One small squat for me, my opener
Powerlifter (apparently), strongman (maybe). Think a lot, sleep a lot. I like pizza, walking, reading and meditating. Goodnighty!

So I have done a post like this before and it was as the caption says... Boring. However this has a purpose to it. On Christmas day I will give myself the permission to eat whatever I want, I wouldn't be so strict over this holiday period however I am competing in late January so the weight loss is well under weigh. How I am doing this is the app lifesum which is a bit like myfitnesspal. A key element to this is is a weekly average of calorie intake, since I will be eating a lot on Christmas day I will take some calories off the other days around 300. This has helped me before to lose 6 kilograms. I hope you enjoy your holidays, I know I will be.

What a day, the bar had been raised! Worked up to a 192.5kg/424lbs (7.5kg/16.5lbs pr) deadlift weighing in a 68kg/150lbs. The comp was at the Unit gym Dereham which is also the gym I train at (bit if trivia). Really good day seeing new and old faces, this has got me hungry for the next comp in January!

Some more strongman training from the powerlifter, testing to see how 70kg felt for the under 80kg class next year, went on to do this for a triple but no footage so it didn't happen. On top of that only weighing 68kg. #wtf #wtfisthis #strength #strongman #powerlifting #weights #weightlifting #overheadpress #axlepress #strength #shorty

I'm counting down the days, not to any holiday but my gyms deadlift comp. I am super psyched for this event as I feel my deadlift was a bit of a let down this year. Even though this comp isn't a powerlifting specific comp I am still looking forward to see how much I have progressed from July, and this will be a good estimate for what's to come in the East of England's championship. Watch out for the 19th of December as there will be plenty of pics/via of the event. #deadlift #powerlifting #strongman #lift #ipf #strong #allthegainz #allthegains #gbpf #epf #lookatthatspeed #howdoeshedothat #strength #ifyoustrikemedownishallbecomemorepowerfulthanyoucanpossiblyimagine

My next comp
My next and last comp of the year is going to be December 19th. This will be at the gym I train at; the unit in Dereham England. The style of comp will be a deadlift only comp with a blend of powerlifting and strongman rules. A max weight from three attempts with certain technical rules like no hitching, like you can do in strongman. Straps will be allowed though like in strongman. This is a good blend of powerlifting and strongman rules for these kind of athletes that train there. Winners will be chosen based on wilks, so those of a different size and gender to others will all be competing together. Look forward to pics and footage!

Thought I would upload this here first before anywhere else, kinda funny a powerlifter doing strongman. 170kg on the bar, ten reps in 38 seconds at 68kg body weight.

So I am probably crazy
Being a strength athlete, specifically a powerlifter, I am going balls to the walls next year and maybe doing 7 meets/comps. January will be my regional meet where I would like to improve my bench record and maybe go for the open record as well as go for the junior and open deadlift record also in the 66kg weight category. This will also serve as a qualifier for national events. If weight loss goes well I would go for another small meet before August and qualify as 59kg. May will have the ABPU's body power expo which I would love to do for the atmosphere and to compete in a new federation, I normally compete in the IPF. In June I have my first strongman comp at under 80kg (look out for pics, footage and gifs of that ;)). August and October will have the English and British national events. At the moment these are just ideas and haven't committed to much to what I am doing. It could turn out that I might do more if I get picked for the gb team in the IPF and compete at a world meet, or if the body power expo goes well and do a national/international meets. Next year will be my last year in powerlifting so I am so eager to go out with a bang!

A smoothie I made yesterday and it doesn't look like it's already been eaten once. Just made it with left over stuff around the house: spinach, frozen berries, a banana and a satsuma. #master #smoothie #cleaneating #cleangains #wtfdoesthatmean #allthemicronutrients
