Tonights session was just to see how my pressing was holding up after pulling the delt on sunday.
The verdict seems to be that its fairly painful, but the strength is all still there. The 105 strict flew up.

Will try a little strict work on the log on sunday and that will be it until the comp. Confident i will be in fighting shape to compete and throw up a few reps with the 130 log, even if it makes me swear a bit.

10/4 - elite northerns strongest

Plan for this one was just to secure a top 5 spot and get the invite to englands.

130 log for reps

Did 4 reps on this, first 3 were a piece of cake, 4th was a bit harder. This was enough for 4th place so i left it there.

285 deadlift

No warm up at all on this, came back from the toilet just in time to hear my pair called up.
Pulled fairly cautiously and stopped as soon as they got hard.
4 reps, joint 3rd with a few guys i believe.

130 farmers walk

first pair up on this, with some slippy handles so really made hard work of it.
Only completed 26.4m.
By far my worst event of the day, probably 7th or 8th place on this one.

350 tyre flip

Last pair up on this, since id seen what everyone else had done i knew what i needed to do.
Blitzed the first 4 and then eased off a bit and coasted the second half.
4th place.

145 stone over yoke

Id checked the scores going into this event and knew all i needed was to match the guys in 5th and 6th place and id be assured a top 4 spot, since we were going in order of our places i would get to see them lift before me, so i was feeling good.
Sadly the guy just before me suffered a fairly bad accident (suspected dislocated knee) and was still on the floor awaiting an ambulance when they called me up to lift. I was really pooing my pants now.
I very cautiously did the first 3 reps and then started to feel a bit more comfortable and forgot about the guy on the floor a few feet away.
Did another couple which guaranteed my top 4 spot and then stopped.
3rd place.


Overall, 3rd place. Should probably have finished 4th but one of the guys ahead of me played it safe with a pulled biceps and skipped the final event so i overtook him.

Happy enough with the result. Never really gave it more than 90%, and while i probably should have done better on a couple of events its nice to now be at a level where i dont have to give 101% and risk injury on every event just to avoid finishing dead last.

Englands is the 24th of July, which is just before i go on holiday so I won't miss out (which was a fear given that from the last week of july to the end of august im almost never on english soil). I will be going all out at Englands to try and secure an invite to elite Brits and a chance to qualify for the Arnolds.

Back to the graft today, just hitting plenty of volume, the PBs were a nice bonus, but neither was close to a max effort set.

Didnt train monday night as my back was shot from Sunday.

Squats felt strong tonight, but sadly my current gym lacks a good bar and the one i was using was basically spaghetti at 250 so didnt dare go any higher.
Dropped down to 200 as a mate of mine had hit 200 * 9 earlier today. Managed the 12 reps without a breather, which is an awesome improvement on my usual fitness levels. Probably had about 15 there if id bothered to take a breather somewhere in there.

Training is going great at the minute, hitting PBs for fun. Peak looks to have come at just the right time ahead of UKSC Northerns.

I have gotten a few of my PBs over the last couple of weeks on video. I will get round to linking them at some point this week.
