Notes:
- Felt beat up heading in. Got good lifts in so that’s what matters
- I GOT A 91 IN MY BIO LAB. I AM BEYOND HAPPY
- I saw a strongman comp coming up in October. I’m tempted to do it but IDK if I can hit the numbers required
They are as followed: Novice 0-234.1LBS - Max 13in axle deadlift: 400
- Farmers to Yoke medley: 225/500
- Yoke Press for Reps: 195
- Sandbag over bar: 176
No Idea if I’m anywhere close to these but I’m tempted to eat big and train hard for these next 2 months to see if I could even do it. Just unsure if I should

I just mean hitting the weights. I honestly probably could if I just commit to it
Fuck it we ball. I’m going to commit to it now

This is it. Search back on @T3hPwnisher log for when he needed to hit a heavy keg overhead in an upcoming comp. He trained with this sole purpose and ended up as strong as the Juggernaut.
Only question I would have is if you have access to any of the equipment to practice on. I did yoke earlier this year first time ever in the comp and whist I still got it done, It wasn’t the ideal way to learn the yoke.

Axle bar and a way to raise the bar check
Farmers to yoke:
No farmers handles or yoke but SS yoke bar and trap bar
Yoke press:
No but I have a 12 inch log
Sandbag over bar:
Was actually going to get some sandbags anyways so check
Will search through @T3hPwnisher log tonight

Farmers you can use dumbells or trap bar bar
No real way to simulate the yoke.
Any overhead work will help but again hard to simluate a yoke overhead
Sandbags are easy to buy, dont know about where you live but over here there are always bags for sale second hand.
If I were you I would really see if there are any gyms near by that have a yoke and farmers. even if it just a couple of sessions doing some yoke, presses and farmers practice,

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for the advice!

It honestly wasn’t about a specific method/protocol and more an accurate mindset. I was LIVING keg pressing at that time, and eating to support that.

So it sounds like I’ll be living holistic training and eating to support mass for a while.

30 pushups
Had a friend come in for the week. Spent most of the week walking and showing her Louisiana. It’s weird to not train during a Deload but living maximally and I enjoyed the break.
Starting back up the do something everyday habit and today was just something

Notes:
- 5/3/1 for Strongman: Programming Adjustments, Competition Prep, and Training Tips - Elite FTS | EliteFTS
- Above is the program I’m doing with the typical 3/5/1 structure and 6 week waves and 3x10 with last set being AMRAP instead of 5x10 because it has been working for me
- Shitty session today. Had to cut back because of some acid reflux I was having from lunch. Fried food is just a no go for me
- Adding in more conditioning and extra work because of the extra calories. Time to eat big, work hard, and get yoked

- Shout out to my coworker who has been being super cool. I told her about my strongman comp and having to gain weight so she’s been brining me food. She bought me a thing of breakfast sandwiches and offers more sweets than she offers everyone else
- Giving the morning sessions what I have at the time I lift. Surge would probably help here but I don’t have surge money
