Congratulations there mate - brilliant result!

I'd be keen to see how you're planning to work up to the axle record too. It's sat at 212kg, if memory serves?

UKs Strongest Man 2020

Won't do a full write up as barely anyone reads this Tongue

Day 1:

450kg yoke 20m no drops allowed
Managed about 5m, should be a great event for me but competing at night time seemed to get me and I just couldn't get going, 2nd to last place

Max silver dollar deadlift, i managed 440kg which is close to a 20kg PB and good enough for 3rd place, I left it there as I wouldn't have got 2nd

Log medley 100-180 hit a fast 3 one motioning them all then had a token effort on the 160 but that was half arsed, I knew a fast 3 would get me to day 2


Day 2:

Farmers walk 150kg gas cylinders 40m no drops allowed, 37 seconds, this went brilliantly, no one else finished in either group, perfect start!

Arm over arm pull
Very rusty on this but came 2nd just completing the course in time

Stones 100-160
Didnt need many points so very carefully loaded the 130 in the rain and left it there

Final
Sandbag loading 100 to 180
Loaded the 140 bag but was the slowest so 4th place

Truck pull
7th place need to train this harder, giving away a lot of bodyweight that I need to make up for

Dumbbell medley 80-120
Managed the 100kg dumbbell but again was the slowest to do so, 4th place

Squat for reps, this was changed as a few guys failed it and they dropped the weight which meant I was out first, hit a very tough 9 reps and then got timed out, 3rd place but got unlucky having to go first

Power stairs 200/215/230
Was comfortably in 4th going in but couldn't really catch 3rd as felix was always gonna be good at this, set a decent time just trying to be careful and secure 4th so that worked

Overall 4th place, best placing at uks but not what I wanted. Felt really strong but my best events were in the first 2 days so it was always gonna be a slog. Positive overall though, made some big gains so feeling excited for the next phase of training! Going to be doing a 4 week power phase before going back to the deadlift specific phase and working on that 400kg pull

I for one read it but I'm sure there's plenty of others that do too.

May have been favourite to win for some but in reality as you said, final events just not good for you an I think that's a great performance overall.

Thanks mate, yeah I got picked by a few guys but I knew the final events didn't suit me as well as day 1 and 2

I like the idea of not allowing drops on the yoke and farmers. Not heard of that before.
