Congratulations that's a lot of weight to be giving up in a class, well done!!! So you're really taking it down to 175? I saw that a few days ago and it stuck in my head.
Thank you, I was definitely the smallest guy there. lol. It was close. If I had performed up to my abilities on the yoke and stones I could have won my class. And yes I'm headed to the 175 class. I have to look at my calendar but I think my next show is 8 weeks out. I'm not sure if I will make it to 175 by then, but I definitely will be 175 for the June show. Years ago I competed in the 175 and 200 pound class. I always placed best in the 175 class, I've added some muscle since then, so it may be a little tougher to get down there. We'll see.

Dude it was a blast. It's been 5 years since my last competition, now I can't wait for the next one. I did forget the extreme doms that comes after a strongman show, yesterday I spent a lot of time rolling and stretching. Anytime I wasn't rolling or stretching I was eating or sleeping. Gotta love it!

Sandbags, kegs, logs, stones all that stuff is impressive, but car deads are just sick. Probably because deep down inside we all want to lift a car over our heads LOL.

On the log tonight I was working on jerking it. I was able to jerk the 140 pretty good, and the first couple of sets with 180. After that I ended up pressing them out. My jerk needs practice. Also I attempted some muscle ups after the superset. I was close, but not tonight. Diet and all seems to be going well. Scale said 186 today.
