To be honest, just keep working on getting stronger. Events are fun to train but they all get easier the stronger you get. just amke sure you add in overhead work if you don't already do that

Consult your doctor to know if you can do it and what dosage would be suitable for you.

Training strongman 3x per week and doing a bodybuilding workout the other days? If you can do all that, you're not training strongman heavy enough.

Exactly!!! Bro a true strongman workout is very taxing on the body. I have tinkered with my schedule a lot. I am ab set on doing all gym lifts during the week and then do events on Saturday.

This is also because most competitions are all done in 1 day. So you need to prepare your body to do ALL this in one day

Exactly.

I just did my first contest a few weeks ago and was dead for 2 days.

Training was 2 heavy gym days with the occasional light session added in (went in to help ladyfriend train) with events on saturdays.
