New shit Iāve found that helps me and could possibly help others. Iāve completely got off smoking weed and drinking alc. Those were shit habits. Itās been a long time since Iāve touched either. BUT, since Iāve stopped weed, my sleep habits have been very inconsistent based on anxiety flairs I believe. I started taking melatonin to get regular in my sleep and itās helped but I was still fairly inconsistent and it helps shit all with anxiety.
So what Iāve done now is micro dosages with edibles (5-10mg edibles around bedtime) Which now I actually have a sleep habit and even on nights where I donāt have any sort of edible(Because that shit is expensive) I sleep well and donāt have any problems with actually getting to sleep.
Also using this strictly as a sleep aid doesnāt give me any urges to any heavy doses and fucking melt myself, which makes me happy knowing I can have self control with things I use to not have any self control with.
(Let it be known that IF you decide to try this, go for an Indica strain! and also start small. Edibles definitely affect people in different ways. What works for one might not work for all)

I find magnesium supplements quite helpful for sleep consistency. About an hour before bed I take it.

Whoops.
Decided Iād hang out with some palās and skate around a bit. One thing led to another and we decided itād be fun to bomb some hills. Had to bail off of a steep hill and damn near did the splits. My right hip feels like it got hit by a train now. Gonna keep off of it until Monday, hopefully itās cleared up by then.

Well I think itās starting to happen in the strongman world, among the proās. 200kg is starting to become a little more common. Canāt wait to see what the log records will get pushed too in the next few years to come.
Have you seen Hixxyās 220kg? crazy smooth.

So excited Log Worlds. Hoping Kearney can take the American Record. He made a joke out 200kg at the Arnold Australia.

Number goals are feeling a bit silly to me the more I think about them. Peaking constantly throughout the year isnāt gonna get me very far. Iām thinking after nationals Iām gonna run a bunch of hypertrophy cycles and occasionally dip into some heavier phases, but probably not gonna peak for a very very long time. Gonna really build my base high so when I do peak I can do some crazy shit. Also gonna hang up all my supportive gear except my Knee Sleeves and wrist wraps throughout these hypertrophy phases and also use things that make me feel weak. (SSB, Front Squats, Axle DLās) Stuff like that. Iāll try to surpass my peaked strength levels with all of these factors in play and when I push it a little further than when I feel like enough is enough, Iāll reward myself with a little peak.

Just hit the fucking 500 pull first.

Oh yeah of course. Iām hitting my 505 pull and nationals, then switching over to my hypertrophy style training. I was talking mainly on my plans for a 605 pull, 500+ squat and 305 log by the end of 2019. Those are the numbers I was referring to as silly to chase seeing as my body probably wouldnāt be ready to hit those at the end of the year. Those will be my next big numbers once my body is ready.
