Top tips for re-peaking
-
1) Don’t go straight in to lifting heavy. Get off the barbell for a week.
2) Focus on their weak points with a conjugate style.
3) Don’t go full send.

We genuinely run amazing comps Stag Fitness Strength Centre
-
We make sure we run everything smoothly, fairly and precise. This team strongman/woman comp was probably my favourite. We had such a mix of teams.
- A son stepping into team with his mam (the dad pulled a hammy in warm ups)
- Father and daughter.
- Brother and sister.
- Couples, friends and training partners
The whole day was absolutely awesome. We will 100% be running another team comp next summer.
A special shout out to everyone who helped out.
We have such a high functioning team whether it’s strongman or powerlifting.

On to the next one team!
Not going Ham on your accessory work leads to increased injury risk and an increase chance of you looking like a prepubescent child.

Over the moon with how yesterday went.
-
1) Kratos Deadlift. 300kg. I managed 4 reps which was a 2 rep PB. Buzzing. Joint 1st with
2) Sandbag carry. 120 into 140. Best I’ve moved them as a pair. Carried them both the full distance but didn’t load the 140kg bag. PB for distance carrying the bags.
3) Circus DB ladder. 50-60-70 which was a PB I hit in the run missed the 80 kg sadly. This came in dancing. 3rd place.
4) Sandbag toss. Only disappointment of the day. I’ve been nailing a fast 3 in training which was the goal and I just couldn’t get the 22kg over. Second last.
5) Keg run.100-110-120, loaded to a flat bed. Only had one keg to train with at 90kg so I didn’t know how this would come in. Was an all out sprint against my good pal Managed all 3 kegs in 28s second last.

Overall I came 5th out of 8 lads. Highest place in an opens competition.
