SSMQ 2024 done and qualified for another final, now my 4th successful qualification from 4 qualifiers Event 1 - Axle Deadlift for reps: 5. Felt like I could have pulled 10 here if needed Event 2 - Axle clean and press: 4. Was the number I had in my head coming into this, executed as planned. Up against @louis_jack_strongman and @fraz0 here, very good company to be in. Event 3 - Steeplechase : complete (time unknown). Dropped my last pick of the 140kg and cost myself about 10 seconds. Was class facing off against @deanmcviestrength on this one. He was more clinical and deservedly beat me. Event 4 - Fingals Finger: 4. Hadn't trained this in two months and had never hit comp weight in training, but I knew 4 reps was needed to take the lead so got it done. Event 5 - Atlas Stones: 1. Best my stones have ever felt coming into this comp but wasn't to be. Thankfully was sat in 11th place overall coming in to event 5 so even with only one stone load I had done enough to qualify 🙏🏻 . Massive thank you to @stuartmurray29 and the @burns_gym crew for hosting yet another incredible qualifier. @hostilestrength for MCing, @carter05_sm for being on hand with some massage work, @benjoyce130 for scoring and everyone who gave up their time to help make the day run as smoothly as it did, you are more appreciated than you know 🙏🏻 Thank you also to @strengthshop and @ifstrongwear for your continued support and sponsorship even through my time out with injuries Last but not least thank you to @coached_by_caitlin and her family for coming to support, my clients @coba94 @jamieyoung1027 and @johnwilson3879 for turning up to support and everyone who messaged me before and as the day was going on.

It was on my mind 🧠 Now it's on your Instagram feed 📜 Advancing as an athlete is exciting, seeing numbers go up and lifts improve is the exact reason we all got into strength sports. But what happens when what worked for you at the start is now ineffective? This is where an honest understanding of your performance level is essential. Realising you can't hit heavy weight every week is often seen as a negative, but in fact it just means you're progressing as an athlete and becoming more efficient at your sport. Embrace the change, embrace the challenge. Be a better athlete.

🇳🇴 The Norwegian Method 🇳🇴 Hands down one of my favourite protocols for my athletes in the off-season. I've yet to have someone run this phase and not get stronger, whatever the lift. Applicable to everything from Front Squat to Strict Press, you'll be hard pressed to find a static lift that this protocol won't improve. It can be run as a block on its own as a high frequency phase with the same lift multiple times a week, or in place of your max effort work if running a Conjugate system on a single lifts. If you're smart with your exercise selection, running two full blocks back to back for a specific lift can really push your numbers into lifetime PB territory. The results really do speak for themselves on this one. Want to get the most out of your training?

This month officially marks the end of my second full year in the online coaching industry 🎉 The past 12 months have been incredible, I've narrowed my niche even more, had multiple podium finishes, and worked with athletes from First Timers to International level. Far exceeding any expectations I had for this short time in the game. This year has also been massive in terms of improving my service, I've invested in coaching software, and managed to become triple certified, working with and learning from 2 of the best coaches in the country @mstsystems & @tom_winningstrength which has expanded programming my knowledge ten fold. Next year, the momentum will continue, with a focus on levelling up my athletes and myself. My learning will now shift focus from Programming to Biomechanics and Sports Nutrition. Thank you to everyone who has worked with me over the past 2 years 🙏🏻💪🏻 DM for Coaching 💪🏻📥 @strengthshop - Andrew5 @ifstrongwear - MonsterMcWilliams #andrewmcwilliamsstrengthcoaching #teamIF #strengthshopuk #strongman #power #strength #scottishstrength #powerlifter #powerlifting #stonelifting #squat #benchpress #deadlift #athlete #olympiclifting #strengthcoach #onlinecoach #winningstrengthcoach #mstcoach #physiology #anatomy #kinesiology #braingains #anatomytrains #fascia
🧠 Physiology Phriday 🧠 The Superficial Front Line is a line of fascia that runs the length of the anterior side of our bodies from the top of our toes to the base of our skull. The muscles of the SFL are responsible for creating flexion of the trunk and hip, extension of the knee joint, and dorsiflexion of the ankle joint. Understanding SFL as a coach can allow us to identify structural balance issues within the musculoskeletal system of the SFL and, in certain cases, influence positioning through exercise selection. Common issues that occur within the SFL are limited plantarflexion, hyperextension of the knee, Anterior Pelvic Tilt, breathing restrictions through rib position, and forward head posture. These issues will almost always rely on the SFL / SBL relationship rather than SFL alone. Unsure how to apply structural balance to your training?

Strongman Comp Prep vs Bodybuilding Prep It was great getting Caitlin along to hostile for a session yesterday. Bullied her into heavy squats, and she really enjoyed them (she will tell you otherwise 👀) Ticking boxes daily ✅️ DM for Coaching 💪🏻📥 @strengthshop - Andrew5 @ifstrongwear - MonsterMcWilliams #andrewmcwilliamsstrengthcoaching #teamIF #strengthshopuk #strongman #power #strength #scottishstrength #powerlifter #powerlifting #stonelifting #squat #benchpress #deadlift #athlete #olympiclifting #strengthcoach #onlinecoach #winningstrengthcoach #mstcoach #physiology #anatomy #kinesiology #braingains #anatomytrains #fascia
🧠 Physiology Phriday 🧠 This week, we look at the Superficial back line. A myofascial line that runs the length of the posterior side of our bodies, providing connection and protection from the soles of our feet to the top of our heads. Doing strength sports, you will know that training muscles within this chain will make us stronger and more resilient within the sport, primarily better at extension in the way of Deadlifts, Atlas Stones, Sandbag toss etc etc. However, understanding the SBL as a coach can also allow us to identify and correct some postural deficiencies through exercise and play a role in injury prevention. Common issues that can be highlighted in the SBL are dysfunctions such as hyper-extension at the Knee joint, Anterior Pelvic Tilt and excessive Lordosis or Kyphosis of the spine (although some of these dysfunction will depend on the SBL / SFL relationship and aren’t exclusive to SBL). These dysfunctions, while not inherently negative on their own, can put us in to compromised or weaker positions when preparing to extract maximum strength from an athlete.

🧠 Physiology Phriday 🧠 Motor unit recruitment and neurological skill are arguably the 2 most influential factors in how strong you're able to become as an athlete, especially if you compete within a restricted weight category. Without them, regardless of how muscular you are, your limited ability to coordinate and recruit motor units is holding you back. As the saying goes, success leaves clues, so what do the likes of @deanmcviestrength , @rhi.lovelace , @_chrisharper and @ben.donin.strong all have in common? Firstly, they sit close to, if not slightly, over their target weight category year round, at a fairly lean body composition. Filling the weight category with lean muscle mass is the best way to ensure your strength potential is at its highest. Secondly, and more importantly, they are extremely skilled and efficient at every lift. They need to be, in a competitive environment where "mass moves mass" no longer applies. Being efficient is your only choice to be successful. So what's the best way to be efficient? Become extremely skilled at what you do. Olympic weight lifters are the best example of this. Lifting multiple times their bodyweight overhead with speed and precision. Unsure how to maximise your skill and performance?

🧠Physiology Phriday🧠 💧 Hydration for Performance 💧 As little as 2% dehydration has been shown to have a negative effect on strength and power output, so if peak performance is your goal, keep reading. Water intake - This can vary from person to person. But a good start is to multiply your bodyweight in kilograms x 0.03. This will give you your minimum daily water intake in litres. Electrolytes, primarily sodium, play a vital role in rehydration and regulating the bodies salt balance that can be thrown off by sweating heavily or for prolonged periods. Glucose, being a carbohydrate, also plays a role in hydration by helping with sodium being absorbed into your muscles. Daily Creatine Monohydrate supplementation can also be a useful addition by pulling more water into the muscle cells. So what's the best approach? Buy a top of the line, expensive rehydration drink? Probably not. If you’re faced with a competition ahead or a particularly long and greulling session, simply adding salt to your water intake for the day will go a long way to helping keep you hydrated. For full day competitions, bringing along some fruit juice to sip on can also help by providing a steady income of easily digestible sugars.

🧠 Phisiology Phriday 🧠 As with most skills, getting an in-depth understanding of movement begins with the basics. Strongman and Powerlifting are two of the most Sagital heavy sports in existence. Squatting, Deadlift, Bench, Log Press, Atlas Stones, etc all operate within this plane. While getting strong in this plane is essential for success in the sport, a successful off season should also include both Frontal and Transverse elements (Lateral and Rotational movement). While they aren't essential to the sport as such. They are essential to human movement and injury prevention.

🧠 Specific Repeatability vs the voice in your head 🧠 It's so common to see lifters just going through the motions on EMOM work, counting down the time so they can strip the bar and do the next exercise. Switch that mentality for one of opportunistic gratitude and being excited about the chance to iron out those pesky weak spots, you'll find the results return 10 fold.

✨️ Skill ✨️ What does it mean to be skilled at a lift? A skilled lifter can usually be identified by one's that uses their leverages and the most effective technique to create the most efficient bar bath. Think of the light weight Strongman or Woman who will clean the axle and split jerk it like an Olympic lifter. Utilising everything from hip contact, belt cleans and triple extension to save as much energy as possible for the press overhead. Compared that to the lifter who yanks the bar from floor to belt with a foot long gap between body and the bar, it's not difficult to guess who's progress is going to stall quicker. Luckily, all skills are learnable, you just need to be willing to take a step back to take 2 steps forward.

🧠 Self-Talk 🧠 We have roughly 60,000-80,000 thoughts per day (2500-3,300 per hour!) 🤯 And 90% of these thoughts are repetitive, which means you have thought them before... Imagine what happens if you think 1 negative thought about yourself, that then spirals to 2, then 4, then 8 and so on 🥺 In the words of @eckharttolle "The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but the thoughts about it, be aware of the thoughts you are thinking" 💭 It's never been truer; your thoughts have an impact on your feelings and therefore your actions. So let's try catching yourself out next time a negative thought 'pops' into your head 🤞🏻✨ #hannahkayfitness #HKFcoaching #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #theteamyork #indisputablefitness #teamif #ifsupplements #selftalk #positivethinking #thoughtsbecomethings

🧠 The Dunning Kruger Effect 🧠 Something not often discussed in coaching is this effect, where low competence actually presents itself as a highly confident individual. Think of the typical newly qualified PT, probably in their teens, full of self-confidence, fresh off their Level 3, and think they are now the most knowledgeable person in the industry. While annoying, it is an undoubted right of passage. Whether the peak of "Mount stupid" lasts for 2 weeks or 20 years, we've all been there. The important part is to never stop learning as a coach. The past 2 years for me have been the most progressive of my life, working with and learning from the likes of Sebastian Oreb, Tom Hibbert, and currently, Shane Jerman. This opportunity has well and truly taken me on an express train through the "Valley of Despair" and only within the last few weeks do I now feel like I'm starting to climb the "Slope of Enlightenment". Long story short, never be complacent. There is ALWAYS someone smarter than you, better than you or more experience than you. The best thing you can do is pick their brains at any given opportunity.

5th place for the big man yesterday in his first ever comp - Angus Strongest Novice. Me and Conor have worked together since last September and he has made monstrous progress in that time. Taking him from a 60kg Axle to 100kg, an 80kg atlast stone to 140kg and a messy 160kg Deadlift to a clean 200kg, to name a few. Conor followed his prep to a tee and it showed, a PB in every event of the day and a top 5 finish against the strongest first timers lineup I've ever seen.
