No your other left, your other left, there ya go. Now stay there.

No, no, no! Point at the camera, sweetheart. There you go. I like those kind of high heels too. Don’t take them off, don’t take them off!

Joe’s favorite – save that one for the bank, baby!

I love the hair part, right about, almost, wait for it, wait for it, yeah, now! Brilliant!

Timber Lift – In this event, also known as the Farmer’s Carry or Walk, contestants lift 865 lbs. of barn timbers bolted together. They have 30 sec. to carry the 865 lbs load up a 32 ft. inclined ramp.

I created my own links to these results as runohio.com’s web site is not great for easily finding past race results.

How to train for a pump and run

Here are a few training thoughts for those looking to try a pump and run. There will be another one in Cincinnati, Ohio during the first weekend in May. So you could try a pump and run before the Arnold Pump and Run next year. The first thing you should consider is your body weight, and you should do so several months in advance of the event. Determine your body fat percentage and from there make a decision on what should be your event weight. For every five pounds that you determine to lose, give yourself a month to do so. The more unnecessary body weight you carry, the slower your run time and the less reps you will do.

I’ve always tried to get in running shape beginning 3-4 months before the event. Ideally, I need to continue running year round which will help me get to the body weight I desire. Do 2-3 5k races in the months leading up to the event and perhaps even a longer race. This experience will be vital on race day.

I’ll write more later on benchpress training as I have already written some below. Later this week, I’m going to try 170 (10 lbs. less than I did at the event) to see how many more reps I can get with the lower weight. I think that will be very telling on the body weight reduction and how beneficial it may be.
