Ok EF members, time to get down and dirty! 
A little info about my past, I will have 2 years TOTAL training this may. I started out in bodybuilding and last summer got into strongman, competed and loved it. Took 3rd officially but off the record came in 2nd (last even got canceled due to lightening but i beat the guy off the record). When i first started i was only 145lbs and never touched a weight aside from the odd gym session of doing all the machines for an hour which the Ymca instructors seem to think is the best way to get big. 
I was put up with on and off injures after my contest till about november (went in with a pulled calf in the contest and made it more like a torn calf then tore my other calf on leg press a few weeks after that) and then got mono which lasted until around december. I had been doing bodybuilding still all that time and then decided one day that i loved doing the strongman and did pretty well so why not stick with it if its what i enjoy and am only doing BB because everyone else wants me to?
Short and sweet recap of the last few years, if you want any specifics then just ask. Here is my training log starting from the past week.

Back is very sore from yesterday. Took a light day today, will go for a new PR in squats friday, thinking 520...

315lbs x6 then 2x6 on HS Machine
Standing Calf Raises -

310lbs x15
360lbs x15
400lbs x8 had my belt on to support my back since it was sore and my knees were feeling dodgey so stopped early on these.
Then i did some REAL light lat pulls to loosen up my upper back and get some blood flowing.
