The workout started well with some light rows and some light stone work as well and I was feeling really good.
 
I even attempted the Thomas Inch DB for the first time and wqas blown away when I got it twice! I thought for sure at that point that I was gonna rip the stones a new one.
 
But you can just guess what happened next. I struggled with the stones so bad that I couldn’t even due my previous max that I have done in the past!
 
I can’t tell anyone who reads this how pissed off I still am about this. If I was going for a new max and didn’t get it, that would be one thing. But I’ve done a 260lbs stone before! I’ve done more that that before! How did I loose ground on a staple of the strongman bag of tricks?!
 
On my pissed off ride home it came to me. I haven’t been consistent in training with the stones. Even though they are a week pont for me. How could I have not seen this coming? I’ve been so pre occupied with gaining static strength that my weaker events have suffered for it.
 
No more baby. I know that my cardio and some events I should focus more attention on. I know that consistency and only consistency will get me to the goals I have for myself. So that’s it. Call me King C from now on baby cause i’m all over it like flies on you know what.

were you using tacky when you were maxing on the stones? I've had problems at the end of workouts with stones only when I used chalk only.

Hey Dark,
 
Remember, stones are that deadly combo of technique and strength. You do have to be strong, especially in the abs and lower back when making the initial pull, but hand placement, foot placement, general overall body alignment are all big factors in the pull. Even a little off, especially with a little fatigue already in place and you won't be making those pulls.
 
Austin also has an excellent point of use of the tack when pulling stones.
