I’d say he had 510-515 kg in him but definitely not after the 501. 430 - 470 - 510 would have been possible.
I’m a lot more pissed about where strongman is heading tbh with this wwe-esque shit around it. Kinda overshadows this amazing feat of strength for me.

Meh I ignore the drama as I ignore unproductive drama in all aspects of life.
It’s one of the aspects that is going in the wrong direction. Not the only one.
Publicity is good, but it’s the wrong kind.
Do you remember the staged bullshit beef between Eddie and Oberst a while back in the build up to Europe’s? Kalle Beck told me there was actually a boxing match planned as a finale. Quelle surprise…
Nah. If it was a while ago I wasn’t following strongman at the time maybe wasn’t even following strength sports lol
Not a loss in that case, haha

About to submit the biggest assignment yet. Bit tired so will train tomoz.
Haven’t had a proper training session since Thursdi last week so expecting a fair amount of squat volume tomoz.
I think I got a solid week and a bit until the next assignment so let’s get in some decent training.

Bit of catch up volume again. Wasn’t as grueling as last catch up volume squat sesh which is a plus.
Worked up to a double @ 167.5kg and a triple in wraps @ 180kg. Followed up with 15 rep PB on front squats @ 90kg. High rep front squats ain’t fun but I’ll keep going for now.

Going in the right direction I guess just needs stay disciplined and not overdo it.
I squat like u lol pops out the bottom but hits the sticking point and catches hard which is how I’d miss.
Yer like me only 40kg heavier and faster 
I know what you mean though about pop and then hitting the wall. I haven’t worked out how to fix that yet.
Relatively strong legs vs back/hips apparently or bar path being atrocious. I dunno if it’s something that can be fixed beyond that.

Piggy, when is a new DL PB coming? Weight moving quick. Looks like Sheiko Gold is treating you well?
Im on the list for Android beta testing when gyms re-open. Quite excited

I’ve been capable of it for a while now. 240 is/was my max on bumpers. Hit it for 4 on the calibrated plates not too long ago and for 7 using my mega cheat meme set up more recently.
I’m enjoying just getting stronger in general though I don’t see the need to hit a max. Just building for the time being. Might rep 250 on a big day towards end of a block though.
Was thinking of saving a true max for a special event when a gym’s open again. I’m close with the owner of a small independent one and he’s been struggling. It’ll be good for everyone to have a big reopening day I think.
Sheiko has been alright. Hardest thing is not overshooting actually for me because it lets you change whatever whenever.
What u up to? Crossfit from home still?

Whats your comp date in the app? Not going to do the re-test at the end of comp, or just cycling through the preps? Im just ‘bodybuilding’ from home really. I still cant program anything remotely cardio for myself, I just can’t.
That triple he did in wraps moved fast, too. What an asshole.

Got no comp date right now. Just in prep 2. If I do go for maxes I think I won’t need a proper peak to hit them.
Speeds overrated IMO.
In that case, do a 180kg squat where the whole rep takes 4 minutes.

I don’t think there’s a benefit to a 320-0-0 tempo squat but I’ll try
Edit bad maths 240 seconds

You will be the first to have ever done it, so you never know. Plus, you could just do 1-318-1
That is five and a half minutes, by the way.
