Big props to @csacoach_adam @csacoach_connor @cumbrian_strongman_promotions @prostrongmanleague for putting the show on, felt like an athlete and was a brilliant evening definitely recommending any NXT era shows to anyone

Not the day I wanted, little changes to the first event and messed the start of the day up
Another 0 on an overhead and a deadlift event
Then just winded myself on the sandbag to shoulder and couldn’t get my breath back well enough

Happy with the farmers into keg couldn’t have asked for better pairing than with @sam_waattssoonn fast feet

And a triple on the stones when it was as slippy as it was I’m happy with

Class day with @samb1993 @sam_waattssoonn @jameslynch_u80

Big ups to coach @marcuscollins_u105 second in the 90s and @richie_ingham 5th in his first 90s after a rough cut

Thanks to @georginakeighley @ash_ingers @bens_strongman_diaries @johnpickup_ for coming and all the support from @halifaxstrengthunit taken in Carlisle, Cumbria by @state.zach

More shield carry

Will push this to 250 at least I hope
Saying 19 seconds from when I picked it up to putting it down but taking my Sandals off at the start definitely cost me a second or two so this will go quicker next time.

Thanks to @will_shepherd_08 for helping me out with this again

@halifaxstrengthunit push pull 2024
Weighed in at 91.3kg this morning

Pleased with my deadlift after how rubbish prep has been and pulled a lot better than ever has before

Axle felt stellar this morning considering only gone over 100 once since august, 5kg pb pleased with and I feel 115 is there just not the day today

Big thanks again to @lonewolf_strength_coach for keeping me in condition even through the busy few months I’ve had and the illnesses
Thanks to @f2oh_brand for keeping me kitted out

Event win at @prostrongmanleague

Rising weight Conans
A little disappointed for not getting heavier but the heat and the events beforehand didn’t help
Very nice bit of kit though
And very nice to know I can hold my own and win these kind of front carry events at this level

PSL worlds u80

Great weekend with some great lads
Not gonna moan about the travel and the heat as I think I dealt with them as well as possible

Overhead medley, in warm ups I was the most confident I’ve been that that axle was gonna go but just didn’t have the mobility to catch it right. Knew I had the kettle bell and would’ve liked to think I’d have given the bag a very good go, is what it is was under no assumption it was 100%

Deadlift escalator, set up was shaky which I knew going in but first comp in a suit I didn’t give myself enough time to be properly ready so ended up with no salts or belt on the floor which just threw me off a little, wouldn’t have changed anything in the end even getting the next two pulls

Bag toss, always a bad event but happy enough to get an easy two bags with the @will_shepherd_08 swing

Conans, it’s a distance event.. I’d have liked to get the next bag on but just shook me more than I was expecting and gassed me out on the last half lap, still and event win despite @samb1993 best efforts

Farmers into log, rushed myself a bit on the pick knowing my best hope was to show off with a fast farmers but a few of us missing the log meant it made no difference

Bag, drag, pull medley, training this has been awful so was happy with 48s in the heat

Absolutely mint trip and huge thanks to @prostrongmanleague for the treatment, truly nothing like their set up anywhere else

Congrats to @jonas_bertschinger_u80kg on winning and setting a new world record after

And of course great staying with team Britain @alstrength_coach @sam_waattssoonn @jameslynch_u80 🥈 @_lbspt_ and @georginakeighley ❤️

Natural strongman 4 nations @nxtera_promotions

Happy enough with how it went mostly, can only fault myself for the mistakes I made

Being only two of us there the winner was always going to be the man that made the least mistakes and Martin was flawless all day with no foot out of place

13” Dl, plan went a little out of my head but managed 8 reps which is a rep Pb so can’t complain was enough to tie

Bb—> CDB 3 db 2 bb, trained for 7, done 7 many times
Must’ve rushed coming down on my first dumbbell which put me a rep behind then by the time I’d caught up I felt myself rush out of the rack on the last bar then just didn’t catch it right, still enough to tie

Sandball loading medley, should’ve been a great event for me but simply could not pick them up, fumbled the 80 3 times then fumbled the 90 and was a length behind at that point, serves me right for trying to rush them probably

Farmers, again should’ve been good but after missing the line on the first turn kinda gave up in my head a bit as that was the win gone then didn’t even bother finishing the 3rd length

Sandball to shoulder, got out of my head for this, think it was the fastest time of the day and I’ve only ever lost a shouldering ladder once in an opens comp so decided I had to keep that streak going

Can’t say a bad word about @gingerbeardvegan always a pleasure to compete with and well done to the man x

Thank you to my lady @georginakeighley for keeping me fed and hydrated once again x

@king_and_queen_of_the_jungle with my lady

Big day for us, a rather heavy inters comp for me and @georginakeighley first full competition

She absolutely smoked it, won the deadlift and smashed the rest of the day in the heat having a blast competing along side her mates @ash_ingers @_cd4_xx

George- 220kg silver dollar (30kg below pb), overhead medley 3/4 (would’ve been nice to finish it but a bit of comp nerves and not getting a full warm up just didn’t happen), sandbag toss 8kg (was always gonna be a tough one having only got the 10 once in training but made 8 look routine), sandbag medley 2/3 (to say she couldn’t even pick the 50 up a month ago to finish two bags was mint), train pull smoked it (hard to train this specifically and was worrying when it ended up being a bit heavier as she’s only little but powered through)

Zach- 320kg silver dollar (pulled 300 in training so very conservative with numbers but so smooth on the @heavy_weight_stuff cages, not sure Rob liked my lockout), don’t need to talk about the press, sandbag toss 15kg (always been bad at this and 15 was inconsistent in training so nice to get it on first throw), sandbag medley 3/3 (nice and easy even on the uphill), train pull (again just was as it was felt nice just broke my harness half way through cos I’m too skinny)

Thanks to @strengthcircusmalton for the day

King o’ the Styans Northern qualifier
12th

Pleasantly surprised with how today went as was basically going for a day out to see the new level lads

0ed the dragon egg to shoulder 100kg, just not had hands on and definitely not something I could just walk up to and do

Reeves stone hold 120/88, 30s no hook grip can’t complain about that but sensation definitely came on quickly and realised here I had no tolerance to keep holding them

Stone putt 9kg, didn’t really know what to expect with this think 5.5 with only 1 decent throw out of my 3 so I’ll take it

Kingfisher stone carry 155kg, 43m for 2nd in this again happy enough definitely had a little more in me if I’d gone a little quicker but no was another 10+m to win that

5 pillars of stone lifting, managed the wind then think I just had too much chalk on to get past the lap shame as I’d done it in warm ups

Another good day out with @georginakeighley and watching @smol_butstrong_ish smash it
