    Good log pressing session today albeit an absolute sweatbox in the gym, bored of the heat now to be honest but also need it to hold out for Hampshire’s Strongest next weekend 🙏🏻

    Struggling to get all my food in at the moment which is annoying. Not entirely sure why!

    Big Sunday of work yesterday, same old routine

    Solid deadlift session today focussing on speed pulls to get set up for a big one next week! Can’t wait.

    Free-ish afternoon so using it to sort a few house and life bits then chilling out (biggest part of recovery!)

    Crazy busy at the moment but loving life.

    Busy couple of days; this month is going to test me!

    Wednesday saw the usual coaching and physio, as well as some gardening bits lol

    Yesterday was a great session, hammering dumbbell pressing especially.

    Today is events and I’m super busy too stuff to do in the garden and a friend coming over

    Big Tuesday up doing content for our new series Giant Problems in London, mainly to appear on TalkSport which was very cool!

    Then got an invite to the Strongman Open/World Deadlift Championship which I’m absolutely buzzing for! 👌🏻

    Finally finished with training, productive log press and upper body session

    Huge Monday! Pulled 405kg for a deadlift PB

    Collected signs and kit for Hampshire’s Strongest (where TBJP are doing a sampling stall) and got back just now.

    Busy old day.

    Also tried the new performance protein finally. Vanilla ice cream is insanely good. Wow.

    Big weekend coaching, working and recovering. Getting set up to start a new prep in the hopes of a call up from a reserve spot I’ve been given.

    Very very busy August ahead.

    Couldn’t get into the site for a couple of days.

    Been a busy week to be honest! Finished today filming all day for an upcoming project.

    Super happy with life at the moment just lots on!

    Big weekend as always

    Great training day yesterday and today

    Yesterday back into full swing with log press and upper body hell. Triceps were decimated afterwards.

    Then today in for RDLs, pull accessory work and conditioning.

    I’ve ordered the new Performance Protein in Vanilla ice cream and I’m insanely excited!

    Feeling buzzing 👌🏻

    Trained yesterday and today, body feels good and had two productive sessions which is sometimes not the way for me post competition!

    Very happy.

    New block next week and looking forward to being back into a structure and get the day to day grafting going again.

    Few diet changes incoming too which I’m excited for!

    Had a few bits on yesterday including physio, coaching admin and life admin but found some time to chill out and relax.

    Always takes a few days for my nervous system to settle a bit, especially after a good result.

    Busy day yesterday filming recaps and coaching. Life’s hectic!

    But just resting the body and fighting a boat load of fatigue.
