christmas is over so time to get stronger and slimmer faster!

5 sets of 3, burning the weight off is my focus now that I did the highland games, see if I cant drop 90LB by christmas

leg day starts with squats followed by elevated deadlifts these felt like a nice way to build my power.

Farmer Walk carrys at 65LB Every minute on the minute to traine grip and burn fat, I manged 10 sets before I could no longer hold on to the farmers. #weightloss #workout #fitness #strongman #cardio

Usually deadlift on my hex bar as comps have frames in them this year. trying to do a standard bar deadlift once a month, definitely feeling the difference in my shoulders and back between the two bars.

some #farmerswalk for #cardio after the #workout 100lb per hand 10 sets, lights the forearms up as well. I may not be able to hold my phone later from the pain lol #weightloss #fattostrong #sweat #grip

100LB per hand Farmers walks, 50feet down then back every min on the min, I made it to 8, the pug made it tell 3 then got bored.

First day back to working out after catching the dreaded Covid, wasn't to bad really. Going light this week to just get back in the groove, next week is volume work for 2 weeks then into movign some weight.

Time to get ready, slimmin down while building strength

just the overhead day, focus is on no leg drive at all to clean up my technique with this.

Just my main lift for Overhead day, strict press outta the rack, not my strongest specially compared to my continental clean and press.

my max is 7 of these, then I am so thankful I have no hair to shampoo the next day. This is basically to just finish my upper body and work on fat loss. This is one of the most painful conditioning I have but one day I will be able to do 10 sets.

Did some Push Press with a pause at the top at 144LB. Felt great, first few were shaky but about third set in was good to go.

about 30 of these I am shot, first 12 are rough kinda like this one as I get into the technique then I have like a good 6 tosses then it all goes south. Does work the whole body though.

it really is different using this bar over a standard barbell let alone doing this workout after squats. trying to get more leg drive into this by leaning back, but I still lack mobility.

Squats today, always take it easy as I am already heavy as it is, and I am not a powerlifter. Felt good though, sure two days alter I wont think that.

10LB heavier than last weeks training, did 3 sets of 1, its more a focus on keeping my mid-core braced as I get heavier. Had my cousin over to train with me for a bit.

First time doing this event really, just making sure I have a heavy enough weight to challenge me and get my technique down, figure couple more weeks I should feel comfy pushing it hard.

Pretty much this was my weapon for two months first time doing it after squats and can I feel a difference. 300LB for 3 sets of 4. This bar always makes you feel like a super man.

Haven't had squats really in my workout in 2 months as I was focused on training for a frame deadlift. So did 3 sets of 274LB at 1 rep, more than enough to feel the weight on my back.

Felt pretty comfortable at this weight but gotta ease back into the heavyweight after about month away from the gym. hopefully doing a strongman competition at a lower weight next year. 3 sets of 45 reps at 135LB.
