Yo! Appreciate the kind words dude. You remind me a bit of myself when I first started out in strongman. I’ll keep up with you in here, and I hope I can help out in anyway.

Great work buddy nice strength. Imo it would be better if you had a couple of sets w more reps and sets ( 5-8 for example) for your work capacity and lighter load

When you say you missed the squat by a hair, what do you mean? Did you cut depth short, or fail in the hole, or were you just about locked out and then you dumped it?

I got out the hole and then got stuck in the mid point of the lift, spotter had to give me a small tap and I got the rest of the rep pretty easily. He said he barely touched me but im not counting it as a rep.
Typical daily diet atm
Breakfast - 8 eggs + 100-120g bacon with a BCAA shake multi vitamin and additional vitamin c
Mid morning snack - almonds or 90% dark chocolate
Lunch - 2 tins of tuna (roughly 240g drained weight), 1 avocado and roughly
50-60g of spinach
Mid afternoon snack - more almonds or 90% dark chocolate
Lunch no.2 - 2 tine of tuna, 1 avocado and 50-60g spinach
Pre-workout - some almonds, coffee + creatine + vitamin c and maybe an apple
Post-workout - 3 rice cakes, 200g~ peanut butter, some honey, a banana and a scoop of protein shake (I blend all this down into a shake btw)
Last meal (if I can fit it in) - 200g of sweet potato/rice and 200-250g of some sort of meat, usually it’s beef burgers.
That’s my Monday-Friday diet, on the weekend I’m slightly less strict but it’s roughly the same food. I have 1 cheat meal a week which usually involves a ton of burgers, fries with pulled pork and a triple flavoured milkshake 
Been on this diet for 6 weeks and have gotten noticeably leaner whilst also regaining my strength and size from pre-injury. Goal is to be strong as fuck whilst being somewhat lean. Mariusz Pudzianowski’s physique is my goal which will obviously require some “supplementation” which I am happy to do slightly further down the road (2 ish years).

You might consider hitting that part of the squat with some heavy partials. I see you’re doing pause squats at the bottom of the squat, so you might consider moving the pause up to that point instead. I found the former helpful in overcoming a squat plateau.
