These videos were taken on February 4th 2022. These clips were from my yoke set. The first clip was 465lbs, and I did it for 4 reps. The second clip was 485lbs, and I did that for 2 reps.
On a side note, I now know what sound a bone makes when it breaks.

I had my first competition on April 30th, and after having some time to think I figured I'd reflect on my experience.
The competition was Chinooks strongest in Calgary, Alberta and despite coming into the competition severely under qualified resulting in an expected outcome of last place. Not even being able to get a single rep in any of the events. Still my experience was positive and despite my poor performance everyone there was supper supportive and encouraging. There was a great sense of comradery that really helped me feel more comfortable there, and really encouraged me to keep going.
While I lost I don't feel defeated, I still want to keep going and continue training. With my first competition out of the way I feel more comfortable going into my next competition this weekend. I feel more confident and feel I'll be able to make a little improvement over my last competition.
Decided to do a slightly different video this time. More so I can better demonstrate the progress I am making.
Basically I went from being able to do only one rep at a time with 145kg to begin able to do five reps in a row at 145kg. I also went from doing one rep at a time at 155kg to doing 3 reps in a row at 150kg and doing rep at a time at 160kg. I was only able to get 4 reps at 160kg, but I'm still happy and see myself making great forward progress. I also increased my bench to 120kg, and it actually moved really well I was surprised I was able to pull three reps of in a row.
I was a bit worried coming into this work out, because I ended up ending my workout early on Friday due to a combination of working out a friend's gym - though I could make my workout fit the new gym, but it didn't and just a sense of feeling burt out. I think I hit a bit of a wall, so I took the weekend to relax and recover and it seems I've come back stronger. Just need a little room to breathe.
Another factor that I think helped with my strength increas is was, one: I had changed up my stance for both deadlift and squat, and I feel doing so has allowed me to lift more comfortably and put greater focus on my strongest area. Secondly I was coming of some back strain, so I had been lifting heavy on cable machines and doing multiple exercises per body part. I feel this focused heavy training really helped build extra strength and work my muscles in new ways. I may actually start using cable machines more.
I love watching strongman content, and when I first got into strongman I would consume every piece of strongman media I could find. This lead me to a video that opened with a massive muscular man - more bodybuilder than strongman - deadlifting, and with the camera focused on his face the man said, "Don't be alive if you can't deadlift." That man was Jón Pull Sigmarsson, 4 times world's strongest man champion, powerlifter, and bodybuilder.
Jón Páll was one of the first, and really the only strongman to inspire me. Yes I admire men like Big Z, Brian Shaw, Oleksii Novikov, and Mateusz Kieliszkowski, but at the end of the day I view these men as obstacles to overcome. Bosses to be defeated, but Jón Páll was different. He inspired me to enjoy lifting. That strength alone was not what made someone truly great. It required just a great personality and charisma.
Not only do you need to lift heavy, but you have to truly enjoy it and make sure everyone one knows it. What a saw in Jón Páll was a man who knew he was the greatest, and showed it in both ability and personality.
Another day at the gym, and it was actually a pretty good day. I did Olympic lifting today, and it was actually really good. I did snatch, power clean, and clean and jerk. What I like about these moves is that even at a low weight they still felt satisfying to do. Most likely owning to the fact that I haven't done them before. Still, I felt my shoulders being worked in a way that was different from your traditional shoulder press. I enjoyed the fact that it exists on the opposite side of powerlifting, focusing more on technique and explosive power as opposed to powerliftings focus on raw strength and power. While Olympic lifts will never be my focus - I'm not as big a fan of high speed technical moves. Prefering to keep my lifts simple and heavy. - see the value in training Olympic lifts, and using the as support lifts to help build strength for strongman.

Had a strange experience this weekend. I was going to do my regular workout Friday, but end up crashing after work and didn't get up till closer to 8pm. Saturday I got in a light workout practicing the keg toss. Sunday I ended up crashing again and didn't really get up till Monday. This also resulted in me not getting my full calorie count in on Friday and Sunday. I managed to get in my workout today, and it went surprisingly well. I figured given my weekend I'd have more trouble with my workout, but once I got going it went vary smooth. My technique felt good, I felt stronger, and was even able to lift heavier. In the moment the weekend felt like a wash, and that I had wasted my time not getting in a full workout and hitting my calorie count. Leaving me feeling a bit uncertain about my ability to be a strength athlete, but after today I feel the weekend was my body forcing me to rest. I find it hard to listen to my body often times o find myself pushing my body as hard as I can, so sometimes my body has to force me to rest. It just sucks in the moment, because you feel like you're weaker than you are. That you're slipping backwards. Perhaps I just need to dedicate more time to sleep on the weekends, and give myself more time to heal from the week.
