Strangely enough through twitter, it's still quite a small community in the UK always been a fan if strongman and I'd followed a few people and got a few follows back. Posted I fancy doing some and got a message back from someone who knew one of the top natural guys who happened to train Hull where I live and told me how he runs a training session at a local gym. Got in touch and went down and been going since. Good bunch of guys with plenty of knowledge. Found alot of strongman stuff Is technique, pure strength only gets you so far.

So it's Monday so means had a day off and today's back to day 1. However I was naughty over the weekend, I had a few beers for the first time since January and ate some food I shouldn't then shoved a load of chocolate in my face last night. Paid for it today, felt really flat and weak as piss. Helps me keep resolved to stay the course though as I was just starting to feel like I was getting somewhere with my body composition and I didn't really fell like is missed the beer so not fussed.

WTF!!! How do I go from pulling 212.5 x 2 twice last week on deads with no belt or straps to not even being able to get 187.5 off the floor fully gimped up?!? Proper pissed off now, don't know if it's cause I'm training in the morning instead of the night today but ****ed my full mindset up. Thrown my toys out of the pram and gonna go back to it tonight.

Mornings are much harder for me to lift as well. We all have s**t days , what matters is how u come back from it. U seem focused n driven, I'm sure u will kill it tonite after thinkin bout it all day. Channel that anger n make it work for u! Let's see what u do later

 

[beng30]

Not sure who turned up to training yesterday morning? Thankfully his bigger brother turned up last night, still really confused as can't believe the time of day could make this much of a difference. Still didn't quite hit the full numbers i should so did some extra assistance work at the end of my normal workout, full day at work today and then shoulders tonight so something to look forward to at least.
