Todays lifting
Speed banded front squats

Yoke
2 sets of
15 metres. Deliberately going slow to work on stability and technique. Yoke is my worst event because my technique is terrible. It went well today though
220-240kg feeling light. Going to hit a 300kg+ after this program is finished (6 weeks to go)

Nice session

Man, you’re definitely putting on some size and strength. Great job.

It’s amazing what following a program can actually do for you !!! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It’s almost like planning (or having someone plan) your stuff ahead of time and sticking to it instead of jumping from program to program was a smart idea. Go figure

Really light. I have another strongman comp in about 2 months. One of the events is 200kg deadlift for reps and I’m confident Il hit at least1. Also axle squat for reps 180kg so I’m buying some wraps lol.

Events for next comp!
Comp is in August. I may or may not do it. I’m talking with my coach to see what he thinks. If not this one il do the next one after. Also will be doing static monsters later in the year

Axle squat for reps
180kg
Buying wraps! Il definitely hit at least 1 and it’s to a platform so I can be bouncy

Barbell clean and press for reps 90kg

Yoke and farmers walk medley (To be developed)
My time to shine. If yoke keeps improving il crush this

Barbell Deadlift for reps
200kg

Sandbag medley 60,80,100kg
I’m going to take 1st place in this event!

Where is your squat at currently? Also what is your current deadlift PR?

Have no clue, I’d estimate with sleeves a 1rm of 160kg on back squat. With the bounce of platform and wraps I think I will be good to go. On deadlifts I’d say right now i I could pull 180kg so I am worried to do 200 for reps at comp but that’s 1.5-2 months away. I’ve talked with my coach and depending on where my lifts are at next couple of weeks we’ll see if it’s worth competing or not.
