Back home after a decent couple of days up in Sheffield for Britains strongest man.
Felt good going into this comp as training had gone to plan and my body was in one piece. Picked up a couple of points on the press medley then took 1st in the car walk with a PB of 11.81sec for the 450kg car over 20m. Next up took joint second on the deadlift with 7 reps. For some reason my glutes burnt out early on this one. Suit was fitting a bit tighter than usual but still a decent result. Bag toss saw me 2nd again with a 15sec run which was my goal and finished it off with a 2nd place in the powerstairs to leave me 2nd overall behind Tom Stoltman. Really don’t mind losing to him as he was proper on form and is a 3xwsm winner.
WSM invite secured so it back to the drawing board as I’ve got 10 weeks to prep for it. I’ll take a couple of days off to recover then I’ll get back to it

2nd place at Britains Strongest man and qualification ticked off for WSM this year. Super late finish after the meet and greets so I’ll do a proper write up tomorrow.
Job done.

Apologies for the lack of updates guys. Busy day yesterday and today.
Got up to Sheffield on Thursday to do some promo for the show on Saturday. Glad I did come up a day early as the traffic was terrible to happy to get that out the way.
Today was interviews and the team meeting. Same old stuff with the same old faces. Stayed up a little later tonight so I can sleep in tomorrow and shift my day back a bit. Show kicks off tomorrow at 5pm.

Final session ticked off today. Top set of 240×5 on the axle deadlift, bar was flying and obviously felt super easy as planned.
Massage in the afternoon then rest of the day spent prepping food and getting kit ready for tomorrow when I head up to Sheffield.
-
Rest day. Was supposed to have massage today but moved it to tomorrow after post my final session before Brits. Makes more sense. Body is feeling good and mind is focused.

Lateral raise variations or try a different grip for your pressing
-
Press medley went perfectly today. 80kg on the circus DB and 120kg on the fixed axle. Best the medley has felt and everything moved super fast.
Rest day tomorrow

I would keep in any movements that are pain free personally.
Use anti inflammatory drugs to manage swelling (short term only to get initial swelling under control) and include some isometrics for your tricep in both the stretched and shortened position. Daily isometrics really help me and others I’ve worked with reduce the symptoms of tendinitis. 3 sets of 20-45 second holds done daily is a good place to start.
When reintroducing Pressdowns start with a neutral grip and progress them slowly with low weight.

Rest day. Nothing to report really. Just two sessions to go now with some press tomorrow and deadlifts on Wednesday.
-
Squat deload today. Worked up to my top set of 185×5 and that was it. Super straightforward but important to keep myself moving this week.
One week out from Britain’s strongest man and I’m super excited. Over 9000 tickets sold for the show which is amazing. Strongman is in such a good place in the UK and I’m super proud to be part of this era or British strongman.

Over at the farm this morning for yoke and bag toss. Worked up to a single run of 20m with 280kg then two sets of the comp weight bag toss runs, one at half speed then one all out run. Best set I’ve done on these so very happy.
Evening session in the barn worked up to a deload top set of 82.5×5 on military press followed by a set of 3 with 80kg on circus DB. Getting my rhythm right on these.
-
Yes I see it as a good option. Improves performance in the gym and should help maintain body composition
-
Rest day. Body is feeling good and I’m ready to shift some weight tomorrow. Light yoke and bag toss in the morning then deload military press and light medley in the evening.
-
Final heavy deadlift session ticked off in style today. 380 for 4 on the axle deadlift and they moved well. Had that aggression back in me today as well which felt awesome.
Body is feeling fresh as I taper. Day off tomorrow then some events on Friday. Nearly into the final week before Brits
-
Rest day.
Just had some massage today and the rest of the day was pretty chilled. Food prepped and steps done. Ready for my final heavy session tomorrow.
