Great events prep from last weekend. I've been sick with food poisoning since. I'm down 10lbs but finally feeling better today. Back at work now but probably not going to compete this weekend. Just typical 2020 stuff.

Deadlift 370x1x5

Log C+J 160x1x5

Bear crawl sled drag 100+40childx100' drop weight at 50', 140x100'

Few quick singles to get some practice in with the static events from the contest Saturday. Also gauge where my body is at. Felt good to move again. Saturday will be a game day decision.

Toronto Strongman Spectacular

My symptoms were a bit worse again this week. I did a stool sample last week and they found blastocystis a common parasite that can be asymptomatic in people and most doctors opt not to treat and potentially mess up the gut lining even more. I'm hoping my relapse is just from pushing a bit too hard on the weekend with the contest and celebrating. Right now I'm just trying to figure out what I can eat. Won't be gaining back that weight anytime soon but I'll probably try to get some light work in tonight.

Hell of a competition! Nice work, Andrew. 

Thank you all! I was very pleased with my performance all things considered. Mostly just thrilled to finally get a comp in before the years end.

Deadlifts (straps) 360x5x3

A1 dips BWx12x3

A2 superman squats BWx10/10x3

A2 DB row 70x10/10x3

RPE was way to high for what this workout was but I need to start training again for my mental health. Going to try supplementing with glutamine to see if I can expedite my gut recovery somewhat. Fell behind on my reading this month but I just started a new book: The Devils Chessboard. About Allen Dulles and the history of the CIA, at over 600 pages my intention is to finish it before the new year.

Some assorted training last week. We're having some crazy warm days right now so I got my sandbags out Saturday. Gut issue is more or less resolved but going to proceed with caution. Along with my appetite I've lost a very disappointing amount of strength. Going to start rebuilding both this week.

Would you say that the Assault bike helps directly with any medley training?

I'm certainly not qualified to comment on strongman programming but since you asked; yes I think some sort of conditioning work is important in strongman and the assault bike is a great tool. I looked for years before finding a decent used one in town at a good price. The assault bike IMO is perfect for max effort work. The harder you go the more resistance you get. Because of this I prefer calorie targets instead of timed intervals (I need to replace the batteries in my bike). Its also easy on the joint for bigger guys (not my problem).  Moving and loading events are always my strength and I'm constantly surprised by how slow some people move between implements. This is where these events are won and lost. I think the best thing for training to move fast in medleys however is hill sprints. You're not going to be biking at the contest after all. That and just practicing the events with speed. Something I suspect a lot of people don't do and then wonder why they were slow on contest day...

Crazy!!! Must have been beat after that!

Haha thanks Don! I've used this as a finisher for many years I think it takes about 3min. One day I should try a Bud Jeffries inspired challenge and see how long it takes to do 1000 😵
