LOL when introduced to someone new , I write down the name , and as much description as I can . It helps to review my notes before a meeting . Hallways are tough sometimes I just come up with the name before passing LOL . A word of advice that has worked for me . Assume every NT loves to hear their name I was told this once , and assume it to be true . You may feel it is optional , but use their name as much as you can , it will help you remember it , and the person will warm up to you . <| sep |> Apologies in advance for the awful formatting you are about to see . Happy to help ! I like to train 56 days a week and what I do is I base my main lifts off of what the events are at the next show , OR based off of my concept of the Strongman big three which are the Log press , highbar squat , and deadlift . T 1 is the 3 x 5 progression , using 85 % of a training max . So , if 15 or more reps across three sets 10 , if 1215 , 5 , if 1012 , no increase . T 2 would be the 3 x 10 progression , started with 65 % of a training max . So , if 2530 reps add 10 , if 2025 add 5 , if sub 20 add 0 . T 3 was trying to hit 50 reps in four sets , if successful take the next smallest weight jump . So , my last show had a log lift for reps , car deadlift for reps , yoke walk , farmer ' s walk , and atlas stone series .
