Circus DB Press – 90x5x1
Incline Bench Press 150×5
Dips – 2 sets
Tricep Hell – 2 setsFrustrating press session today as my medial tricep tendon is still playing up and causing lockout issues. I spoke to my physio afterwards and we made a plan over the next couple of weeks to hopefully settle it down a bit.

Guts still not back to normal today which made getting my food in a bit more of a challenge than normal but we got it done. Rather have this issue now than in a couple of weeks at WSM.
Got the food shop done this morning – Costco is carnage on Sundays! Then this afternoon we did a long walk with the dogs.
Very solid Sunday, the opposite of my shits right now haha.

Not the best 24 hours for me. The world started falling out my arse last night and continued into today. How I managed to get my session done without catastrophic consequences I’ll never know. Hoping things settle down tomorrow. Session ended up being pretty decent luckily:
Bag toss – up to a top run of 8 bags 20-30kg
Fingals finger – several flips on the lighter finger before getting a solid rep done with the heavy finger. Big confidence boost on that one.
Conans wheel – single revolution sets up to 6 plates a side which is above comp weight
Stones – one motions on 100/120/140/160 then a double on 180. -
Very simple lower session at physique warehouse today. Don’t expect much from this session over the coming weeks as I taper towards Europes and worlds
Leg press – up to 550 plus bands x5 (paused)
Leg Extensions – 1 work set with drops
Reverse hypers – 3×12
Standing calf raise – 3×12I’m really seeing the benefits of the paused leg press on my deadlift and stones in the past few sessions. Big drop in direct hamstring work as nearly all events have hamstring requirements.

Managed to get out with the dogs between the rain showers this morning.
Also added in some compex work on my tricep on the resistance setting today. This will be a daily addition for the next couple of weeks to see if it helps with my log press lockout. I will alternate between the resistance/strength setting and the capillarisation setting each day.
Start of a new training week for me tomorrow with some lowerbody
-
Rest day for me. Did very much nothing apart from sleep and eat today.
Body was crying out for some rest so I moved very little and caught up on my sleep.
Bit more active recovery tomorrow as I’ll get out with the dogs for a long walk.
-
Tough training day. Body is feeling pretty run down and needs a break. Managed to hold it together and get everything done with the help of 2 scoops of DNFM.
Morning physio session followed by my press session followed by some sponsor meetings followed by massage. Ready for a couple of rest days now.
Seated Pin Press – 90×3 (w/band tension)
Log press – 163×1 then ladder
Circus DB – multiple singles at 90kg
High Incline Bench Press – 160×3 145×3 130×3
Dips – 3 sets
Tricep hell – 1 set -
7mm SBD if I want more support and a little rebound
5mm SBD if I just want some warmth for the knee joint and not so much support
-
Long long day up north.
Interviews and product shots in the morning then heavy events session in the afternoon before a long drive home. Unpacked the truck and it’s off to bed for me. One more session tomorrow then this training week will be done.
Deadlift – 385×3
Conans wheel – comp weight for an easy 360deg turn
Loading – anvil, sack and tyre into wheel barrow then 15m run with the barrow
Shield walk – two straight runs with the 195kg shieldAll in all a good day. Felt strong on the deadlifts especially today.
-
Drove up north today ready for some SBD media bits and training tomorrow.
Nice clear drive up the m1 which is always a bonus. Spent some time in the sauna and pool to help loosen off a bit after the drive.
Excited to train on the comp kit for Europes strongest man tomorrow

Another great events session today and it felt like a breakthrough on the fingals finger tricep wise. Tried some banded seated lockouts, one of my favourite press assistance movements prior to going to the farm and I think it made the difference. No pain or weakness on the finger flips today. Bag toss, loading and stones all at peak strength and speed levels as well.
Seated Pin Press w/bands – 90×3 (plus 70kg at lockout
Bag toss – 20/20/25/27/20/20/25/27 for a top run of 8 bags
Fingals finger – light finger for a top set of 5
Loading – anvil, 125kg bag, keg and tyre for 15m in 34sec – new PB
Stones – up to 180kg on motion then a run of 100/120/130/150/180Driving up to Yorkshire tomorrow ready for an SBD shoot and training session Monday.

Hi Yubin did your doctor order follow up blood tests?
-
Headed into deepest darkest Kent today to get my bloods and an ecg taken as part of my medical for WSM.
Ecg looks normal to my eyes but the doc will review it along with my bloods when I next see him.
Bloods will be back from the lab in a couple of days. I still need to complete the physical part of the medical for WSM once I get the forms sent through but I wanted to get the bloods done early.
-
Rest day for me today and my body needs it.
I’m off tomorrow to get my bloods and ecg done as part of my medical for WSM. It’s a bit of a drive but I’ve been working with my doctor for years now and he knows by body and my medical history exceptionally well.
We’ll see how the results come back but for now it’s an early night as I have an early start tomorrow for fasted bloods to be taken

IME foam rolling offers a reduction in pain and short term increase in mobility.
It will not change the length of muscles or fascia.
As a recovery tool I always prefer more active means such as low level cardio (usually brisk walking)
I tend to see it as a pre session tool if required.
