I haven’t done almost any bench training since i think end of December.. i decided to test it and did 120 kg/ 264 lbs for 10 reps. My old PR was 352 lbs (160 kg) paused while being 28.6 lbs heavier (13kg). I was 257 lbs(117 kg) now i’m 231 lbs (104.9kg)
I definitely had more in the tank, Did 230kg/507 lbs then 250kg/551 lbs then 3rd we did 270 kg/595 lbs.
My best is 280kg/617 lbs at 117.5kg/259 lbs
It’s a competition thats held once a year for beginners called “Nýliðinn” in Strongman in Iceland and at same time for guys who have done it before but never won thats called “sterkasti snáðinn” so it was basically two competitions at same time, new guys and guys who competed before. The guy who won ,,Sterkasti Nýliðinn” also won strongest overall..
Competed in this events in order!
Max Deadlift
I pulled 270kg/595 lbs with ease at rpe 6.5. Best max was 300 kg/661 lbs I wanted to pull 295-300 kg but my coach said no.

We stopped at 4 reps to save energy and to only beat the other newcomers!

Was suppose to be 100 kg/220 lbs but they changed to heavier at the competition!
I went 15 meters before calves cramped so badly i fell down.. best was 120 meters!
Farmers death hold straps allowed 122 kg/269 lbs each hand

I held for 1 minute and 16 seconds, best was 1 minute and 17 seconds.. basically almost less than seconds between us!
This is 115.5 kg it was suppose to be 110 kg but i calculated wrong so it’s 1.5 kg from my best but everytime i get over 100kg my balance gets worse. What am i doing wrong?
Hello i have 2003 Explorer with 3.73 diff and LSD, one owner since 2006. Anyhow i noticed when turning and accelerating i have this vibration from rear, it’s not much but you feel it, it does not happen when i accelerate straight or when i reverse straight. I did figure 8 driving and nothing weird then. If i coast and turn it does not happen! It was worse when i towed my pop up camper, i looked under the car, center bearing/carrier bearing looks good, nothing feels loose.
Any ideas?
I added bottle of Amsoil Slip Lock today and drove 25 miles and did few figure 8 circles and it’s still there.
