I must say, behind the neck presses are great as well. Fatigues my entire upper body so fast too.
First time checking the log btw, strong for a 14 year old, keep it up. Competing any time soon?

Thank you, Iām just starting my journey into strongman. Probably gonna compete sometime in May - July when I have a lot of time to train (Summer Break) I have seen some competitions that I know I could place top three in that I believe would get me into Teen Nationals.
Sweet! Great start in your journey. Iāll be around in your log to see you progress for sure.

My goals no longer revolve around certain lifts as of today. My new goal officially is to be Houstonās strongest teen. They should have a teen division in H-townās strongest man next year and they already implemented a teen division in the Branch Warren Classic. Do you guys think if I can win first in both I could be considered the strongest teen in H-town? What other big contestās are there to prove myself in?
