Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 28.04.2013 @ 20:19 PM by shortandmighty 28/4/13 Scotland's Strongest Man U90kg. Left home at 6.30 for the 3 hour drive down to Glasgow, picking up Scotty and Leggiez on the way. Was a little concerned about weight, I was 90.4kg this morning with no breakfast. Arrived about 9.35 and just scraped in at 89.9kg. Did a few deadlifts for warm up and stretching and got massive butterflies in the stomach! 1st Event Max deadlift rising bar. Started at 200 easy lift, 220,240 were pretty much the same, 260 was a bit harder but got it ok. 270 up next, got strapped in and ready. Started the pull and came up but then something in lower back went wrong, tried to pull through it but couldn't and dropped the bar pretty quickly and lost balance. Joint 5th 260kg. 2nd event Overhead Medley. WAS NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. I have never pressed a 53kg circus dumbell before today. Picked it up to the shoulder and took a couple of attempts to balance it. Pressed the thing, it was a little scrappy but went up. Next was 100kg axle, this felt very light and I pressed it easy. 105kg log next, cleaned it ok but just could not press it. It felt very heavy! 7th place, not great. 2 in 32.14 seconds 3rd Event Car Deadlift Hold Now this I was looking forward to and was fully expecting to do well. Picked it up fine and just locked it out. It felt light compared to what I've been doing and have to admit I did a little bit of showboating Chuffed to bits with my first event win and by a whole 13 seconds. 1st Place Wahey. 46.7 seconds 4th Event 270kg Yoke 3x10m Felt ok going into this, just picked it up and went with it. First 10m was fine if not the fastest, 2nd was much better, 3rd not so good. Had a problem with my left knee half way and managed to finish it before it gave out on the line and I ended up on the floor. 5th place 29.22 seconds 5th Event Medleey 80kg sandbag, 90kg sandbag, 100kg barrel, 150ish duck walk. all 20m Watched a few people not finish this, which turned out to be quite a brutal medley. First sandbag felt easy, fumbled the second one abit and lost time. Barrel was ok, I've been practising this a lot. Duck walk was not nice as usual, managed to smash my ankles well (which was nice), had to put it down once because my legs wanted to stop. Finished in a decent time. 4th place 85.16 seconds 5th and last event 120kg Stone over yoke wasn't sure how this was going to go, I struggled to get 3 last weekend after a few yoke runs. Shouldn't have worried really, learnt from previous mistakes and used a lot less tacky. 6 Reps in 70.05 seconds. Finished 4th place overall, 6.5 points off 3rd place. Really pleased with another consistent performance. A couple of small mistakes and still need to improve the yoke and overhead but I'm getting there. Overall one of the best competitions I've done and all credit to Stuart Yule and Youngy for organising it. All being well I'll be back next year, stronger, faster and pushing for top 3.

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275 650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Sounds like a good performance dave, looking forward to seeing the videos. Like you say if you can get yoke and pressing sorted you'll be looking good.

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	01/05013 Axle Deadlifts 3" deficit (Raw) 50x10 DOH 100x6 DOH 150x5 Mixed grip 190x3 Mixed Belt On 230x1 Straps Normal Height (belt and straps) 230x2 210x4 Log 85x3 90x3 95x1 100xf Deadlift stance Axle squats 70x10 100x8 120x6 150x5 170x3 Just a little bit to ease back into training. 230 deficit is probably some kind of pb but not sure and don't really care. Log felt terrible, the line was all wrong and aggravated my shoulder.

SLDL 150x6 170x5 190x5 Felt strangely easy, had to double check the weights on the bar. Axle From Rack 50x8 70x5 80x3 100x1 100x3 altered hand position 110 xf (just missed lockout) 110xf same again. Had an experiment in mixing protein shakes tonight, big success. Banana BSN True Mass and chocolate Dymatize elite Gourmet mixed together make a very tasty shake Happy with that. The squats are really coming along, on course for 250 in the next few months. deadlift felt heavy after the squats but I expected that. Axle flet really good for once and I'm sure 110+ is there a bit fresher.

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	5/5/13 Rodger, I thought the squats were good and then Shane goes and does bloody 7!! Today Barrel Carry 73kgx30m turn at 15 100kgx30m turn at 15 125x15m 1st pick up was crap and took a couple of attempts to get the position right 125x15m, legs buggered. Yoke, Farmers medley 200x12, 95x15 240x12, 105x15 280x12, 115x15 Arm over Arm 95x20m? ish. 150x10m lost grip 130x some distance? 120x15?m Felt quite lacklustre and sluggish today. The barrel carry was very hard and really took a lot out. Arm over arm was very hard going on grass and 150 felt like trying to pull a mountain. Need to get my head out my arse!

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	9/5/13 Did some pressing stuff on Monday but it was so woeful I can't even be bothered to write it up. Wednesday Deadlifts DOH Raw 50x10 100x8 150x6 200x3 DOH, Belt 220x3 Mixed Grip 240x1 Straps 240x1 Felt really hard 210x12 wanted to get some reps in, could have easy got 15 but got bored Speed Deads 190x3 x3 Thick handle dumbell rows 50x6 x3 Good mornings 3 sets of 8 Band face pulls and band pull aparts for shoulder rehab Not too bad although the 240 deadlifts felt far heavier than it should have done. Felt good to get some reps in for a change and happy I could have got an easy 15 if I could be bothered. Definitely need to get back on the 531 program after next Sunday.

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Friday 11/5/13 Band pull aparts, face pulls etc to warm up shoulders Squats (beltless) 70x10 100x8 150x6 190x3 Belt on 210x3 wraps 220x1 240x1 PB 170x10 high bar Front squats 70x10 100x6 120x5 120x5 120x5 Keg pick ups 100x3 125x3 125x3 18" Deads 150x6 DOH 190x5 DOH 230x3 1 DOH, 2 mixed grip 260x1 straps A good end to the week, squats are going very well at the minute and 240 was fairly comfortable and the 220 just flew up. Deadlifts are a different story though, form feels all wrong but I'm sure they will come back in time for next Sundays Euro Qualifier.
