Occasionally getting tingling in my big toe and calf. Not pain and everything appears to be moving fine when I walk. Keeping up with massage on the legs and lower back. But even though it is a slight return of symptoms, it bugs me and eats away at my confidence bit by bit. Fear can be paralyzing. I don’t want to be thinking about the period right after the injury. I don’t want to go back. Have to keep confidence in myself as I am getting better. Every ache isn’t a new injury. But I got to be cautious about it and not do something stupid. On to the actual workout. None of the working AMT exercise machines were available so I had to use the ARC trainer. Unable to get heartrate as it wasn’t working properly. Calf raises felt good. Ended up switching sides on the one leg ones in error. Nothing really aching up on box touches with regular style. Hamstring on the left side felt tight. Rows were good and stretch for the biceps helped the shoulders. Squat therapy felt good, no knee aching. Better than I was expecting things to feel. Second run through box touches, rows and stretch. No hamstring tightness with sumo style but keeping an eye on the aches in the hip. Hip airplanes followed that. Balance was tough on my damaged side. Took a few tries to get the reps. No issues with good side. Trying to get the hips firing right. Then on to box squats. I was supremely anxious doing these. Even with the bar. Just worried that I’d have something go wrong. It hasn’t happened on box squats but just a little misstep and I could be in trouble. I’m not getting symptoms like in the beginning but just having that feeling popping up is frustrating and makes me concerned that I would be back at the bottom of the mountain again. But I also don’t like to quit. If I felt like the symptoms were getting worse, I’d shut it down. Would be hard to do that mid set or mid rep. Any ways, the work up in weight was the same as last time with the box squats. Working up to a top set of 1-3 reps. Last time I did this sessions weight so I added 2.5kgs to the top weight. I used my thicker ratchet belt to see if that felt better with the box squats and I think it did. Felt better under the weight. Tough reps but not anywhere close to as tough as last time. Didn’t die so that was a relief and no flooding of pain either. On to abdominal work. High reps on the leg raises and band obliques. I was looking forward to the leg raises as they seem to feel good after heavy squats and pulls on the back. Felt good, wish it made everything feel 100% better though haha. Band oblique stuff was pretty easy after that. Home to stretch and eat.

Didn’t get the best sleep two nights ago so tried to make up for it last night. Slept in about an hour later than planned so had to get ready to drive out to Lancaster for yet another training session. Packed a towel and three shirts in case it was like last week with the humidity. Thought about the events most of the drive out there. No ibuprofen or lidocaine right now. Warmed up on the rower. Felt smooth. Some aches in the SI joint area but ok. Calf work alright and the usual box touches, band rows and biceps stretch felt good. No issues with balance on hip airplanes on my good side. Slight bobble with the injured side. Then on to event work. Same as it has been with the farmer’s walk. Light set with a turn, medium light set for a short run and then max distance with heavy weight. Slight breeze so I had someone hold my camera for the warm-ups. Not taking chances with the new camera. Best time so far with the light run with a turn. Straight run was ok. Not sure what happened but the plates in the front hit my shin shortly after I started moving so that threw me off but corrected and finished strong. Heavy set having a pretty big jump from the last set. Pick was slow and tough. I got moving but I felt it in my hands pretty early on and I knew it was going to be a struggle to get a long distance like previous weeks. Grip gave out about 13.7m shy of last time. Week in and week out. Maybe passing that point of drop off in how long I can hold on with the weights. Still more than double contest distance. Then on to stone of steel. Plan here being to work up to a weight and go for 5-10 reps as has been the case for last few sessions. I wasn’t sure how things would go with the SI joint aches. Had to use a slightly different setup this time. Different yoke so I had to stand on mats to get the right height. Last warm-up set, the thing came back quickly (hit the sandbag) and banging into my shins and rolled over my right foot. I may need ibuprofen later haha. Fighting sweat each set. Then on to the top set. Just shy of contest weight really. It was a learning experience. First rep was going up easy but I misjudged my distance from the yoke and didn’t anticipate the stone of steel slipping slightly. Totally biffed it and had to recollect my thoughts and give it another try. I moved it, so I knew I could lift it. I then got four reps in 60 seconds. I had the stone slip out of my grip trying to pick it so I took a bit to collect myself again and make sure it didn’t slip the next time. I got to five reps and that was pretty much just telling myself I got one more rep. The stone slipped again going for a sixth and I started to wonder if this was my limit. Where the gloves now going to be a hindrance? But I kept going, eking out rep after rep, breathing heavy, sweating profusely. My gloves were barely staying attached to my hands. It reminded me of a gecko’s feet each time I looked at them. About five minutes later, I got the tenth one over the bar. I had to lay down for a bit. My forearms were cramping and it was hard to open my hands. The floor felt like a good place to rest for a bit. After I had cooled down enough it was on to the last thing for the day. Keg carries as has been the flavor of the week. With how sore my back was from all the extensions with the SOS, I had my doubts I’d get past 18m. And truthfully, it felt like that was going to be the case but then the darn thing started to feel easier. So much so that I ended up going really far with it. I think I could go further but once fatigue sets in and I get to the downhill section of the parking lot, it’s hard to keep going. These things are great and terrible. The return trip uphill is a bear. Grip on the right hand was dangerously close to slipping by the time I was near the end. Another one down. Time to get some rest and get ready for the final stretch. Peak starts next week.

Still doing everything I normally do; just pops up and makes itself known time to time. Warmed up as per usual on the AMT. Heart rate was up to 161bpm so I bit elevated. Easy calf work and then into box touches and band rows with biceps stretch again. Rows and stretch felt good. Hamstrings felt tight. No issues with balance on the hip airplanes . Goal of the session was to prime and be warm and put my all into the dumbbell. Incline bench to start off the lifting. Big jumps up to a conservative single. All lifts up until the last one I felt slow unracking the weight. Butt came up on the top one. I think that was more just trying to get it to lockout quicker. Hard to fight that urge. On to the next one. Chest supported rows with static holds after that. Reduced the weight a bit as just getting things warm. Then circus dumbbell after that. Plan for this session was to work up in singles with the holds and pauses and then switch to competition style when I felt I was using too much effort on the other style with the goal being contest weight for the working set. I’d remiss to not mention that there was middle school aged girl in the stairwell singing most of the workout in the hallway. Stuff felt tough by 63.5kgs so I went with the competition style after that. Weight was moving well on my left side, some slop on the right. Last “warm-up” on the right I missed the first attempt and had to give it another try. Very warm, sweating a lot. Wiped my arms down with paper towels and chalked up my shoulders and both sides of both hands. Top set was contest weight. Enough weight to put the caps on my dumbbell, making it even larger. Went up well on the left the first rep. The recleaning was the part that was taking a bit out of me. I got three consecutive reps before I missed one. Got another one and rested a bit before trying for a fifth. I went too soon as I still had time and missed it. I feel I can get a fifth rep here. Small PR on the weight for this many reps. This was a big jump from the previous sessions with the reps. There is room for improvement but still good. Can’t say the same for the right side. I missed the first rep and only managed to get a total of two reps. I made several more attempts over several minutes but I was just burning myself out. My grip from the sweat was making it hard to shoulder the dumbbell to the right spot with enough stuff left to push it to lockout. The plan had been to match reps but that wasn’t happening tonight. Still putting in the work. My dominant side is at least on point and it will be the one I’ll be using at the show (assuming no mishaps). Another late night and home to eat recovery burritos, stretch and sleep.

Focusing on this being more of a prep for the heavy event work on Day 3 as this cycle wraps up. Stupid humid out today, sweating just walking from the parking lot to the gym. Traps quite sore still from circus dumbbell work. Started out with the AMT. Heart rate topped out at 152bpm. So back down from elevated reading last session. Calf raises were ok. Right one was a little behind this time but still good. Regular box touches were good, no issues there. Felt good on my tight hamstrings. Band rows were easy and felt good to move through that range of motion. Shoulders were definitely tight on the biceps stretches. Especially the right side. Squat therapy was ok, less knee aches compared to last time. No hip aching on these so that was good. Second run through of box touches (sumo style), band rows and biceps stretch was good too. Shoulders felt more even on the second set of the stretch. Hip airplanes were tough on my non-injured side. Only lost balance once on my injured side and at least a half dozen times on my good side. Then on to the weights. Only weighted exercise for the session was front box squats again. Reduced weight and intensity. Working up to three doubles with two plates for speed work. Timed rest of two minutes. Trying to work on the descent where I’m not super slow but have control. Box squats, not box plops. I feel like I was moving better by the end of the sets. Not heavy enough to see if my breathing has improved though. However, I did notice that the hip and SI joint ache seemed lessen/move so maybe that is something good. It started up after the heavy set of these two weeks ago so perhaps these shifted something back into the correct place. Who knows. Jumped right into crunches for a high rep set. Easy. Band side bends followed after that. No ab cramping so that was good. Injured side felt a little tender but not painful in anyway. Home to do some chores, stretch, eat and sleep.

As I mentioned last session, it feels like the ache has moved to a more tolerable spot. Out to train at Lancaster again. Was fully prepared for the humidity this time. I notices my neck and tarps were still tight and sore. I didn’t realize how much so until later but it was annoying checking my mirrors for cars on the highway let’s say haha. Pretty empty this week but quite a few of the crew were competing this weekend. Warmed up on the concept rower. No aches doing this. Was hoping the upper back tightness would lessen up a little. Calf work after that. Felt alright. Was expecting it to be a little tougher than it was. Then into box touches, band rows and biceps stretch. No issues here other than my upper back being sore and tight. Hip airplanes were pretty good. No balancing issues this time. Then the event work, starting with car deadlift. Goal for the workout being to work up in singles to a top set of two for something that I could make look powerful and comfortable. I realized just how sore my upper back and tarps were moving the frame out. Going to need to use some anti-inflammatories when I got home. After figuring out a formula for the car deadlift frame, I was able to make smarter and less redundant jumps in weight. Once I got to the most tire weight, I just added a pair of quarters to the handles each set after that. I put on straps earlier so that I could get used to them as far as putting them on the bar and getting them off as well as breathing with the belt while anchored in. Top set, I knew it was going to be tough with how the previous single felt. It was going to be more weight but probably not going to feel comfortable. But I had been thinking about trying this weight since I got this workout and I gave it my best effort. I started my pull and I felt like it wasn’t budging. Really slow until it got up just below my knee caps and then flew up. I went for the double and I felt like I was telling myself it was crazy/stupid. But it went up similar to the other rep. Gun to the head, I think another was there. This motion is so weird. Took a knee but not from feeling lightheaded, just the easiest way to get my air and undo the straps. Weight was about 248kgs in hands. Sandbag stuff to follow. No changes to the weights of the sandbag rows or the sandbag loads. Rows felt good (I was worried about the upper back) and no weights falling off this time. I had very little concerns with the loading like I had last time when I didn’t know if I could hold it with the sweat. Managed to do the reps in about 15 seconds faster than last time. A little more winded but I was going at a pretty good pace getting eight reps within a minute. Up next was another event with the idea of simulating contest conditions. I had not actually run this medley yet though I’ve carried the parts over the weeks for distance haha. Took my time setting things up as I was making sure I got things right. The actual event is 113kgs for all three implements but I only have access to one 113kgs keg and I figure the smaller “power keg” won’t be that awkward. First run was at 70% of the top set and I moved fast with the implements (not full speed) and was slow coming back to the next implement. The practice run with the lighter stuff helped me figured some things out. My shoe laces are too long as I accidentally grab them with the first keg. I will need to remember to tuck them into my shoes in the future. Breathing is going to be important with the sos. Felt light headed with it. I was anxious setting up the comp style run. Right side of my lower back was feeling sore. But I had to do this. Trying to go full tilt on the moving. Moving with the kegs, I felt like I wasn’t able to go full throttle but running back to the next one I felt I was. Staggered grip in the heat of the moment. Bar height for show is low enough that it isn’t really a concern. Got my breath right for the sos and made quick work of that. Really pleased with how much easier it felt compared to the light run. I will have to see next time with the parallel grip style of the kegs is worth it. Then the last thing for the week being the car push. Same as last time but with a heavier driver this time. Thankfully there were two people there so I could film it and have someone steer the car. Hard work. Managed to improve my distance a bit. Drove home and got the ibuprofen and lidocaine ready. Getting close.

These weeks of hard training are accumulating and hitting hard. I’ve forgotten how the peak can be. Been thinking about the competition a lot as of late. Even when doing relaxing activities like walking I’m visualizing the day. I’m nervous even thinking about the event session at the end of this week. Still sore and tight in upper back, mostly the left side. Warmed up on the AMT. Heart rate got up to 156bpm. I felt fairly relaxed on this. Calf raise work after that. Calves were tight. Then on to box touches, band rows and biceps stretch. Box touches were ok but felt the upper back when I touched the box. Rows were easy, stretch felt good on the shoulders and biceps. Trying to get the tightness in the left side of upper back to chill out. Hip airplanes were ok. I lost balance on one rep on both sides. Then the lifting. Change up with the dead floor presses first. Plan being to work up to 1rm. But stuff felt heavy. Right wrist was aching. I was aiming for just a little bit more than last time. But that wasn’t happening today. Able to get weight off the pins but just couldn’t get it to the point where my triceps could lock it out. Really pissed off about it. I rested a good bit and gave it another shot. Maybe a little closer this time but same result. Tried to push it out of my mind and finish up the rest of the workout. But it really was pissing me off. Chest supported rows after that. Lighter stuff this session. Trying to pull reps explosively with plenty in the tank. Goal achieved. Still not happy about the floor press. Maybe I was thinking that weight was a forgone conclusion that I’d get it as I was thinking too much about the last workout this week. On to the last item, log clean and strict press. Plan being to work up to about 70% and do some singles. Felt better than I expected. Was having some issues keeping my upper back locked on the initial pick up for the clean with whatever is going on with the left side. Nice and smooth reps. Some SI symptoms but nothing really noticeable. I think it was more so if I had too much backward lean. Home to stretch and eat burritos. Got to stay focused and get rest.

Felt very unmotivated yesterday. Just rolled a tennis ball on my upper back and went to bed about 2hrs early. I was hoping it would leave me feeling rested. It did not. Did some more rolling on a tennis ball in the morning before work as well as some massage. Got up to 33.3 today. Started out with the AMT. Heart rate topped out at 156bpm. Same as last session. Then on to the exercises. Calf raises were but calves felt tight. Regular box touches were ok. Felt tightness in my left hamstring and tarps. Band rows were good, still trying to get the back to feel good. Biceps stretch was good. Squat therapy went off without a hitch. Second run through of box touches (sumo style), band rows and biceps stretch was good. Not as much hamstring tightness this time. Hip airplanes were tough on my injured side. Only lost balance once on my non-injured side and at least a half dozen times on my good side. Then on to the weights. Only weighted exercise for the session was box squats. Same as front box squats last week. Working up to three doubles with two plates for speed work. Timed rest of two minutes. Lost count on the first set with the bar. First work set felt good but I felt I went down to fast on the second rep. Second set felt off and my right knee was aching. No issues with the last set. Leg raises followed for high reps. Felt tough by the end. I’m not sure if I did 50 or 60 reps. I lost count. Band side bends followed after that. No ab cramping so that was good. Home to do some chores, stretch, eat and sleep.

Dreading it really. Out to train at Lancaster for this last heavy workout. I almost threw up breakfast from nerves. I was already sweating before I left my house. Maybe with the plan being essentially 3/5ths of the contest at contest specifications was getting to me. Been pushing things so close to the edge, always the concern of injury. Not a concern I had when I was younger but with how things have been in the past, it is a very real concern. One false move and everything is gone again. Still got upper back issue going on. Slightly better but still annoying. SI joint stuff acting up again after the last workout. Wasn’t until I was stretching after the session that it started to act up again. Really annoying. Over 32.2 the day before so I skipped my usual walk so that I wouldn’t be drained going into this workout. Warmed up on the concept rower. No aches doing this. Already sweating through my shirt. Calf work after that. Felt alright. Then into box touches, band rows and biceps stretch. No issues here. Not as much issues with the upper back touching the box. Hip airplanes were pretty good. No balancing issues this time. Best they have felt in a while. On to event work. Usual farmer’s walk warm-up to get ready for the big show. Slightly slower on the first warm-up this time but slightly faster on the second one. I was feeling my grip being taxed even on that second run. Not a good sign. I didn’t feel comfortable jumping up 60kgs a hand with nothing in between so I did a pick with a decent weight. It went up easy and felt good in my hands so I felt I was ready. Plan being to do 152kgs for 18m with time and commands. I say plan as that didn’t happen. The pick was slow and I felt my grip going immediately. I ended up slowing down to try and keep my legs from knocking the handles out of my hands. And then I dropped them. Couldn’t believe it. I regrouped and repicked them but I staggered a few inches and down they went again. I had plenty of time left but I didn’t want to risk injury with how much effort it takes to lift them. Unbelievably pissed about it. Kept checking to make sure I didn’t add more weight than I thought I did. I knew I’d be pretty beat by this point in training but still. It took a lot of effort to keep myself there to keep going forward with the workout. Then on to stone of steel. Bar lowered to the contest height and the usual sets. Didn’t need to extend for these really and good thing as I was sweating profusely and I was having issues getting full extension. Had to keep wiping down my arms and face with a towel and stand in front of the large fan to put on my gloves and then go into the set to minimize sweat. Ain’t got time for a pulled biceps. I felt like I had things down pretty good going into the final set with the towel and fan combo. But I was still worried about the sweaty forearms so I used a tacky towel. Contest conditions for the stone of steel with it being 136kgs to 1.27m. I had issues getting it into my lap and then I missed the first load. Really gets into your head. I kept going. Gloves were getting pulled down. It is bound to happen at some point with them not being part of my body and only able to be secured at one point. May need to play around with gloves and tacky towel in the future to figure out when it would be best to use one versus the other. But the issue this time was definitely with the stone of steel slipping on my forearms and rolling out on the pick. I managed to get a good pace eventually but then I had a fifth spin out of my forearms again with maybe 7 seconds left and stopped there. Again, missed with this as I was definitely hitting 5-6 rep pace without someone rolling the stone of steel back. To add to it, it appears my camera missed the first and last set so I don’t have a visual reference to review. Again, took everything I had to not leave the gym at this point. Eventually, I got the medley setup. Same as last week with the sets and weights. This time, going for the parallel grip on the kegs with the carry portion. With how the other parts of this workout had gone, I wasn’t certain I would get an accurate picture of which style was best. Speed with the kegs was definitely better when moving with the lighter set. My only concerns with the heavier set was if I could get the picks to be just as explosive as the light set and if I could hold the stone of steel. I got it easy last week but that was last week and I can’t control the sweat today. The kegs went well, almost like the lighter set. On the stone of steel, the thing slid on me on the pick and I had to pause and adjust it to get it up off my hips. Even with that bobble, I was almost a second faster. Could mean the difference. So something finally went right this session. Stretched out and foam rolled my hamstrings and upper back in front of the fan and then home to decompress.

Went to the chiropractor on Monday to try and get whatever was going on with my upper back to stop. I was nervous (I notice I say that or something similar a lot) as last time it made my SI stuff worse. But at the time, I didn’t know what was wrong. Neck was very tight. Felt some immediate relief in both my SI joint and upper back. So, on to the workout. Last one that is going to have any real intensity to it. Warmed up as per usual on the AMT. Heart rate got to 154bpm. Easy calf work and then into box touches and band rows with biceps stretch again. Shoulders felt good with the stretch. Hamstrings felt tight but no issues with my upper back touching the box this time. Hip airplanes went well, didn’t lose my balance on any reps. Then on to the only weighted exercise of the session. The plan from the start had been circus dumbbell but with what was going on with my upper back, there was a back-up plan to do incline press. Wasn’t sure until I finished everything beforehand if I was doing the dumbbell or incline. Plan for the session was to work up on the pause version and then do five singles on each side done EMOM style, alternating sides each rep. Monitoring everything each lift to see if everything is still good. I didn’t realize until I was at the jump before getting to the bell that I had been 2.5kgs lighter than I thought I had. On the bell, I couldn’t hold the weight at lockout on my right side as it was bothering my thumb too much. I ended up wrapping my wrist a different way the next set and it flew up with no issues. Managed a small PR on the pause, hold and push press style with little effort. The working weight was set at 90% competition weight. The original plan had been competition weight but my difficulty with my right side on consistently getting that weight required a slight decrease in intensity. I had hoped to use my interval timer but the battery was dead so stop watch it was. No issues with the left side with having the wrist wrap on but I had to keep undoing the right side so that my hand didn’t swell and lose feeling. But I managed to get the work done. Definitely going to need to rest up. Home to eat and stretch. Scheduled another chiro session for next Monday and deep tissue massage Tuesday. Just two more light workouts until the real thing.

Still got to keep the focus. Visualizing the events when I go for my walks. Daily light massages to help with recovery. Want to make sure I’m on point day of show. Some aches but not anywhere close to what I was feeling last week. Started out with the AMT. Heart rate topped out at 155bpm. Felt good. Calf raises were ok. Right side felt a little off but still somewhat easy resp. Regular box touches were good. Almost lost count so means they felt easy. Band rows were good too. Aiming for good movement. Biceps stretch was good but right shoulder felt tighter than the left. Squat therapy was alright. Minimal knee achiness. Trying to get my form right and trying to think of hips then knees rather than both at the same time. Hard to get it down pat. Maybe I’m overthinking it. Second run through of box touches (sumo style), band rows and biceps stretch was good. Hip airplanes were tough again. Kept losing my balance on both sides so it took some time to get all the quality reps I needed. Not sure what that was about. No pain so going well. On to weights. Only exercise was box squats. Working up to what I feel is about 50% of what I can do for a max single and then doing triples. Timed rest of two minutes. Trying to work on form. I wasn’t too sure on warm-ups as I didn’t want to overdo it but also didn’t want to be cold for the working sets. I feel like 227kgs is a conservative top single at this time so I went based off of that. First set felt a little heavier than I would have liked. But it felt fine for the other sets. Trying to focus on my form with the hips back and slow decent, staying tight, etc;. Maybe I’m chasing too many rabbits at once. No set really felt like the second set last week which made my knees ache so I think that was good. I did end up rushing the fourth set as I had unracked the weight and someone dropped a deadlift right behind me. Startled me a bit haha. Still priming. One more workout for this cycle. Home to stretch, eat, watch a bad movie, massage and sleep.

Deload week and the workout was something I could do at home. No need of the extra stress of driving. Good thing as I couldn’t fall asleep until after midnight and didn’t wake up until after noon. Warm-up with the sled drag around the block. Been a while. Had to clean spiders off my sled it’s been so long haha. Felt good, little bit of a lower back pump on the injured side. Calf work after that. Still a disparity between the two sides as far as ease of movement but it is still the uninjured side that has the issues keeping up. Then on to box touches, band rows and biceps stretch. Only thing that felt off was my shoulders on the stretch with the left side feeling tighter this time. The box touches and rows felt great. Hip airplanes were better than last workout. I did stand and balance before the actual set to make sure my balance was good. I’ve been forgoing it the past few weeks but it seemed to help this time as no issues with any reps after that. Only exercise with weight on the agenda for today was a drag and push medley. Plan being to do five sets supersetted for 30m each way and then resting a minute between sets. I did a workout similar to this on Christmas Eve last year. I figured I was stronger and better conditioned than I was then so I added weight. I didn’t realize at the time that the rest period had been cut in half between sets. I was a little cocky thinking I didn’t even need to rest. I was wrong. I wasn’t breathing heavy at first but my legs were starting to get fatigued and cramping up. I forgot how much that sucks. Breathing heavy came near the end. Throat felt raw going into that last set. But I finished and times were pretty close on all sets. I think the third set was my fastest. Took a bit too cool down. I didn’t start sweating until I went inside to stretch so that was another thing to deal with. Last workout before the contest. 33 weeks straight of training to get back to this point. Time to put it to the test.

Sugdens 'man' at WSM 2021 Member 1513, 2139 posts SQ 224.5, BP 181, DL 276.5 682.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq	August 5, 2017 – Refuge Barbell Strongman Part 1 I’m really not sure where to start. I generally have a good idea on what I want to talk about after a contest with my write-ups. I feel like talking purely about the contest without context of the preceding events won’t adequately illustrate my mindset and feelings. This one had a lot more riding on it comparatively with any other contest or competition (across all activities I’ve participated in) and I don’t mean in a monetary sense. My last competition was almost 18 months ago. I had ended that competition on a high note and was looking forward to the rest of the year. This was going to be my best year. But two months later, following stupid programming, I ended up injuring my back with light weight in my garage. I’ve had injuries before like this and usually a month would be needed for me to get back to normal. But it wasn’t getting better. It impacted my life to where all I could do was go to work, watch tv, eat and sleep. It hurt to stand for a few minutes. If something fell on the floor, I had to decide if it was important enough to pick up. I was able to read a lot of books and watch a lot of tv shows. This is not to say I didn’t try to come back to training in some capacity. But my attempts seemed to reinjure, even when it was upper body work only. My lack of progress resulted in my previous strength coach dropping me without warning. Medications to reduce the swelling in my spine (along with nerve medication) only provided temporary relief. The nerve medication made me sleepy but provided no relief. I got misinformation with my MRI. I was told it would be available within 24hrs. That ended up being about 3 weeks with daily calls. I was initially told there was no issue and that it might be in my head (over the phone) and then I got to see the doctor and was told it was bulged disc. I was told there was nothing but rest and I may not be back to normal in a year or so. I cried in the office (as they shooed me out for the next patient) and got depressed (more so than usual). Had a lot of dark thoughts. Listening to the same song on repeat for days at a time. Falling into destructive habits to try and grasp some kind of control of my life. Really thinking about what was important. Standing at my brother’s wedding as one of the groomsman was one of the most painful experiences I’ve had. Just standing hurt me. I couldn’t hold my 18 month old nephew or pick up our cat. I had to have family do my yard work for me. I got two injections in my spine and that did help a little but not fully. I finally got a second opinion and was given an injection in my shoulder (I had ended up doing something from my attempts to come back plus my inactivity) and prescribed physical therapy (no one before would approve it). This seemed to help a lot. But it wasn’t without pitfalls as I relapsed once. Then the insurance wouldn’t cover it and the PT didn’t want me to be released until I was completely pain free. I saw the doctor one more time and he approved me to go back to training light. This lead me to get back to training that finally lead up the contest. Over 33 weeks of training to get back. Makes sense when you consider it was almost 7 months of nothing before that. So why this show? Why Kentucky? It just lined up with everything. It was announced well in advance. I was honestly looking at every contest east of the Mississippi River. Talking it over with my folks and looking at each contest with pros and cons. For my first contest back, I probably would have preferred something more local but that wasn’t an issue for me. Two weeks out, I was playing the events over in my head when I went for a walk and right before I went to sleep. Every ache gave me pause. One false move mindset was there as I knew I wasn’t invulnerable and pushing it could lead to something giving. I was finding inspiration and motivation in ordinary things to keep going. Read something in the news and see a new way of thinking about an issue. Even watching television and movies (from House of Cards to Cars 3) I was thinking about how to rethink my outlook. Trying to get it so that I wasn’t overly nervous and anxious leading up to the contest. The biggest help/distraction was reading a manga called “Hajime no Ippo” which is about boxing. It was enough to get my mind right and I didn’t feel stressed out like I usually do leading up a contest. Left work Thursday with my dad and the long trip to Kentucky began. Lots of interesting folks at the few stops made along the way. Showed up the day before at the venue to weigh-in. Derek Stone, the promoter was setting things up and I talked his ear off. Had seen him in person since he won his LW pro card. I weighed in at 284lbs. Definitely the most I’ve weighed for a contest. This was after about five fish filets, mac and cheese, grits and vegetables so I’m probably a little lighter on an empty stomach. I walked around the venue and looked at the equipment and asked my usual questions. I was told there were to be at least five heavyweights competing so that meant top two would qualify for Nats. I had been worried when the number had dropped and then no one was signing up. It didn’t matter how many showed up, I was still going to put in my best effort. Hung out at the hotel a bit when my nephew video called me. He wanted to know if I would pull a truck tomorrow. I told him no, that I would hopefully be lifting one. He then showed me how to pull a truck with a toy dump truck. He didn’t have a harness so it wasn’t really moving anywhere so he eventually sat on it and pushed with his legs. That is certainly one way to do it. Definitely helped me relax a bit. At BBQ and went to bed. Time zone difference was a little disorientating. Kept my watch at EST. Felt like I was a time traveler. Managed to get my breakfast down without dry heaving which is a PR for me day of contest haha. Contest venue was buzzing. As the place was essentially a metal box, no cell reception inside so you had to go outside to update. Real time scoring was going to be posted throughout the day. They also advised they would be moving quick, expecting things to be done in less than five hours. Three lanes going at a time. Did some measuring of equipment (I have a problem) and tested out the lanes to see how my traction would be. Walked around the building at brisk pace for 5 minutes to warm-up and then did a few of the mobility drills to get warm. Rules were explained for the events and short prayer was given before the event. Six heavyweights in total for this show. Time to put up or shut up.

Sugdens 'man' at WSM 2021 Member 1513, 2139 posts SQ 224.5, BP 181, DL 276.5 682.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq	August 5, 2017 – Refuge Barbell Strongman Part 2 The first event was a loading race. 75 seconds to carry and load three implements. Had a 113kgs keg, 113kgs power keg and a 113kgs stone of steel. All had to be carried 12m and loaded over a 1.22m bar. Most shows start with a press event but the promoter wanted to have things start with a medley like WSM usually does. I had only practiced the medley twice but had been building the parts up slowly over the training cycle. I had no doubts I would finish this one and I was expecting to be pushing for first. I had been working on my footwork and transitions after seeing how sluggish I looked at my last contest on the medley. While waiting to go, another heavy weight competitor asked me if I was a heavy weight. Guess I’m not as imposing a figure as I thought. I ended up being second to last to go and I saw quite a few guys fly with them. I was getting nervous. Pressure was on. Horn went and I pulled the keg up explosively. My rehband belt came undone and I bolted with the keg too far out in front of me. And down it went. While it only lasted a second or two, it didn’t feel like it to me. It felt like 33 weeks. Had to shove all those doubts back in and get that keg back up. It felt three times heavier now with my momentum gone. My breathing was off and I felt like I was going to pass out by the time I chucked it over the bar. I ran back to the next implement. I never had a chance to mess around with the power keg before. I figured it was a keg so it wouldn’t be tricky. Maybe it was the drop but it felt tougher than I would have liked picking it up off the ground into my arms. Just felt off, like thinking you’re about to bite into an apple and it turns out it is a potato. But once in my arms, it felt fine and I ran with it and tossed it over. Last one, stone of steel. This was the one giving some people trouble. With how the scoring was, no distance was being given, you had to finish the implements to get time (split times given). I was a little shook from the first keg still so I was little hesitant grabbing a hold of the stone of steel. But I got it secure and “power walked” (no other way to describe it) and loaded that over the bar. Judge told me I was in second with 36.00 seconds. That time held up. I was about 3.5 seconds slower than first place but .10 seconds faster than third. Definitely thinking about how things could have been different. But I have to say the guys ahead of me pressured me to gun it. But off to a good start with a second place. Up next was the circus dumbbell clean and press. 81.5kgs implement and a 60 second time limit. I had been training this and working on getting my issues that cost me points last time (feet not in line). I was expecting five going into this from training but I had doubts. My legs were still shaking from the medley as I warmed up. I had also been expecting these to be longer dumbbells but they ended up being shorted with big bells. I did singles to warm-up with the lighter dumbbells and did the pause and hold style like I’ve been doing. Last warm-up was the contest weight for a single clean to the shoulder to get the feel. Felt off but pressable. Getting 2nd in the loading race, I got to see a couple people go. When it was my turn, five was the number to beat. The commands were given and I went to work. I popped the first one up quick and just about beat the down signal for a warning. It was more from jitters than anything. Went touch and go for the next rep and it felt a little off but still went up. Another touch and go and it just felt off again and I ended up launching it too far out from my center of gravity and had to bail. After that, I just calmed down and did singles. I had thought I only had four when I finished but I was told I got five. I didn’t believe them and asked for the camera to review. I didn’t want that one that I didn’t have any control of to count. But the call was right, I had made six attempts and got five lifts. So that meant I had equaled first with the other two. Also a PR by one rep. The guy that got first on the medley had some issues on the dumbbell and managed only four. If I hadn’t kept forcing the touch and go, I think I could have gotten six for the outright win. The judge stated he was very impressed with my performance as he wasn’t expecting what I did with how long my arms are. This placing had me in first, which was not a spot I was expecting to be in today. The third event was the car deadlift. 12” pick height on a front bar attachment with a 60 second time limit. I doubted I needed the full minute to get what I could. Hard to figure what the weight is going to be at contests so I always have to error on the side of heavy for me. This was going to be the event that I felt would sink me. It was already a weakness before the injury and I’m still coming back to my former strength on deadlifts and squats. I thankfully had the opportunity to train this so that I could get used to the lift and know what I could grind out. The car we lifted was a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. I wanted to get some warm-up in. People were using the lightest setup as seats (ATV) so I went for the next one over, the large pick-up truck. No hard belt on, that felt hard. Enough that I knew I didn’t want to attempt budging our car until it was time to go. The Chevy was the same weight for the 175lbs on up and thankfully no more weight was added. I couldn’t afford to bomb an event. I went last since I was in first so I knew what to expect. I had no illusions of getting first (13 reps) or second (9 reps). My goal was to get more than 0. I got set and pulled. It moved but I wasn’t in the right groove. I readjusted my stance and got up a hard rep. One down. Goal achieved. But I had another one in me. Another rep and another loud grunt/bark. I took a longer rest and put everything into on more pull. This one was a grinder. Loud grunt to lockout. Eye sight was like pinholes, just waiting for the down command. I was done and I had to kind of collapse to try and get the straps off. Someone told me to go for four for points and I shouted back that four would put me in the hospital. Turns out it was Derek and he said that wouldn’t be a good idea as it isn’t a very good one. My effort was enough to tie for 3rd and keep me a float. Weakest event out of the way and only off 2nd place by .5pts. Had to have my traps massaged immediately afterwards to get them to relax for the next event. The next event for the day was farmer’s walk. 152kgs for 20m with a 60 second time limit. I had been confident in this one leading up to the show. That was until my testing day where I failed to complete the course. I just had to get over it by telling myself it was from the cumulative fatigue from the hard training and from the extreme heat and humidity that day. I can usually hold on to anything once I get it off the ground. But the specter of doubt was still very much present. Pick wasn’t as low as the handles I was training on but with how much the deadlift took out of me, it was possible that this was going to be a struggle to even get the weights off the ground. I had two light warm-ups (tried to simulate training) to get ready for the run. The guy who bombed the car deadlift finished the course in about the time that I would do it. I figured that would happen. The next two couldn’t get the handles off the ground. Not a good sign. These handles were solid pieces of metal so you felt the full weight, no flex or nothing. It was a slow pick and I started moving. I wasn’t certain my grip would hold until I was about half way down the course and once I knew I was good, I was able to pick up speed. And as I usually do, I held the handles for a few seconds at the finish and lowered them slowly to the ground. Ended up getting 13.25 seconds. Most bigger shows have had higher pick farmer’s so this was actually a PR over my training times from the lower pick heights. Another nod of approval from the judge as he was surprised with my footwork for my build. First place blistered the course in 9.28 seconds. Another second place for me and back in second place. The final event was the stone of steel. 136kgs over 1.27m with a time limit of 60 seconds. I started with the empty stone of steel and worked my way up from there during my recovery. This is actually the exercise I was doing in my garage that my back went on all those months ago so I had to prove a point. I’d been beating this thing up in training regularly. Only time I had doubts was when it came to that darn testing day where I was a sweaty mess and got just four lifts with the contest weight. I was beat by this point. Still willing to do what needed to be done. Midsection and lower back wanted to cramp up so I kept my rehband belt on to keep them warm. There was cushioned chair that was out in the competitor’s area and I just sat in it until it was close to go time. Like a boxer waiting in the corner, waiting for the final round to start. Waiting for the bell. I got to see everyone but 1st place go before me. When I was up, the number to beat was six. It didn’t matter if the number to beat was one, I was going all in. Conditions were perfect and I had no issues lifting it. Just the right amount of effort used so that I could control it up and over for the helper to return it quickly. I doubt I could really extend much higher with the fatigue. I got eight reps to beat the number my training partner had gotten at his contest earlier this year. The rep had bobbled a little so I really slowed it down to get one more for nine. I definitely could have gone up another gear if needed. Lettering on the stone of steel peeled off on my arms and looked like it was saying “FU”. Guy in first, Nick, managed to get eight for second. This was a big PR as he had never gotten that weight before in contest for one. A first place for me. With my consistency, I was able to get 2nd place. Too many mistakes for first and I need to keep working on my deadlift strength. I got what I wanted out of this contest and more. I completed the show with no injuries and no return of pain. I grinded out heavy deadlifts and farmer’s walk without form breaking. I lifted a weight on the stone of steel that was almost 27kgs heavier than the weight that I injured myself for nine reps with some in the tank. I put in the effort and qualified for Nationals. That was something I wasn’t expecting. I was hoping it would be the case but you never know. Some rust still needs to come off and I will be on top of my game. I think as long as I still can “make excuses” for why I’m not done or reached my peak, I still have the drive to keep going forward. I also got to compete again and it is a different feeling. I missed it. But now, I need to get some rest. A week off will do me some good.
