After not training or competing much for most of this year I have managed to get back into a decent run of training and am aiming for the Scotland's Strongest Man Qualifier in March and possibly the 105s depending on when it is and if I can get time off work for it.

Yeah it is good having someone to push you on. Looking forward to the qualifier as i think it is a fairly decent set of events for me, the standard is always getting better though so will need to put in some serious work to have any hope of qualifying.

Saturday 20 december

Missed a couple of sessions this week due to work so todays session ended up being a bit of a mish-mash of different things.

Deadlift

200Kg x 5
220kg x 3 sets of 3
240kg x 1

Suit on

260Kg x 3
270kg x 1, my form was pretty ropey on the suited pulls but i think i am just a bit out of practice with the suit.

Axle

110Kg x 3
115kg x 3 sets of 2, my form on the jerks is a bit sloppy due to lack of practice and it is becoming more of a jerk press, managing to press them out though which i never used to be able to do.

Dumbell

Right arm

50Kg x 2 sets of 8

left arm

2 Sets of 5

A decent session i suppose. Should manage to get back on track next week.

Missed a few days of training as I was suffering with various knocks and scrapes after some idiot decided he wanted to fight with me while I was working on hogmanay.

Monday 5 January

Strict Log

80kg x 2 sets of 4 and 2 sets of 3, these felt heavy today, hence the missed reps. Also tweaked my lower back a bit aggravating it after hurting it playing rugby a few months back.

Log (push press)

90kg x 3 sets of 5

Incline Log

90kg x 2 sets of 5, lower back was cramping so dropped my last set.

Finished off with some db lateral raises and chins.

A fairly ordinary session today and a tad frustrating that my lower back keeps niggling away. Got a decent bit of work in though.

Happy new year pal, nice to see you back in training. Take it you're still in the police and not off on the rigs?
