Busy Monday travelling over to Yeovil to pick up a new strongman wooden log. Weighing 103kg empty. It’s a beast. Can’t wait to use it!!
Final heavy training this week
-
Incredible long weekend, only just home. Emily came 2nd in her category so proud of her.
As did another of my female clients who is a legend of the sport. On the men’s side I had 3 guys who had their first Europes and all did great, PBs across the board
Proud coach and reminds me of why I love my job.
I’m battered. Big week upcoming!
-
Had a massive session yesterday. 410kg deadlift PB, ladder work then farmers into yoke work
Day 1 of OSG Europes today was eventful but all my clients doing great as well as my partner Emily
Onto a busy Day 2 tomorrow!
-
Unbearable travel back from Portugal. Felt ill the whole way then plane delays and road closures on way home.
Had a bad sleep then up early to get to Harrogate for Emily’s competition this weekend, European championships.
She’s making weight today. Hell for her as her body is so stubborn in the final bit
I somehow hit a log press PB yesterday in the world’s most unideal conditions so at least I know I can still pull it out the bag. Rewarded for my consistency elsewhere I guess!

Last day in Portugal today, will be doing the same as the other days. Sadly picked up some sort of cold so feeling a bit run down 🙄
But onwards we go
-
Lots of sleep, walking, time in the sun, chilling out and good food. A great few days. Playing some mini golf today too
Done some extremely basic morning training and mobility as a deload before a final push into competition upon return on Thursday
-
Lovely day, finished off work in the sun and then chilled all day; nice food and stayed active too
Recovery maxing with sauna etc too
-
In Portugal, not gonna lie today was hard for travel. Airports crazy rammed, flight bit delayed and then just so tired running off basically no sleep lol but we’re here and chilled out after ticking off a bunch of work!
Early night, up tomorrow to get about a bit!
-
Busy day yesterday at the Global Strongman show, immense work from my client Tom who ended up in 3rd on the podium after a shaky start. Love to see it. Proud coach.
Crazy late night thanks to the M1 and M25 and now at Gatwick catching an early flight to Portugal to chill out for a few days.
Only got hand luggage so stuffed all my supplements in 😂 I cannot live without Dream Sleep and other staples.
-
Got to Boroughbridge, big session hitting 180kg on the competition log, a 4 power stair run which was good and a 1:05 Hercules Hold for a 10 sec PB!
Happy with that on low sleep and honestly past few days I’ve felt absolutely fried to be honest.
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s show but mainly for Sunday where I’m going to Portugal to fully switch off for a few days ✌🏻
-
Big few days coming up. Today I’m resting, have physio and working my evening shift, then driving up to Boroughbridge to stay the night before training at Giants Live HQ tomorrow.
Once training there is done I’ll get some food with my mate and head down to my hotel in Sheffield for the following day supporting the Global Strongman show.
Then, late home Saturday night to pack and get ready for very early rise Sunday morning where I’m heading to Portugal for a few days off. Can’t wait!
-
Big Wednesday! 370kg x4 deadlift and an awesome productive session
After a morning of coaching and then a chilled evening after food shopping
-
Very busy couple of days. Got back from Guernsey, had more work to do.
Monday saw a huge session at my friends gym followed by travelling up north for a new episode of our show Giant Problems.
Today was filming then podcasting then back home. Feeling knackered.
Must sleep more…
-
Guernsey’s Strongest was a superb day and an absolute pleasure to be at. Great work from organisers and athletes alike. Have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, everyone so accommodating and food is stunning!
-
Travelled to Guernsey today, early morning, a boat trip and some exploring before an afternoon of work and client catch up
Looking forward to tomorrow!
