UKs Strongest Man 2023

So the plan was to defend the title, was a much different feeling this year being the big favourite but I was very confident. One change before we started was car deadlift hold in the final switching to duck walk into power stairs which was the eliminator for day one and two. Nothing too major but it meant I didn't have a banker event to finish on.

Day one:
Started off with truck push and pull which did feel very tough to start, I was quite far behind but realised I needed to turn my feet and got way more purchase, came back then and ended in 3rd place.

Axle press next dropped from 150kg to 140kg so nice and comfortable. Hit 5, had a rest and Chris B caught up so hit a 6th and assumed correctly that the last two wouldn't match it.

Did one flip of the car to take me through.

Day two:

Arm over arm truck pull which I completely messed up, really hadn't thought about it enough and was very messy. Limped the truck over the line for a generous 3rd place.

Wheelbarrow next, 385kg in the hand which was way too heavy so I enjoyed watching everyone die on it and get just a few metres. Went out and did just over halfway then put it down as I could feel my grip going which doesn't happen often. Picked up again and finished it for the win, they gave group B straps after seeing our group so I had the fun situation of being the only athlete out of 12 not pissed off at that decision.

Stones I went and did a quick 3 just to make sure I was through.

UKs final

Felt good waking up for day three and these were the events I'd trained so very confident.

Yoke 400kg 30m

Tough one this, tires on the yoke purposefully meant to oscillate so way way harder than 400kg would usually be but had a steady run with no drops which was enough for the win.

Incline log ladder 100-180kg

This was tough as we had to clean the log from pads on the floor not jerk blocks like normal, Matt Dimond looked very strong warming up so knew I had to be on my bike. I flew through the first 4 and then waited a little while, Matt was attempting log 5 so I did too, I went first and locked it out a few seconds before he did for the event win. 2 in a row but only 2 points ahead.

Max Silver dollar deadlift
Started at 350kg very comfortably. People dropped out around 400kg then there was 4 of us until Matt failed 455kg. Me, Flynn and Crozier hit that and it was feeling heavy. I was pretty confident they wouldn't manage 470kg and thankfully I was right, I locked it out for 3 in a row and a bit more breathing space.

Bull ring wrestling

A new one so wasn't sure how to play it, I decided to be the one trying to pull out of the ring but annoyingly had Cillien as the first bout who was a lot better than his Silver dollar pacing would suggest. Couldn't quite get him out so lost the first round meaning I could only get a max of 4 points. Won the next 2 but lost 3 points to Matt so was only 2 ahead going into last event.

Duck walk steeplechase to power stairs. 200kg 20m, 1 hurdle and 5 stairs.

Annoying that this was put in because "everyone has trained it" which I hadn't as I didn't expect to have to do the eliminator. I only had to beat Matt to win overall as the others were too far behind so I had a steady run, made sure I was up each step without rushing and got 4th place on that with Matt further down so took the overall win by 5 points.

Very happy to defend the title, the field obviously wasn't as strong without Gav there but I'm glad to win UKs comfortably even with a mess up on the wrestling. I feel really good but going forward the plan is a 12 week hypertrophy to really focus on my Posterior chain and bring that up closer to par. Had a week in Holland after comp with one mess about session before starting the new block.
