2/22 Deadlift

I did some power cleans to start out, something like 3 sets at 245.

Deads I worked up to 475 for 11, then did a single at 550 for fun.

I tried to do some farmers after and they didn't go well.

I did some ab stuff and then some hangs. My grip is shot from the strongman comp and my body still feels like shit so it wasn't a great day.

2/19 KC Strongman Challenge

I won the heavyweight class.

I ended up with a 280 log press for a PR. I tied for second in this event.

I got 3rd in the keg carry medley, but I'm pretty sure I should have gotten second. Regardless, I know that I need to get conditioning in line.

I don't want to talk about the Husafelt stone.

I ended up loaded a 368 stone and just missed the 380 and got second in the stone load.

Overall, it was a very fun day and great way to start competing in strongman.

Last week or so.

I deloaded the week of 1/31. I did almost all of my lifts except squat with my new axle. I wanted to work my grip a little with deads and just wanted to feel it benching.

Friday night I went to Alliance. Saturday I built a prowler and drove back to Omaha.

Sunday 2/6 Strongman at The Jungle.

Axle Clean and Press
Warmup and worked up to 230.

230 was easy so I went to 250.

250 was easy so I went to 270 which was probably the cleanest and fastest axle press I have ever done.

Went to 300 for an all time overhead PR on any lift. It was slow and ugly, but I lost my grip on the pull so I think if I would have over undered it to begin with it would have looked a lot better.

Circus DB

127 easy
went to 147 and missed and didn't push it as my shoulders aren't feeling the greatest.

Stones
Worked up to 330 to tie my last best. It was easy.
360 went up well too
The 400 stone is a whole different animal since it is a different size. I got it off the ground but couldn't lap it.

2/16 Deadlift

Felt. Like. Shit
I'm not even going to say what I did because I'm embarrassed.

2/17 Overhead at Jobes
Worked up to 250 on the log. I need to figure out the damn clean on this because the press is easy.

Did some stones. Loaded the 360 3 times and some others before.

Nothing else exciting.
