Rise Of The Slaya 2019- Next Strongman Comp prep and fixing my hip

I’m going to look into that. Hope theres somewhere close!

I’d always thought about trying it out, they only do bloody Wednesdays here though

Yer that is the only downside. They only do it at certain days and times. I figured duke being a student may have more opportunity to go.

Feeling amazing especially after yesterday’s massage! Eating good like crazy, Sleeping, taking naps. Hydrated etc. All ready for Saturday!!!

First competition done!!!
Placed 4th out of 4th in u90kg qualifier. Videos tomorrow

Yoke 265kg 15 metres

Was silly and went barefoot on concrete… never again lol! Massive weight/Run pb and for the full 15 metres. I dropped it 5 times though. Took me 40 seconds lol

Axle clean and press
82kg

Well got it 3/4th the way up and that’s it. Re cleaned it but legs were way too wide and my leg drive sucks

Axle deadlift for reps in 60 seconds
Almost broke it off the floor but 0 reps with 225kg

farmers
105kg per hand 30 metres drop and turn @15.

Back was fried and failed the pick 3 times before I finally picked it and moved 1.5 metres so I could at least score.

Stone of steel
100kg over 1.3 metres
Nearly got it over the bar. I messed up here by keep trying over and over to lap it and not resting or resetting. My mate midway ran over with chalk so that gave me the quick break,Grip and reset to almost get it.

Well look, Shit was heavy and I Zeroed 3 events but I gave it my best and competed so I’m happy!!! I can only improve. Also my mate broke the axle wr u90kg hitting 166kg. Just missed 170kg.

Also I have a coach now. My mate has limited spots and I took one of the last ones: here’s his 166kg lift

Thankyou!!

Great job Duke. You competed and learned a ton. Not what you wanted but even Alpha places poorly his first time. Now he is competitive nationally…
