Strongman Comeback

Training Logs
1

Hello all,
I’m a former competitive strongman, but I last competed in 2009. I injured myself, and then immediately launched into grad school. During this time I barely trained and got fat and weak. I’m staging a comeback now though. I am looking to start competing again this April, and found 2 meets on back to back weeks. I might compete in both.

The event I’m more sure of consists of:
Log press: 250 for reps
DL: Car
Yoke: 705
Conan’s: 700
Stone for reps: 335 or 400 (weight beats reps.)

PR’s since return
Log press: 285
Axle press: 310
DL: 585
Front Squat: 435
Squat:495
Yoke: 900x50ft
Farmers: 335x50ft.
Stones: 230 but I am just shy of being able to press it. Need to find heavier stones.

Anyway, I look forward to getting acquainted with you all, learning a bit, and getting reacquainted with hard training.
