Today, the 80kg/176lbs sand filled keg went all the up to shoulder and I had enough control to take a hand off.
Victory!

Can't pick between regular squats and zercher squats? Just make an awkward set up and do both.

A little training montage my gym put together of me (pre-hair dye, obviously).

It may be a deload week, but I feel like I still got a decent enough pump for arms and shoulders day.

The event also features an 80kg/176lbs duck walk. So, I was working with 90kg/198lbs today. Again, I think I managed about 1 meter a second on average. I can build on that.
Apologies for the butt crack shot.

Check it out! I'm a woke with a yoke!
Working on getting 185kg/407lbs moving in prep for doing 180kg/396kg at the comp. I think I averaged about 1 meter a second in the end, so that's a good start point.

Gym selfies because I feel freaking good. Back, chest, and core day was intense. Managed to hit a set of 3 on the seated machine chest press with 60kg on each side, which is a new best. Definitely need to work on getting my back bigger, but I'm not gonna get too down about that

I just benched 100kg for the 1st time. This is huge for me because:
1) It's more than my body weight
2) My bench press, much like my overhead press, is a weaker movement for me, so I'm happy for the improvement
3) I jumped from 85kg to 100kg
4) I think I had more in the tank

After 2 weeks of workouts being disrupted due to things beyond my control, it was good to get back to a standard #LegDay at the gym. My legs now feel like jelly in the best possible way.

Today, I tested where I'm at in terms of reps on the deadlift at the weight it will be during the competition.
RESULT: 150kg - 10 reps in 60 seconds
With 8 weeks to go, I can aim for 12 reps now. This is looking promising. I'm hoping it'll be enough for an event win

It's time for a #gymsky gym diary as I continue my strength journey. #StrongBinary for the win!
