Competitive Strongman, Certified Sports Performance Coach

Hey guys hope training is going well. This Thursday I’m leaving for Hartford, Connecticut to compete in a 2 day competition for my pro card. This is the American Strongman Championships where there will be a light heavyweight pro winner and a heavyweight pro winner. The first two events are Friday night and they are a 290 log clean and press for reps in a minute and a 650lb car deadlift for reps in a minute. The next 4 events are being held Saturday morning and they include 150lb circus dumbell clean and press for reps, 850lb yoke for 80ft into 650lb frame carry for 80ft, Husafelt stone carry for max distance, and stones with the sequence of stones being 280-405lbs. I have personal goals that I would like to achieve for each event.

The one ritual I do have before any competition is going to a steakhouse the night before, preferably Outback!! Also before every competition I promise myself to make sure I learn something. Check back next week where I will talk more about the breakdown of each event and HOW MUCH FOOD IS CONSUMED!!!
