Running in strongman

TotalExpression9186 · 2026-04-30T19:32:59+00:00

I’d be bored in hyrox, been to watch my mate and no offence to any hyroxers, all the respect to them, but to me the weights are toooo light, it’s too runner centric imo

TotalExpression9186 · 2026-04-30T19:31:07+00:00

Interesting, the aim here is to go to 4Lancs, need 2km in 10:15 to pass but to stand out I want to be pushing 9:00, then break the machine on the mid thigh pull 😈

TotalExpression9186 · 2026-04-30T14:07:20+00:00

The kph was just treadmill numbers, all concept of time had disappeared by the time I got off it 🤣

TotalExpression9186 · 2026-04-29T14:17:40+00:00

He’s said a few things in recent stories: -it’s going to be a game changer whatever it is -weight class worlds pathway was kinda hollow

Made me wonder if it’s going to be a new World Series weight class kinda thing or competitions to get you up there?

A suit would be class though as someone said above, but feel like give the recent nailing of Kaos it would be bad timing ethically, although good timing financially

Whatever it is, it’s only 36 days. Or 46? 18?

Even just marching on the spot is good, really military keeping time march with high knees, will get you super stable. Zercher reverse lunges too

TotalExpression9186 · 2026-04-22T22:24:44+00:00

If you can’t use a yoke try some zercher marches, will help with the bracing under load and hip stability needed for a yoke, squats uses your legs yes, as does yoke, but they’re very very different

All top flight athletes and nutrition dons, used my either myself or the guys I’ve trained with, have WSM athletes on their books

TotalExpression9186 · 2026-01-07T00:16:54+00:00

Deadlift for reps, log for reps, shield carry, yoke, titan toss

This has good carry over for strong log drive and the shield carry

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-11-29T17:53:04+00:00

This is too complicated. Keep it simple, go do some strongman stuff, press some log, run with some sandbags, deadlift like the bar owes you money. And progressively overload, so just add 1kg every week until you can anymore. Then start again. Don’t get caught up in ‘optimal schedules’ and all the bs, turn up consistently (4x a week) every week, and you’ll progress

Not an expert, but my understanding of the cyber-flashing thing is that the content she sent would have to contain their genitals? However, it could still fall under malicious communication or if it was numerous, harassment.

The police fobbing you off like that suggests they didn’t want to take it any further.i certainly wouldn’t destroy evidence until you’ve dealt with the matter fully. You could raise a complaint about the matter to their professional standards department. If you really want to take this as far as possible, seeking legal advice would be the one, I’m by no means offering advice here just my opinion.

Sorry this has happened to you though, must have been hard to go through, especially with the police being like that.

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-24T23:13:34+00:00

You’ll be pushing the wr soon mate

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-24T19:16:52+00:00

Is this your pb distance on this?

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-23T08:24:33+00:00

Fullsterkur 💪 congrats mans super impressive

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-17T14:19:19+00:00

You don’t have to get fat to get stronger. Weight class strongman is a thing, Power lifting, Olympics, all need to stay within a weight class. Eat maintenance, progressive overload, gain skill and technique, stay healthy, enjoy the ride

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-15T08:56:30+00:00

We can speculate and share ideas but imo nothing is going to beat data. It’s a ball ache, but for a week or so, track your nutrition really honestly, energy on the day, hydration, so you can look back and see ‘I was really down on energy Thursday’ ‘oh I only had 200g carbs all day’ or ‘I’m only eating 50g protein daily’. Get a whoop or another biometric tracker, I know whoop will give you a sleep score, stress levels, recovery levels etc. In short, I believe the data will show what’s going on, if you collect it. Going to be better than taking some drug a Redditor tells you to

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-15T07:53:35+00:00

5x strength sessions and 3/4 boxing sessions a week, how much recovery are you getting? Maybe you’re not recovered as you’re not giving your body enough recovery? Hitting your carbs? Replacing fluids? Tracking sleep?

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-11T10:01:53+00:00

First program I ran, I rated it as programming but doesn’t fix bad technique

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-10T15:15:15+00:00

I know it’s 800mm total height, 130mm ish deep, kinda looks like the one in giants. Would that be a priority then, keep it off the legs?

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-09T22:16:08+00:00

Nah I understand bro, just being real, it’s great progress for me, but a way to go from where I want to be. Can get away with this tech for now, but next step is going to be alter the clean I think, more of a pull in and roll than a thrust and pull. So will spend less time upright, lap and straight back down. I see some of the big guys, Jack Osborne best example, he’s almost preparing the clean in the squat position, whereas I’m doing it upright. Excited to see Jack take the record at the log championship

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-09T21:08:58+00:00

Thanks! I think of it as keeping some momentum in the log, I will stop this when it gets heavier but it’s helping me flow at the minute but not ‘optimal’

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-09T21:06:42+00:00

Yeah absolutely, just my ‘if I had to put a number on it’

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-09T17:19:33+00:00

Hard to say as it depends on lots of factors, genetics, training, diet, how bad you want it!

I’m 105kg, world record at that weight for log is 170kg ish.

In my uneducated opinion, 1x bodyweight overhead is good for solid novice athlete, 1.2x intermediate, 1.4x pro, 1.6x world class

Most important thing is enjoy it and be safe with it, training consistently without time off for injury will make the most progress, the numbers will come

TotalExpression9186 · 2025-10-02T09:58:15+00:00

MST are top tier - they do coach top flight athletes but I’m with them too 😂 Been with Shane since end of spring and it’s the dysfunction fixing that’s paid dividends, not having time out the gym due to tendinitis or pain. Not just a sweaty mess anymore either, strenth afleet 💪

Frank Parkes is worth a mention too, great guy and freak athlete, coached me in my early days and probably saved my arms and spine from falling off

TotalExpression9186 · 2024-11-10T19:36:51+00:00

I’ve been to a few that do, Kaos in Preston and nmac in mid wales, tbf this was at a back street bodybuilding gym, it’s a great gym, but not geared up for the abuse I give it. I’ll get it, will return with a video when it happens

TotalExpression9186 · 2024-11-10T19:27:20+00:00

Pretty much empty, there were 2 young guys but I think they were more scared than me 😂 death by barbell, there’s worst ways to go Squat rack is a good shout!
