry Hollands successfully rehabbed his biceps tear from the 2012 World’s Strongest Man.
You can follow his training log here and see what he did yesterday.
But as with all injuries, that tear is still in the back of his mind.
Felt very easy but still lacking confidence, kind of feel like I’m waiting for something to tear 🙁 . It’s coming back though.
He had a nice session nonetheless and is back on track.
- 162kg Axle Clean & Press
- 112kg per hand for 2 70m Farmer’s Runs
- 160kg Stones for 2 singles
My calves were very sore so decided not to go heavy.
112kg per hand for 2 70m runs.
First run was 21 seconds second run was 19 seconds.
162kg Axle Clean & Press
Howcome strong men so often tear their bicep tendon?
My guess: the jerky movements on stones which comes on top of their already heavy pulling training.
But it doesn’t happen in stone lifting – does it?
It did for Terry. https://allthingsgym.com/2012/10/2012-worlds-strongest-man-rock-lift/
His was in the shoulder. Most often I believe it’s in the elbow
I thought it was mainly axle’s they rupture their biceps on, due to the increased width of the bar they can’t keep their arms straight so the bicep takes some of the strain. Also aren’t tyres are pretty bi-cep dependant getting it off the ground?
My impression is that tears often happen i the tire flip event.
His clean technique is horrible. Why would he try and muscle the bar up rather than drop his hips and catch the bar?
Non rotating sleeves, bigger diameter of bar.
