WASM Prep Week1: Ramping Up

430 kilogram yoke walk - WASM state finals, September 2013
SO FAR, so good.


Everything is holding together, and I'm feeling strong and confident about my abilities going into this competition. Though it is fair to say the loadings for this WA strongman qualifier are significantly lower than they have been in previous years. It actually provoked me to go dig up some pictures from the qualifying rounds I entered in 2012, 2013 and 2014 where 350 to 400 kilogram yoke walks, 140 kilo farmers walks and 300-plus kilo axle deadlifts were par for the course.

There's also been some improvement to my body fat / lean mass ratio according to the Fitbit. This is due to more consistency in my training and a little more discipline with my diet; chiefly, eating more. It's always more.
