That sure seems like ample time to get loaded up!

Definitely; I have mastered it for myself I’d say. When I did the 578 squat a couple weeks back I got up to 240 by the 6am training session in a 21 hour window.

Checkin bag for weighins is packed! Openers I’ll be putting in for SBD will be 534/331/540.
Went to bed at 10pm weighing 228.2, woke at 7am at 224.2lbs. I’m 225.0 now at 29 hours out. Gonna finish my coffee and probably another pint of distilled water and shut fluid down by 2pm. I think it will be easier to fast entirely from food; I will lose fat today no matter if I eat a small breakfast or not, but I’ll make it up tomorrow afternoon.

221.6 at 9pm - gonna come in light for sure, but didn’t wanna push things later and then need to watch the scale tomorrow. Wife is competing in the Pro Strongman League’s Masters Championships! So I can help with that stress free now until I need to go to weighins.

I just let pandora or Spotify play my liked songs, but when a banger comes on right before a big lift or a grinder set, it always makes a difference! Sometimes when I'm about to do a big lift or a hard set and a dog s*** song comes on that doesn't fit the moment I'll start f****** with the phone a little bit and it usually screws up my set. So I guess I really should make myself a more appropriate playlist

Awesome…you planned the weight drop perfect. That’s definitely less stress than trying to drop lbs the last minute. Looks like everything is aligned for you to have a big weekend.
Oh, and I hope Mrs Hyde crushes the competition too….pretty cool when you can say my wife is a pro on the Strongman circuit.

Sorry for the delay; needed a day to decompress after the intensity of the weekend! Where to begin??
First, my wife - she crushes it at the PSL Masters show. With America’s Strongest Master in OKC just 2 weeks prior (where she took 2nd), she only got a squat a couple times in the gym to try to not zero the Circus Cylinder Axle Squat. Most of the other events were qualities she had already been training though (loading & carrying sandbags, backwards drag, the yoke carry, axle clean & press, this show had a regular Trapbar Deadlift & the last used one on hummer tires higher up). There was only one other woman in the lightweight class (most Masters strongwomen become heavyweight by the passage of time), and while she was very strong, my wife was stronger! It was no handout though; my wife put it all out there because every event win was $100 at this show! And all events were 75 seconds long instead of typical 60 with an emphasis on max reps, which made this show an absolute burner - you needed a stout motor to survive this one.
EVENT RESULTS:
305lb Circus Axle Hi Bar Squat for 11 reps to boxes - WIN
135lb Axle Clean & Press for 12 reps - WIN
430lb Yoke Carry 30ft down & back, then 175lb Sandbag Load over bar for 9 reps - WIN
335lb Trapbar Hi Handle Deadlift for 8 Reps - LOSS
175lb Sandbag Carry & Load x2 to Sled into Backwards Sled Drag for Max Distance - WIN
So my wife took home the 1st
place trophy, as well as $550 for winning 4 events, overall, AND the greatest distance drag!
Really proud of her, not so much for winning as just being the athlete that she is - her ability to try to adapt to different scenarios & push herself to HER limits when it’s important to her. This was a really fun show to watch & help out with (I had to leave for weighins after the yoke/loading event); it was great to get to see & catch up with so many great people we know from over the years. People we had pizza with SEVEN years ago in other states for example, or we’ve been lifting with for a decade now. It also made waiting around dehydrated go by a lot faster! Broderick Chavez was there with his wife as well, so it was very cool to get to talk to him more about a bunch of old lifting stuff like we did in Vegas last year. Wish I had more time to nerd out with him, as it’s always a treat.

I love that he felt she deserved her own post, and agree, but now... I wanna hear all about his!

Me too bro! She’s a beast and has killed it, I mean absolutely killed it in her last two or three comps. But I want to know how he peaked on his lifts!

Man that is so awesome…you guys are a family of Champions. You’re wife is so impressive…first she takes second in the event a couple weeks ago and then to turn around and put in this first place performance on such a short turnaround is what Champions are made of. Congratulations, and that is a cool trophy.Sorry for the delay; needed a day to decompress after the intensity of the weekend! Where to begin??
