Thor Strength

Thor Strength I help adults and athletes get stronger through practical strongman and strength training - whether they want to build real-world strength or compete.

The idea of Thor Strength began in 2014. Over the years it has grown from being just a basement mobility workout to a beach conditioning class to a well-rounded program based on strength, core stability, mobility and general physical preparedness (GPP). Strength and core stability have become the main pillars used to guide members of our team to a more successful future. Mobility is the structural integrity of the pillars, allowing us to move more freely and without limitations. GPP is our interior design, established to complement our strength movements, eliminate muscle imbalances and promote better mental and physical conditioning. What began as a personal training side-gig has transitioned into a professional coaching community of teammates who encourage others to join the family.

All the lifts!

Log press went smoothly. Still some work has to be done on my technique. But my off season really paid off to help me through.

Deadlifts were smoother. Those first two attempts flew up. By breaking the record on my second attempt, I gave myself the green light to swing for the fences. But it was glued to the floor. Next time!

Tied the world record on log.
Broke the world record on deadlift.
Broke the world record on total weight.
Then went back to NY and broke my personal record on pizza eating.

ran an amazing show.

Back from Static Monsters. Not quite back home yet.

So just be prepared for all things related to the competition.

We finished with a…
115kg/253lb log (tied World Record)
350kg/771lb deadlift (new World Record)

For a total of…
465kg/1,025lbs (new World Record)

I’m very happy with my performance. I achieved what I was hoping to achieve. I can’t wait to get back to it!

Competition checklist 📋

✅ lifting shoes
✅ hard belt
✅ soft belt
✅ knee sleeves
✅ lifting straps x✌️
✅ tape
✅ resistance band
✅ chalk
✅ headphones

All the things I normally wear for either the log or the deadlift. If anything is broken or forgotten, there’s always a good chance that someone will help you out. But don’t assume that. Always over prepare.

Now let’s get to the airport and make our way to Phoenix!

Last deadlift of prep.

My plan is to open somewhere around 725lbs.

When I’m prepping for a max lift in a comp, I aim to lift 90% of my first attempt the week of. It’s generally a weight that I’ve worked with many times and so I’m not overreaching.

If you’re training to hit a max lift, or would like to, reach out and I’ll help walk you through what weight jumps to do and what attempts you should go for.

Last reps on log press

3 singles at 225lbs.

I’m very big on working at submaximal weight the week of a comp. And the focus is for the reps to look identical and move well. This wasn’t the case this time around! 🤦🏽‍♂️

BUT the cleans were close to perfect and I felt very in control. That’s also important.

I’m gunna focus on that and now we use the rest of the week to recover and mentally prepare!

In the home stretch now!

Not feeling super strong. But the expectation is that after this week of recovery, I’ll be physically more ready. And once we make weight, I can eat all I want! I might be more excited for that.

Let’s analyze the progress we made on log press. It’s a little frustrating that my max gym press has only gone up 5 total pounds.

BUT…in the previous prep, I was constantly missing reps at 225+. During this prep, 225 has become nothing more than a warm up that I don’t have to think too much about. That’s huge! I’m very content with that kind of progress…knowing that my, although my ceiling hasn’t change too much, my floor has been raising significantly.

Remember, it’s not always about what you can do on your best day. That doesn’t come often. Focus on what you can accomplish on your off day, your normal day, when your sore, tired, in a bad mood.

Deadlifts are done. And the data proves progress. I’ve been more consistently and cleanly lifting 700+ and my recovery has been smooth.

I have to remind my clients that the top end number maybe not be changing a whole lot, but the fact that we’re getting more familiar with (what used to be considered) heavier weights means we’re building strength.

I have more more log press session to go and I’m expecting something similar.

On a regular basis, I walk around at a heavier weight than the class I compete in. This is very common among most strength sports.

Just because I’m dropping those pounds, doesn’t mean that weight stays off. I’ve done my research and figured out what I need to do in order to make weight, while still being able to perform at my best.

Once I make weight, it’s off to rehydrate and refuel.

So please disregard me. I will be tired, sore and hungry until then. ✌️

Compare, compare, compare.

It’s essential to compare how specific weights move. The heaviest deadlift of this prep was 775. The last attempt of the qualifier was 765. A 10lbs difference, but the heavier weight moved smoother.

Shaking isn’t a bad thing. It’s our body fighting to stay in the correct position. Notice that there’s less/no shaking in the most current lift. This is a sign that my strength has improved!
