Only five training weeks left to go until @strongmannationals at the @ntx_strengthexpo!!! Diet is going decent right now too. Shout out @rossr813 for the guidance. We’re in a good spot. He’s been the accountability I needed this prepHere’s what good ‘ol @derek_k_o cooked up for this week for me. 1. Banded deadlifts. 725x3 here. Big pulls this next week. 2. 515x8 on squat. Massive. We’re hitting double digits in comp babyyyyy3. Some axle clean and press. Trying to stay super speedy on these. 265 here. 4. Monster dumbbell keeps ticking along. Up to 185 this week for some solid reps! Proud of the progress I’ve been making on this the past several weeks. 5. Missed my sandbag work on day 2 due to not wanting to inhale Canadian forest ashes in the air. So I did the loading medley at 200,250,275,300. Pretty solid I think. Will shave some time off for sure over the next several weeks!6. Death Medley at full comp specs. 55ish seconds. I think we will break under 50 seconds here soon. That’ll be pretty decent I think. But maybe I’m wrong, and weak, and everyone else can somehow do the tank a million times faster 😂 by @dan_eager

Another week done in prep for @strongmannationals. 1. 170 monster dumbbell. Big wins on this this week. Got comfier in the new rack position. Will move up in weight again next week. 2. Part of death medley/heart shock work. Gosh this event is awful. I need to be faster 😂3. 300 sandstone to shoulder. Just messing around and staying prepped in case something like this is the mystery event. I DONT ACTUALLY KNOW IT @derek_k_o WONT TELL ME4. 505x3 axle dead’s. Just some regular volume this week. 5. 275 log viper. Feeling great on log. 6: 275 log with power clean to push press. Wanted to test this out. But going with a viper for sure. 7. 495x8 axle squat again. Feeling great with squats right now. by @dan_eager

More training for @strongmannationals from the last couple weeks. @derek_k_o is dialing me in good for this comp. 1 - 495x8 squat. Happy with how these are moving. 2 - 265 reactive axle. Working on the belt clean straight to front rack. Got in a good flow. 3 - 635x3 on axle dead’s. Huge set here. Excited to see how these progress and peak. 4 - 160 monster dumbbell. I’m having to change dumbbell tech for this. Totally different than regular dumbbell. Think I found a rack position that works for me finally haha5 - goofing around off program. Oopsssss. Failed the 300 😂6 - death medley. Gross. 7 - 268 viper on the new slater. Much harder than metal@log. Will probably go back to metal log rest of prep tbh. by @dan_eager

Getting a new Slater Monster bell in this week and excited to use it! 2. 495x6 on axle squat to pads. Excited to continue progressing this. Used to be worried about squat. Feeling better than ever on it. 3. Log complex at 275. Planning on vipering the log. Gotta go fast. 4. Huge Deadlift. 600x5 with some room to spare I think. Excited about this one too. by @dan_eager

Fun weekend at Pittsburgh’s Strongest Man hosted by @hendo580 and @580barbell. Had a great back and forth with @lucusn92 all day and he came out on top in the end by a good margin! Congrats brother! And congrats to @extensioncordd on third place! Way to kill it man 🤝 stuck around the next day to help with ASM u80 and ASW u64. Was a super fun time as well! Was fun to compete up a couple weight classes. Now it’s time to get dialed in for nationals at the end of August. Can’t wait 😮‍💨 @derek_k_o by @dan_eager
