Rest day spent next to the lake again.
Body is feeling pretty good tbh after yesterdays legs session. Hopefully I can get my head down in the Bivvy for a couple of hours and wake up feeling even better.
Any bites?[/quote]
Yep managed a couple this morning. Happy days.
Good to have a break from all things strongman and feeling refreshed and ready to have a great pull session tomorrow. Speed deadlifts on the menu[/quote]
Nice one. Are you a member somewhere?
Do you do your own nutrition plan or get help?
I’m doing a truck pull event tomorrow, any tips leading up to it? My group (25 tonne) starts around midday.
Was thinking carb heavy breakfast + eggs, then sip on carb drink & eat watermelon until it’s my turn.[/quote]
Yeah this was just a club lake though so plenty of lakes to choose from.Nah I do my own nutrition centres around the diet planner available on the site.
Just eat your normal training day diet with your normal pre workout meal. Then have whatever you usually drink intra workout for during the event. Don’t change your diet on the day, you’ll most likely shit your pants or feel lethargic.

How do you feel about the strongest man on earth title being added to the shaw show? Will this progress things or cause division?
Nothing groundbreaking IMO. Brian has done well to purchase the trademark. The Shaw Classic was an awesome show before it so it’s just a little extra spice to it now.
Nah I don’t think it will cause a division at all. Strongman has been there in the past and it didn’t end well.
The more great shows that are entertaining for the public the better.

Heavy legs session at physique warehouse today. Body feeling pretty beaten up so I focused on the essentials ie the leg press mainly. As I get closer to comp time my volume will drop down as I have to give my body a chance to recover between more intense sessions.
SL Extension 111×10 110×20 (DL)
Deadstop Leg Press 750×10 600×13
Leg Extensions – some orrible drop set
Prone leg curl 110×8 80×19Very much looking forward to a day off tomorrow, ready for a physical and mental break

Personal preference. I prefer Pakistani basmati rice at the moment and find it much easier to digest.
Try different rice and pick the one that works for you.

Hi Andy. Yep I did mine in 2017.
If they do decide to operate they will want to get you in asap in order to grab the tendon before it retracts too far. This will make for an easier surgery and a smaller scar.
Under general anaesthetic the surgeon will locate the tendon, pull it down and make a button hole in it. He will then put a small piece of titanium on your radius and pull the tendon between the radius and the ulna and hook it onto the titanium. My surgeon is the best in the uk at this and the surgery took 45mins.
You’ll most likely wake up in a sling and they’ll get you home asap. I went in for surgery in the morning and went home at 1pm. Right now for the rehab.
Total time is 12 weeks.
2 weeks in a sling with a bent elbow.
2-4 weeks regaining range of motion. This part is super important and should not be rushed. Ensure you get full supination of your forearm before you start loading.
Loading the bicep can commence at the 6 week mark. Light weight and high reps to begin with. I trained it 3 times per week. It will probably take you 4-6 weeks to get it back to full strength.
You can train around the injury. Legs can start straight away as can training your non injured side upper body wise. I used this as a yard stick in order to get numbers to work to when commencing injured side training. I also started training non direct upper body from week 5, ensuring I wasn’t using my bicep in those movements.
It’s a very common sense approach and I wish you the best of luck with it. Don’t rush the process and be diligent during the early stages and you’ll make a full recovery no problem.
My injured side is now stronger than before and stronger than my other arm.

Rehab day for me.
Moved as much as possible and got in two walks during the day.
Soft tissue work on glutes and lower back and some mobility drills for my SIJ.
Feeling much better today but don’t want to risk events so I’ll completed my upper back work tomorrow.
-
Poor session today. Managed to irritate my SIJ again with some poor deadlifts. Fucked up the suit and it changed my start position too much.
Very annoyed at myself but I know it will settle down fast as it doesn’t feel as bad as before. Rehab on it today and tomorrow to settle it down for training on Monday

Where would bench fit in iyo? I know it doesn’t directly carry over to any events that I can think of anyway, but it still a lift that’s important to me.
In the past I’ve found that pressing for shoulders detracted from my bench training. I wonder if the reverse will be the same??
You need to decide if you want to prioritise strongman or powerlifting training IMO.
I would be focused on the overhead lifts and incline bench press variations over flat bench as 90% of the presses we do will be overhead. Any flat bench would carry over to strongman better if it’s close grip. [/quote]
Noted. I’ll park flat bench up for the minute & come back to it in a while. What is the chest event at Shaw?[/quote]
It’s a new event. Standing chest press (deadstop) and will be a rising weight much like the kegs squat/deadlift at WSM -
Press session today and the focus was very much on the chest press movement. I added more volume to that movement as we have it at the Shaw Classic so I really need to drill the chest press with a pause.
Hammer Strength chest press 140×8 80×18 60x4x10
Cable Fly 42.5×10 32.5×20
Incline DB Curls 30×6 17.5×13
BB curl 60×10 40×16
DB Hammer Curl – drop setMeals are still going down fine which is great considering the mount I’m putting down my neck. Onto speed pulls tomorrow morning.

Well earned rest day today. Body needed it.
Dogs walked and another trip to Costco – seems like I’m there more and more during this prep.
Got a late pick up of the mrs right now so a late night for me. I’ll push my Day back an hour tomorrow to compensate for it. Pressing session tomorrow

Trip to physique warehouse for my legs session today. Deadstop leg press feeling much more comfortable this week as I get used to breaking that initial inertia.
