Rest day today. Got home last night after midnight. Body pretty beaten up but otherwise feeling ok.
Going to have a couple of days off to get myself together, also took a chunk out of my hand on the farmers which needs to heal up before I grip stuff again.

Unfortunately tonight was not my night. My body was willing and felt strong but after the 3rd event my mind had a wobble and broke. Not sure what happened to be honest. I’ve never had anything like it at a show before but I think the occasion got to me, I heaped a load of pressure on myself and my mind broke.
I will speak to my sport psychologist and we will find the issue and fix it.
Great performances on the deadlift ladder (crazy easy) and the medley so always some positives to find.
On my way home now for a mental reset.

Made it up to Sheffield and checked into the hotel. Tv and social media interviews done followed by athletes rules meeting.
Headed out to have a meal out in town in the evening. Just wanted to escape the hotel for a bit. Staying nice and relaxed until it kicks off tomorrow.

Rest day. Short 30min massage this afternoon and bike intervals in the evening. Packed my kit bag and got my food ready for the trip up to Sheffield tomorrow.

Wednesday evening’s speed pulls.
Felt crazy powerful last night, the bar was launching which is a feeling I love. Proper in the grove technique wise and everything is firing as it should.
Just did 5set of 2 reps up to 220kg
Very simple but effective as keeping things sharp in the lead up to a show. All the training is done now, just a bike session this evening then we travel up to Sheffield tomorrow

Rest day. Physio and massage sessions today plus evening intervals on the spin bike.
A few speed pulls tomorrow and BSM prep

I agree with Nath – keep the same stance on the hack squat and build some consistent progress with it.

152.1kg morning weight.
Super short press session today. I’m pretty sure my warm up took longer than the actual
Lifting haha.Log Press 123×4
Focusing on timing and rhythm of the reps. Felt super easy as it should and I’m happy with the plan for Saturday on the log.

Yep for you and your situation just eat enough food in how ever many meals you want/need to fit in with your life.

Rest day. Body is feeling good. Evening intervals done on the bike.
Short log press session tomorrow in the barn

Over to the farm for a couple of events. Did a sandbag steeplechase run with 3x100kg bags. Felt nice and sharp on the pick ups. Followed this up with a couple of pick ups with the 140 bag.
Then onto stones. I wasn’t too happy with how I was lifting the first 120 stone to the high platform last week so got some work done on that then did a 120-180 run to the comp heights. Nice and solid and happy with my strategy for stones next week

Rest day. Caught up with the Quins guys today for some lunch.
Got my bike intervals done this evening.
Over to the farm tomorrow for a couple of events. Nothing major, just a couple of things to sharpen up.

Super light and explosive pull session. Worked up in sets of 5 up to a top set with 220. Ladder style with the straps focusing on speed.
Got my bike intervals done in the evening.

I’m going to assume you have reduced ankle mobility due to breaking your ankles previously.
I definitely recommend a pair of weightlifting shoes with a decent heel on them to give you some artificial dorsiflexion.
From there you’re going to have to play around with your foot position to see what feels comfortable
