Had a run through the deadlift ladder for WSM today. Wanted to get an idea on timings as I plan on using my straps for all the lifts to save my biceps and hands. Goal was to be quick setting the straps on each rep.
Deadlift ladder 300/320/340/360/380 in just under 40sec.
Finished with some grip holds simulating another of the WSM events. Started off with 200kg on a 28mm bar for 45secs then moved to 100kg for 3x30sec with the fat grips on the handle.

Got back late yesterday after supporting a mate of mine in a bodybuilding show. Man that’s a long day! Definitely an experience watching all the guys and girls on stage but I’ll be sticking to picking stuff up for a living.
Long day and I needed some extra sleep so had a good lie in today to catch up and now it’s time to get ready for some deadlift training later – deadlift ladder and grip work to do today.

Yeah it’s tough to diagnose these types of injuries online – I would advise on seeing a sports physio to get a proper diagnosis.
Once you know what you’re dealing with we can help you with a rehab plan.

Travelled up north today to train on some specialist kit for WSM. Did some powerstairs, yoke and loading:
Powerstairs – 200/215/225kg for 3m then 3 steps
Yoke – 2 runs with 400kg, 13m in 6sec
Loading – 2 sacks and an anvilAll feeling really easy. Great end to my training week.

Just the atlas stones session today. Took my time warming up and worked up in singles going 130/150/180/210 before doing a set simulating the stone off:
150×2 180×2 210×2
Felt really easy which is promising – the stone off is obviously plan b but it’s good to know my atone lifting is in a good place.

Yep I like DB chest supported rows with a variety of bench inclines.
You can also perform different grip widths and hand positions (pronated/neutral/supinated).
It’s a great pull movement
-
Yep definitely listen to your body and rest. Get your diet and sleep back on track and go back to training when you feel ready.

Patella tendinitis is rearing it’s ugly head again today after yesterday’s split jerks.
Need to keep on top of it before it becomes a chronic issue. Back on the daily Iso holds on the leg press and soft tissue work above and below the knee.
Spent some time in the sauna before a trip to Costco for supplies.
Bit of a different events day tomorrow as I’ll just be doing stones before heading up north to train on some specialists kit on Saturday.

Brilliant pressing session today in and out of the barn. Once again total volume was low but intensity was certainly high!
BTN Jerk – 220×1
Log press – 155×5 140×5The jerks felt really snappy – I’m confident on this event at WSM. Managed to train the log press outside again to replicate WSM conditions and all the reps felt really solid today.

My body was a total wreck yesterday. After a full day filming and heavy deadlifts on Monday, combined with a long drive in the car, it left me proper fucked on the TBJP scale ?
Had some massage, spent some time in the sauna and pool and got an early night and I’m feeling way better today.
BTN Jerks and log press this afternoon and things are getting serious!
Been following you a while now mate your overhead is flying 210 behind neck jerk in training looked snappy. Any events in the heats your worries about? [/quote]
Thanks buddy. Nothing massive to worry about but it’s all about who you get in your group! A good set of events can turn into a nightmare with the wrong people taking points off you in the group stages. WSM is brutal like that! -

Is your diet still the same as when you first started this log adam? You seem like you’ve put on abit of new timber. Your traps are starting to look like janashia now ?
Haha Janashia’s traps are the most bizarre thing in strongman! I will take it as a compliment though.
Yep the diet has remained the same for a while now – only thing has changed is that I’ve upped my carbs very slowly so for example I started on 60g of whey and 150g of COR post workout and I’m now on 60g of whey and 200g of COR.
Body is feeling good at the moment so I’ve stayed away from the scales for a bit as I build towards WSM as I tend to get a bit obsessed with my bodyweight.

Down at Mirafit HQ all day today for a media day consisting of product photos, videos and interviews.
Also tied in my deadlift session into it which was very short as I begin the taper towards WSM.
Pulling on the deadlift bar and worked up to a smooth 420kg single raw – moved well as expected.
Recovery day and some grip work tomorrow which I didn’t get done today

Sunday update.
Nothing much to report today. Had the day totally off as I have a heavy raw deadlift planned for tomorrow while at a media day for one of my sponsors.
Went out for a lovely lunch with the Mrs then drove to see my parents as their house is on the way to my destination tomorrow.

Yep I agree with Rich – I went through a phase of taping small plates to my DBs when I wanted to bridge between DB weights or when I needed to up the weight on the DBs I had at the time.
