Rest day. Bicep is a bit sore but still relatively functional. Physio appointment tomorrow to have a better look at it but the plan is to train around it for a couple of weeks while I assess its strength.

Yes but most of the time I’m mixing it with fat free yoghurt. Texture is normal.

Long day as I’ve got home from watching the UFC at the o2 – very lucky to be invited down by TKO which is linked to the same company that runs WSM. Got my deadlift session done this morning working up to 370×3 then an eventful events session in the afternoon. Bag toss done then on my stone run I managed to tear the remaining muscle fibres in my left bicep which was annoying. I partially tore them way back in 2018 but the rest had gone now. Not too worried really as I still have full function just with a little pain. Will settle it down over the next few days, get it moving again and then build strength back into it. Still on for Europes and WSM so no competition plans, just an inconvenience really. Runs the look of my left bicep now haha – lucky I’m not a bodybuilder.

Morning session at the farm with Ben today. Got the big boxy yellow farmers walk implements out to work with as they are similar to the WSM anvils we will have at the competition. Felt super solid on those and the walking stones where I did a full 20m with the turn and set them down. Grip and control of the stones was great. Finished the session with a couple of truck pulls took a lot of work to get the slope correct but we got there for a couple of easy runs. Will look to progress this in the coming weeks.
Evening session in the barn looked like this:
Log Press 113x2x6
Dips 3×10
Lateral raises 3×10 -
Rest day today. Made the most of the sunshine and pressure washed the driveway – real grown up stuff these days haha. Couple of big training days coming up tomorrow and Saturday.

Squats today up at Physique warehouse gym. Felt super strong.
Squat 290×10
Seated Leg Curl 4×10
Calf raise 4×10Then back in the gym this evening for some stone to shoulder. Great day’s training and happy with how fast I’ve got used to the squat suit again

Rest day.

Physio appointment this morning keeping an eye on my right Achilles and other usual problem areas then off to the farm for some events. Just walking stones into simulated stone medley using sandbags today. Couple of runs of walking stones into sandbag to shoulder into husafell bag carry into bag load.
Back into the gym in the evening for my press session. Reintroduced the circus barbell after a couple of weeks focusing on the DB only.
Circus BB 160×1
Circus DB 100×1 (then medley)
Incline BB Press 3 sets
French Press 4×10 -
Rest day. Body feeling the last couple of days training so got my steps done via a nice walk with the dogs this morning then had a very chilled day.
Physio tomorrow morning then off to the farm for some events

Pin before bed after last meal. The carbs in your last meal will not affect the GH. I see zero reason to interrupt sleep.

Got a short walk done before my first session today to get my body moving and loosened off. Dropped the reps on the deadlift to minimum now as we lead into the final few weeks of prep. Super easy 5 reps done today which felt good.
Deadlift 347.5×5
Leg Press 4×10
SL Calf Raise 3×20
CG Pulldowns 3×10Short break to get a couple of meals inside me then off to the farm for some events. Big focus on the stones today and did a full 100-180 run – same as we will have at Europes. Felt smooth and time will be shaved off on comp day as the stones will sit better on the the platforms. With my set up I’m always a little cautious to ensure the stone is settled before moving on but the giants live platforms sit the stone easily.
Bag toss – 16 throws total
Atlas stones – 100-180 run
Uphill van push – 3x30m -
Double training day. Started off at the farm for a few events. 3 sets of 20m on farmers walk then a set of 30m (turn at 15m) with the walking stones. Finished up shouldering the 160kg sandbag a few times working on different techniques.
Walked the dogs in between then into the gym this evening for the following press session:
Log Press 153×3
Dips 4×10
DB Lateral/rear delt raises 4×10Log presses felt nice and snappy today, easy 3 reps. Another double day tomorrow starting with deadlift in the morning.

Rest day. Body feels good after yesterday’s sessions. Ready for some events tomorrow morning and some log in the evening.

As the guys above have stated it’s long term trends that they look for. I personally have had “low” eGFR ever since I’ve had bloods done over 10 years ago.
If the doctor is worried by a sudden change, kidney ultrasounds or another more accurate test would be their choice to get a better picture.

Upped the food a little and the scale has started to go up again. Set up the WSM squat in the gym today and added the squat suit. First time in a squat suit in close to 7 years so very happy for it to feel so natural. Felt super easy. Got 10 reps on 275 and I could have done another 10 tbh. Hopefully it transfers over to heavier sets in the coming weeks.
Squat 275×10
Seated leg curl 4×10
Calf raise 4×10Evening session at home was a simple stone to shoulder with multiple singles done on the stone of steel.
