....until a surprise strongman benefit competition. You haven’t touched a log in 6 months, your Best ever is 245 and it’s 240 for reps. You just don’t want to zero. What would you do.
....besides crying and praying.
ETA: I just did a grindy 215, but I think that’s mostly rust. Should be at 225 pretty quickly. Planning on logging three times per week, 2 lighter and one heavier.
You’ve got 5 weeks

Re: You’ve got 5 weeks
Lots of strict pressing...
"Lighter" strict presses for 6-8's seem to have been good to me.
On your heavier sessions practice triples with leg drive if you don't complete suck at it like me...
Get a grip shirt lol

Re: You’ve got 5 weeks
Doing extra work with bands seems to help plus it’s a little kinder to my shoulders. I agree on the strict pressing as well. Now if my back and shoulder would cooperate. I don’t think a lot of people realize how much more of a beating events put on your body than barbell exercises. That, plus getting old = REALLY need to be smart about this.
