 technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Thanks boys Firstly, big hats off to Bob for running agreat comp yesterday. Visually, the events looked superb for the crowd, which was probably the biggest I have competed in....made it an awesome experience, so will done Bob I finished 10th of 10, but am not at all dissaapointed with that. I only let myself down on the medley I believe. Talking to the guys, and listening to their lifts, I just got beat by 9 stronger guys....no shame in that. 1st Event 28tonne truck pull - I was up 5th. Big Cuddles went out 1st with this, and really struggled to get it going, so straight away though 'f**k, it's heavy' LOL. Didnt find the start too difficult, squatted into it and got it going fairly well, I probabloy lost a few secs towrds the end as it was going quite fast and lost tension in the rope! Nailed it in 32.xx secs. Joint 5th (and beat Cuddles & Jay (I think) so made my day  )2nd Event 130KG Log - 6 reps. Strict pressed the first 2, then pushed pressed the next. Put it down and one motioned the next. Again put it down (I think?), cleaned and pushed pressed a further 2. Felt lighter than 130KG TBH...but the wooden log is BEAUTIFUL. 5th or 6th I think I was sitting joint 5th after 2 events....went quickly downhill from there LOL 3rd Event - 350KG Tyre x 6 Flips + 300+ Chain Drag - Flipped the 6 flips in my usual manner....not quickly, but got them done. Actually went to go for the chain after 5 flips, but was told I needed one more LOL. Waddled back to the chain which felt welded to the floor. Wasn't (overly) f**ked, lungs wise, but had nothing in the legs. Got it 1m I think. 9th Place...Dissapointing 4th Event 305KG 16" Deadlift x Reps - 1 Rep. Failed a 2nd at lockout (my knees weren't fully locked out Tony said). Happy with this. Partials is not a strong event for me. Also, Mike Woods, a 380KG puller got 8, so its not as though I could have expected 4-5 rpes. 5th Event 4 x 120KG Barrells from 3m - Theses barrells were BIG and heavy. Bigger and heavier than the OSG BIG barrell me thinks. The run in was pretty easy with the 1st, but tried my new technique on the load but it was a no go. Also tried to sit down with it, but couldn't get arms around the bas***d thing! No Lift! After the 4th event I had slipped to 9th, 0.5 points in front of Sean, and a few behind 8th, so new I needed good barrells too not finish last/get top 8....I didn't happen though. Great day, with a good bunch of open lads. Huge thanks to Tony for coming down and helping me out with motivation, straps etc....much appreciated mate, thank you. Time to put on some timber and get stronger. Out weighed by at least 3 stone by all guys yesterday....this needs to change! | ||

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Cheers Smalls/Macca Smalls - I did OK 1st 2 events, 5thish aint bad at all, but TBF, even in a 105 national comp I wouldn't be near the top half on 16" deeadlift & barrells, so not unexpected end result | ||

You earned your place there mate and went and gave it your very best shot .. What more can a Man do ?? I think you need to decide wether to go up properly or stay around for the 105kg`s .. I personnaly think you have the ability to do very well at either. Proud of you JC . | ||

 Conan likes to listen to music Member 1155, 3461 posts SQ 150, BP 110, DL 210470.0 kgs @ 88.8kgs UnEq | Good work JC. Looks like a very heavy comp and like Bob said 10th out of 38 is a massive effort mate. I've had a go at a 120 beer barrel and i think it's the most awkward thing i've ever tried to carry let alone load. | ||

Add some timber slowly (so I remian hunky & buff ) over next few years, and hope to be a bit more competitive | ||
