Just competed in KC’s Strongest Man and finished 3rd in LW. Wasn’t the best placing but I was happy with my performances. I came in very light (188) but deadlifted 525lbs ten times (11, but I didn’t wait for down call). Sucked at clean and press. Did about 500lb tire flips, and all times on 200lb farmers walks were close with me coming in third. This was my best showing in stones and should have put up the last one but I messed up on third stone and had to pick it up twice.
I will be doing a comptition in December (I did the same comp last year so it will be good to see how i’ve improved over the year). Events with goals are and (last years showing) are: Max log clean and press-250(220), 18" deadlift-700(600), stones -this year is keg loading(2 stones), max reps with 220 or 240 log-8 (4), farmers hold not sure on weights or time but I won my division last year.
I feel these are all within my reach. I also plan on training at a bodyweight of 205 and possibly 210 if I’m not too sloppy. Training will be three days, with a dual progression alternating weeks of volume or load and power. Event training once a week rotating events.
Feel free to comment, I just wanted to get this stuff down and public.
