Who said it's hardcore? Member 3896, 847 posts SQ 265, BP 150, DL 320735.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | Time to keep a more structured plan. Have finally moved into my own place with my girlfriend (she lifts) and settling into a nice routine. Use to keep a really healthy log but spent most of this year just getting back into training and competing. Set up my goals for the next 5 years and it starts here. Goal 1 - Qualify for England's Strongest Man Goal 2 - Place in top 3 of ESM Goal 3 - Place in top 5 of UKSM Lofty goals but I have good training partners in Simon Johnston will be training more with Graham Hicks and hopefully Paddy McMahon. Taking a few weeks off strongman training to let a few post-comp injuries heal up and then my training plan begins. 01.09.14 - 05.10.14 06.10.14 - 09.11.14 10.11.14 - 21.12.14 22.12.14 - 25.01.14 26.10.14 - 01.03.14 02.03.14 - 05.04.14 This roughly 30 weeks of training to take me up to my first strongman comp of 2015 on the 7th March. Goals to hit in this period: 125kg Axle Press for 5 reps 150kg Log Press 320kg Deadlift 250kg squat for 5 reps 125kg Strict Press 440kg Yoke 200kg Front Squat Diet wise I'm dialled in with plenty of oats, chicken, some red meat, veggies etc. Nothing too sweet or loaded with crap. Plenty of clean calories. Cutting out alcohol full stop. Not a big deal for me as I rarely drink anyway. I know what needs to be done to get to a certain standard. Just have to get out there and do it. | ||

Cheers. I'm better at repping stuff out than max singles for some reason. I think it's a mental thing but having strength endurance is something worth suffering with I guess haha | ||

Cut toe in half = bad day. Member 4359, 3581 posts SQ 270, BP 140, DL 310720.0 kgs @ 137kgs UnEq | Nice work on the OH mate, you should be chucking 150 up if you can hit 130 triples. How do you train grip? | ||

How do you train grip? I'm still only a few days in recovering from my comp last Saturday so still a little sore. Taking it a little easy this week to avoid any injuries and from next week I'll turn it up a notch mentally. I probably could have lifted the 140kg as the 130kg was easy mate. Just didn't have it in my head to go much heavier than that. | ||

Who said it's hardcore? Member 3896, 847 posts SQ 265, BP 150, DL 320735.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | 30.09.14 Been away fighting an infection in hospital. Grim stuff. Nearly had leg amputated. Very lucky boy. Still fighting the infection but well enough to return to gym last night. 250kg deadlift for a single then 180kg for 3 sets of 8. Couple of other bits and that was it. Off on holiday on Friday so it was just a session to see where I was. During holiday I'll be doing plenty of swimming, eating mainly meat only and training a little in the hotel gym in the mornings before breakfast. Should come back jacked and tanned. | ||

Hope I'll soon be walking properly again. Leg still needs some muscle growth following the infection but strength is ok. Good place to start from and build the base. | ||
