Bologna Warriors Professional Football

This was a tough week for the Bologna Warriors. The changing of our third American really caught the team off- guard. Many teams in Italy change their Americans often until they find a fit that works. However, the Warriors are known for their loyalty and team concept and generally keep the same unit intact for the entire season. So, this week brought some unrest and the team was a bit shaken up.

Competitive Strongman, Certified Sports Performance Coach

Hey guys hope training has been going well. Currently I’m getting myself prepared for my next competition in Hartford, Connecticut. In the last 2 months I have hit some p.r.’s on my major lifts. Some of them include a 360 overhead press and a 330 log press, 600 box squat, 440 front squat, and a 675 deadlift. Overall I’m just working on becoming a better strongman and continuing to keep my work capacity up. Recently this past Saturday I hit 270 log clean and press for 10, 705 yoke walk for 65ft in 15.5secs, 310 farmers walk for 65ft, 8 singles on the 900 tire working the one time, and the 310 stone for 5x2. Coming up I will be hitting a new phase of my program so check back to see what new misery lies ahead.

This Saturday June 19 we will be holding our 2^nd annual strongman challenge. The first event will be an overhead medley where the athletes will clean and press a log, axle, barbell, and a dumbbell. Next event is most tire flips in one minute. The third event is the “Death Medley” where each athlete will farmer’s walk for 50ft, sled drag 50ft, keg carry for 50ft, and the last event will be a truck pull. Last year’s college winner Chris Kulscar and High School winner Mike Reilly are back and hungry to regain the title. Hopefully someone will step up to the challenge and dethrone them as champion! So, come by this Saturday, it is for a great cause The Michael Laviola Foundation and see who will be the 2010 Varsity House Strongman Champion!
