Yep. The main focus is the comp but I have a weird overlap of 2 weeks before the comp so I’m unsure if what to do in that time frame. Next week is the deload and then I have that 2 week period
Some of that was also just window shopping because I like to layout a plan
Could you just do event type training for those 2 weeks, with some accessory/pump work ?
Is your schedule 4 weeks ? with the comp at the end of week 4 or is it 3 weeks ?
Deload
week 1
Week 2
Comp week
It’s:
Deload
Week one
Comp week
Just doing light event stuff with pump work sounds good and refreshing
Yer, you are not getting any stronger in that week anyway. The week before the comp you would deff not want to be doing too much, so that really only leaves you one week. Focus on some event type training, doesn’t have to be the exact implements but something that mimicks the movement will be fine.
Gotcha! Thanks. I wasn’t planning to do anything but maybe a 5 pro 5s week but that solidifies it!
I wouldn’t do a week of 5’s leading into the comp. Remind me what the events are ?
Yoke press AMRAP- 190lb
13in dl max effort- 400lb start
Sandbag load- 175lb
Farmer/yoke- 225/500
Mystery
for my last one I did 2 light sessions in the week leading up to the comp.
Session 1, was Some light squats (135) maybe 3 sets of 6-8 to just move some blood around and then some light dumbell press and pull ups
Session 2 (3 days before comp) was some deadlift, if your start deadlift is 400, maybe work up to a single at 330-350 and that’s it. Then some light overhead press, 2-3 sets and a few pull ups.
sessions should be easy.
The week before that, you could do press and DL day, then a sandbag carry and farmers session, and what ever floats your boat for the last session. Dont flog yourself though. Focus on good fast reps and smooth movement with the carries.
Thanks! Definitely going to use to attack those 2 weeks!
Did something stupid tonight. Went to a party and came back home and decided to lift. It was a college party…
Deadlift from ground: 315x8x2, 245x10
Cable row: 50lbx3x20
Hanging leg raise: 3x10 (slow and controlled)
Notes:
Hey man!
Sorry, but I hadn’t read through your log, so not really sure what’s going on up in here.
This comp in three weeks, what is it? PL? SM?
All good! Novice strongman
He has strongman comp in 3 weeks, but was crying (joke) about improving his deadlift after the comp. Uses 531 progression currently and feels it wasn’t effective the way he had laid it out.
No that’s fair lmao
That’s a pretty good summary. Thanks for putting it out there
I feel like the other thing is I’m stronger off the floor than I am with the 13in deadlift which just messes with me because it’s a reduced range and I wouldn’t have guessed I was weaker there
I did the exact same with an 18" deadlift. Figured it would be much easier, but it felt like an entirely different lift. It’s weird stuff. (What I’m trying to say is, don’t sweat it, it’s not just you 
)
Was thinking about this and looked through 5/3/1 Forever. Settled on God is a Beast for my next template to run. Lots of 5’s and more strength work. Will notetake and learn if it works instead of crying about it!
Because of this idea, I read more into it and it’s a common thing! Thanks for the idea!

Sorry for your loss.
