So yesterday marked the first day of prep for Lancing's Strongest Man. I will be competing in the u90kg category I know I know under 90kg more like Lancings strongest child haha. I have spent the past month or so sorting my nutrition out and getting a ton of cardiovascular conditioning done for a couple reasons really I needed to drop about a stone to be at comp weight and being fit makes it much easier to recover between sets and when your sets are truck pulls I want all the recovery I can get.
I'm pleased to say that I'm 90kg and feeling good at this weight 13 weeks of training to go let's see what I can do in that time.
So the first phase of this program is all about laying the foundations for the second phase, it's not quite an anatomical adaption phase as the percentage is too high, but it's not exactly a peaking block. The purpose is to get a ton of assistance work done on potentially vulnerable areas such as the lower back, and I'm currently recovering from a shoulder injury which I sustained at soft play yep that super crazy type of "SOFT" play so I'm just making it less fragile. It's also a time to get a lot of training done on the events but at lighter weights to help build efficiency and mastery of the movements.
