Felt really good that day so was hoping to maybe hit 100kg strict OHP but as soon as I got in the gym I felt sick, got a massive headache, starting to feel cold and shivery all over and felt like my throat was closing up.
Worked up to 80kg for 5 on clean and strict press but felt like I was gonna die.
Gonna repeat this workout today if I feel better, if not im gonna take a day off and do it tomorow.

My ego has suffered heavily after I changed my techinque from low bar to high bar squats… going to train high bar squats from now on as it feels like it has more carry-over into strongman.
Squats (High-Bar)
100kg x 5 reps
140kg x 5 reps
160kg x 5 reps
180kg x 2 reps and failed 3rd
100kg x 20 reps (very painfull!)
100kg x around 15 - 20 reps
Quads have not felt so sore in a LONG time!

Didn’t know if I could make it home since every step was pure agony in my quads and glutes…
Had to go light on rowing movements and pull-ups and pull-downs as my shoulder is still recovering

That’s a nice stiff leg pull. Do you typically like going for heavy singles on stiff leg deadlifts?
