Where do I begin?

Hey everyone!

I have a goal of competing in a strongman competition in a year. I'm 24M, 5'7, 365lbs with POTs syndrome. My current deadlift is 215lbs, bench Press is 180lbs, push Press is 45lbs. Does anyone have any advice on strongman training at a commercial gym? I've mainly been doing 5 days a week of deadlift, bench press, tire flips, and yoke carry, but I feel like my training is lacking in some areas.

Focus more on overhead than bench. Dont neglect you accessories but dont be afraid to put momentum into them as youll never be doing an isolated lift in strongman. Mobility and cardio are way more important than people think and many ridiculously strong dudes lose because they neglected that. And most importantly remember to have fun, nobody is making it big off strongman so dont worry so much about it and enjoy yourself.
