JP builds up to Finlands Strongest 105 in 2013

[JP]

went in with one mission in mind, max strict press. Felt pretty beat so everything else was a bit half hearted.

Strict press off blocks
5x50
5x50
1x50
1x50
1x70
1x80
1x90
1x100
1x106 - pb

pretty important pb for me, it was in 2008 when i did 105, and then tore my pec and it has taken me this long to get back to it...

deads from 14.5 inch
5x70
3x110
1x160
1x190
1x220
1x240
1x260

quite bullshit pulls

then some stiff legs and tried to do my push press graft but wrist too sore - maybe deserve some time off them anyway

[Frostfire]

Well done on the strict press!

[haisuli]

Yes, and other PBs are great too!

[vegan hal]

Thanks

i have to say, 130 log is the single biggest achievement in any lift or event for me in strongman... buzzing!

it was then revealed that the log we have counted as 70kg is in fact 72 - so should i now go back and amend all my pbs up by 2 kg? so 130 becomes 132 and my todays triple is with 112?
