Comments: Had a lot of aggression to get out of my system today. Upper back was doing that thing whenever I lowered the weights. Went away once I got good and angry though. This workout felt like the first one since I started my prep for Nats that felt strong. 397lbs was a big PR for me. I missed the second rep the first time around but still hit it and that to me is even a bigger plus since I rarely can repick a missed heavy lift. My entire lower back seized up from that effort though and it hurt to hold the weight so I let go of it well before my grip gave. Had to rest a good, long while to even attempt the lighter weight for the loose grip hold. Struggled to get it off the ground. Let go once I felt my calluses start to slip. Leg raises felt good with my back so tight. Going to take a while for it to calm down.
I’m a little taller than 6′6″ and I really like to lift weights. I’m a competitor in amateur strongman contests. My hope is to become a competitive professional strongman. Currently I'm training for Northeast Regionals in Monaca, PA on 6/1/2024. I’m not a major competitor yet and I have a long way to go but I’m having fun.
