Last Log Presses before Californias Strongest Man
Got a late start didn’t start lifting till 6:30 I like to start at least an hour earlier had ate some cheesecake. Took my maxforce and was ready to go!

Log press

95x5
145x5
185x3
205x3
235x1
265x3 PR +10lbs
235x7 PR +15lbs

1 motion clean each

185x10 this was the worst haha. Going to start doing these after my heavy sets to prepare for whatever strongman fitness qualifier I do

Thats it, it was late and I get up to damn early

Jesus thats some awesome pressing.

Good luck at your contest!

Yeah, man, good luck! We’re all rooting for you!

Thanks guys! 9 days out! did my last training last night nothing crazy didn’t feel like going hard. time to shut down rest and heal up now

How’s everything feeling dude? Oh and I read that Chad Wesley Smith decided to do the same comp I guess because it’s nearby. He’s a strong bastard, but I’m interested to see how he fares and if it messes with his head when there’s some seriously strong dudes in his class.

Oh, and I’m jelly you get to be on TV.

I was just about to comment about CWS competing. Good luck, brother.

The powerlifter for Elitefts? Thats cool he is a HW so I am good lol. Should be some real good guys its a very competitive show. I think the LW’s is deeper talent wise but some good HW’s as well. My training partner probably isn’t doing it so that is good for him! lol I am feeling great i was tired as hell this weekend, been busy doing stuff driving down the coast having fun on my vacation but woke up this morning like a raging bull I want to lift right now I’ve been pacing all day i love this feeling! Time to take the title that is mine.

Been a fun vacation so far they upgraded me to the girliest cobalt blue v6 mustang convertible haha I look ridiculous driving it but its still funner than an Altima

It might rain Saturday but I am prepared for whatever

Here is a video of my training partner just missing out on qualifying for the finals at the Arnold Amateur world championships! He tied for 10th but lost on a countback with the guy who ended up earning his pro card. So bitter sweet but not bad for 10 months of training… 6’7 400lbs btw

Wish I was competing tomorrow, the last few days are the worst I am ready right now!!

About to make the 5-6 hour drive. Yeah buddy lets do this! going to weigh in today should be a good 5 lbs under was 193 before breakfast

I am Californias Strongest Man won all but 1 event full writeup tomorrow

Locking out 270 for the event win on the log in torrential downpours. I wanted 300 and think I had the strength for it but the conditions I could only push press.


keg toss

after 4th keg

That keg flew. NASA should just hire you for launches and save money LOL.

Congrats, bro!
