    Quest for a second state championship

    I won the 2013 Maryland's Strongest Man title last November for the 200 class, and now I'm shooting for Pennsylvania this September. I have long arms so my overhead isn't great, but it helps with deadlift, farmers, and stones. Here's my current stats. I'll update them as I progress. Max...

    Awesome! Why did you stop?

    Cab backloading

    Haha. You know, the more I read Kiefer's articles and listen to his podcasts, the more I see how antiquated most "trainers" are. They're prisoners of fitness dogma and traditional nutrition principles that have either been unproven or DISPROVEN scientifically.

    Cab backloading

    Carb backloading I've had excellent success with carb backloading, but I don't know of many strength athletes that do it. I didn't start it for aesthetic purposes, and that's still not why I do it. My contests don't involve me prancing around on stage in a speedo. However, when you drop weight...

    training for cycling

    Sounds like a Crossfit type of training question. I do Strongman so I only do 60 second bursts. Haha. I would check for that.

    Bodybuilding/powerlifting

    I do two heavy and one speed. Never a rep day. The fourth I use to train Strongman events specifically. But all of my accessory work is usually high rep, bodybuilder style. Hence, variation.

    ESM deadlift challenge

    As far as I know it's just going to be a standard Olympic bar with Eiko plates. They're going for a straight weight max pull.

    Cube Method is good too. My trainer has me on a variation of it.

    ESM deadlift challenge

    I don't know if all the European guys are involved, but Benedikt, Andy Bolton, and Shaw are all guest invites.

    ESM deadlift challenge

    Who's going to pull the biggest weight at this years ESM? My money is on Benedikt. He's just a freak deadlifter.

    Best creatine/fish oil?

    KrisL I currently take Anabolic Gardens. Do they use an inferior fish source? What makes Spring Valley and NOW better? Just curious.

    Best creatine/fish oil?

    Ha! DHA. You knew what I meant. A combination of heavy squat session and staying up past my bedtime. Lol.

    Best creatine/fish oil?

    Love the fish sticks comment. Lol. I use Anabolic Gardens for fish oil right now. High amounts of DPA/EPA. Is white creatine a brand?

    Best creatine/fish oil?

    Pretty much the only supplements I take. Everything else is just bull**** marketing. Sorry, it's the truth. Pretty sure Louis Cyr didn't chug some red, artificial sweetener infused concoction pre workout. I digress, anyone else take these two? If so, what's your brand and why?

    5x5 help

    Haha. Welcome to the world of strength athletics. You should try a Strongman contest for fun. Or better yet, I'm running a Highland Games show in September. If you're on the east coast :)

    Lift for building inner back muscles?

    YES! Excellent suggestion. Haven't done them in a while but they're intense.
