It’s a tall order my brother, but I am confident you can make it. Anything that can address your overhead presser will surely help you. It’s good to hear that you are registered for the March 18th strongman in Oregon. Keep going!
Thanks for the positivity! That event was in 2017, and it was very enjoyable.

Haven’t been recording it in logs, but I’ve been training a martial art of sort at least 3 times a week, but often up to 7-8 classes thru the week. I’ve noticed that boxing and muay thai don’t really effect my lifting, but jujitsu (especially rolling with higher belts) definitely does. For example, I spent probably close to 20 minutes hopping on one foot yesterday while being the training/demo dummy for single leg takedown drills, and my left calf is quite sore. Also, my only regularly successful submissions are guillotines and d’arce chokes, which for me usually come with a good bit of squeezing. My biceps and forearms are usually a good bit fatigued on wednesdays and fridays, the days following BJJ.
