That is a legit concern. When I'm training for an event, I have a tendency to get stronger faster than my body has ability to adjust to carrying the load. Thankfully, I have a good coach who keeps me well grounded, and on pace to reach my goals. (just on a slower pace than if left to my own devices)

Just reading that workload wears me out
There's a reason the sport is called Strongman. If it were easy, we'd call it "average man".
Seriously, those are just the numbers for the fat, old guys division. If you want some eye-popping shit, see the numbers for the Heavyweight Open division.
Log for reps 325#
DL for reps 750#
Sandbag load and sled drag 300# sandbags
Yoke 825#
There will likely be 60-80 competitors in that division, from all around the Nation. I guarantee that at least a dozen of them will make those numbers look easy..
