Member 1676, 304 posts SQ 260, BP 192.5, DL 363 815.5 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq	I'm Eddie and I've been competing (attempting) strongman for a couple of years and I've decided to become a more active member of this forum starting by keeping a training journal to track and share my training performance, I'm planning on posting updates regularly with videos when I can. As I've hit a bit of a brick wall when it comes to the maxes I'm most bothered about and I'm looking for advice and suggestions to improve on technique, etc. Main goals are to get a lot heavier on squats and overhead pressing an increase on deadlift would be nice aswell. I'm making a big effort to improve my fitness/endurance and grip strength as I think this has let me down in the strongman comps I've done so far. My current maxes and what I'm going to get them to be... Squat 220kg... want to be pushing 250ish so I've got a way to go! Bench 157.5kg... 160kg+ (probably don't bench enough to be fair) Deadlift 310kg... Want 322.5kg for rather irrational reasons I won't go into Log press and Push press 125kg... 140kg region C&P 110kg... Personally I feel like this is my weakest event, as I'm seriously unflexible and I've probably relied too much on belt/belly cleans in the past. Anyway here it goes starting tomorrow...
