6’7 390…
These things happen on training days! We all had tacky on so we just recorded the whole thing and he pulled this and added it lol. I figure thats about all I can do with a 450lb stone haha
Found out this morning Bill fucking Kazmaeir is going to be the announcer for nationals. He will be watching and doing commentary on my lifts. Well me and another 150+ people but still… Got to bring it!
I didn’t want to give up any of my training secrets but here is a special treat for the nation!
looks like all is well.
Keep kicking ass!!
Should have used this song for your hip training.
BTW, answered your food question in my log. Memphis Style BBQ sound good? Or you wanting something else?

haha that damn song, I kinda liked the commentary so I left it
Yup was looking for BBQ thanks!
Off to Nationals in the morning.
May sound ridiculous, but watch yourself if you’re driving around here. People drive like epic assholes and are completely unpredictable in this city. Just assume everyone is going to come over into your lane, pull out in front of you, and generally try to mess you up, and navigation will be easier.
Oh yeah, and one of the guys in our gym will be helping y’all with setup, etc. Older dude named Richard. Real nice guy.
Safe travels dude, look forward to seeing you kill it this weekend.
Good luck Kalle, dominate everything!!
Thanks Ink
I dont feel up for a full write up right now but the one (BIG) positive was the car deadlift. It was extremly heavy. There was 66 Lightweights and 44 of them zeroed it I think. I got 4 reps which was good for 3rd in the 200s and 8th overall. To say I am the best in the country at one particular lift is pretty cool now I just need to be one of the best at every event
I estimate it was roughly 750-775 in hand
Holy shit those looked BRUTAL man, congrats.

yeah I burst blood vessels in both eyes. left is completely red. Face is bruised haha fucking crazy pressure!
Oh and round backs are good for your health
dude your log is awesome, strongman is a goal of mine down the road, was wondering what a good base would be on say
overhead press
deadlift
squat
to have if i wish to compete in maybe an intermediate event or so at possibly 275+lbs
those car deads were awersome btw
My lil’ Kalle is all grown up tear
awesome stuff in the log man, you’ve really progressed and become strong after all this time man. Really cool to see you mature.

you’d be a HW sometimes there are subclasss of 265 and 300 then SHW.
My advice is to go on www.NAstrongman.com look in completed contests or upcoming contests for something in your area and see what the weights are and work towards that. Also find a group to train with as doing the actual events thats the fastest way to make progress.
Gym lifts only matter so much but for a base i’d say 275/600/500. Roughly
I was not strong at all when I started but actually doing strongman is the best way to get good or prepared for strongman.
Thanks and if you have any questions ask away

Hey, I’m in awe of the highland games and strongman in general since it requires a lot of athleticism that I think I’ve permanently lost lol. I’m living vicariously through you man!
P.S. lol, I hope you’re not suggesting that I’m not normal.

haha I am horrible at the athletic part I’d make a much better powerlifter! Neither of us are normal but as far as really genetically gifted or anything like that. I don’t think either of us getting strong was a thing we were born with
