Thanks bro! I will definately get some high quality vids this time around. All my vids from nats were from so far away you almost cant tell who it is. I am doing events mixed with normal training. Gonna step up the events next week and just torture myself until the comp looks like nothing to me.

Close, I used to do (and will do again) a 3 day split that was upper/lower, lower/upper, events. It works best for a couple weeks before a comp.
I powerlifted for about 3 months before my first strongman comp. From then on its been powerlifting/implement training. Still trying to find the right setup for me to train all year but I have my pre contest cycle down pretty well. Never competed in PL though. I think I would like to just to get one under my belt and see what its like doing a single lift in front of people. Maybe later this year? I would go RAW.
