Tough one to call, I'd prob go option b but like you say both have pros and cons and you obviously have people around you who know a lot more about it
Nice first session back after the weekend, really needed it.
Just did some squats, nothing major.
140x5
160x5
180x5
200x5 pretty comfortable
and a cheeky 240 single which felt heavy.
Plan is to just add 5kg a week onto these lifts and see where it leads. similar percentages for deadlift and overhead most likely.

I guess your posterior chain gets hammered enough with the Strongman work so you retain your squat strength.
Seen the same scenario with other strongmen.
Yeah, more than likely. Would be nice to smash out a couple of PB's though! lol few few weeks and i might have a bash.
nice little session today, we have cut the group in half so managed to get alot more training and one on one time with the trainers.
Started on axle, however the bicep issues i had at the start of the year seemed to come back, i just couldnt rack the bar without major pain in the muscle bellys, really pissed me off.
Moved onto heavy farmers, 1235kg each hand with skinny little handles. 5 x 20m runs.
Pretty fast, comfortable enough.
Stones, fe light one, and a few heavy ones. loaded the 175kg which was a big PB. tried the 200kg but it was pretty much unused and slippy as fook. got it off the floor but couldnt lap it. Happy with the 175 though.
Moved onto the new metal husafel stone. started with it empty (~70kg) just filled the thing with sand untill it was almost impossible. ~130kg
Im sore, and getting grief off the wife again. lucky me.
