left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	Background Strongman wanna-be, 118kg, did plenty of comps, mostly battling for bottom positions, fluked some comps for nice position, went heavier and heavier, tore pec tendon, lost 13kg and all strength. During the rehab got fitter, some could say even faster and more explosive, and built some of the strength back up. Bodyweight now at 104-105kg with a great set of hair. The rehab log is now over, its time to start looking forwards. Strength is still behind, maybe at around 80%, depending on the lift. Back squats and pressing are especially behind, front squats and deadlifts are feeling good. Feeling good enough about my training now to start planning my next comp build ups. The training will still be cautious, maybe paranoid, and balls wont hit the wall still for a while. Main goal The whole summers build up is for this competition: FINLANDS STRONGEST MAN U105kg QUALIFIERS, Friday 31st of July: Medley: sack loading x 2 + 120kg farmers for 20m + tyre flip x 2. Head to head. Log medley 100, 110, 120 , 130 , 140 Farmers 120kg for 60 m. head to head Truck pull with harness 20-25 m Car deadlift for max Main lifts - Log press back to where it was, 115kg - Nail the farmers walks with the goal to get 60m with 120kg farmers, which would be double the all time PB - Deadlift, big PBs are expected - and necessary - here. LETS GO!

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	Thanks for the encouragement everyone, much appreciated! Its going to be a slow build up - but at least it is a f**king build up! OLYMPIC SPORTS GYM couple beasts and bunch of mortals in attendance. Felt like didnt do much, but now looking at it, i guess i got some work in. Warm ups Baby log 5x52 5x52 3x52 5x62 3x72 3x81 2x86 2x90 then tried to wrestle with the thick log which is 97.5kg empty, but am too weak for it at the moment to give it a good try. Farmers walks 40m x 70 40m x 90 40m x 60 40m x 80 40m x 80 farmers holds 2 sets of about 15 secs with 120s. squats 5x20 5x60 5x100 8x2x115 Mark got a beautiful big fat tyre, gave it one careful flip. Will be great to nail that for reps during the summer.
