Solid log PB! at all costs , just means raining in fully going for lifts across the board at the same time I think , just planning the next phase of the log work , somehow have to get the stricts back in as they seem to be crucial but after pp at moment I have no shoulder strength left | ||

To be honest I haven't, as such, I've really put an emphasis on speed work, but the majority of my deadlifting work has been heavy stiff legs, and then triples and singles on conventional deadlifts once a week. Slowly but surely building up. Hadn't noticed your 300kg lift before! Good job. Competing at Bolton Strongman this year? | ||

Competing at Bolton Strongman this year? not as yet but perhaps if someone drops out , planning overall less strongman this year 1 or 2 comps with the majority of the focus on the powerlifts and overhead , Bolton's is more a cardio fest this year which just doesn't appeal or fall in line with my long term goals of getting stronger | ||
