Does that mean you could front squat more than you could back squat? ( think you front squatted 290?) yeah but, i was a knee wrap slag i only ever went up to 280 raw tbf, i have done 300k x 4 260k x 10 in raps front squat also was in wraps so we will see how it panns out, but it is strange the numbers | ||

However, they got the dates wrong and train arrived on the Sunday, so the woman who arranged the whole things job was on the line, and they arranged a private showing on the sunday I was asked to do it and it ment the money I raised I could use for more strongman kit for the gym. Pressing medley I made it a little team thing with myself and Ken teaming up with the two best athletes from the show on sat It was TJ and myself vs Ken and fraiser We had a mix of things so the smaller guys could bang a few things up and the heavies could be taxed enough to look like we where trying for crowd It was 70k barbell, 90k axle, 55k croft stone, 80k atlas stone, 80k grave stone and 100k grave stone TJ pressed the barbell and axle, tagged me in I got the atlas stone and the two grave stones in before tagging TJ back in to finish on the croft stone overall 54 secs Ken pulled out as his ankle was giving him bother and did not want to risk it 6 days before uks qualifier. Farmers walk was supposed to be a combined distance but with Ken pulling out we just changed it to time over 50m Friaser got 25m and dropped the 110k farmers where as tj got the full 50m in 44 secs with just two put downs, I managed the whole distance in 22secs no drops but with Ken not playing it was not as fun Atlas stone for height, 200lb stone with a rising bar Fraiser pulled out as he was done in from day before so myself and TJ worked ourway through to 6ft where TJ bowed out and I managed to keep going till around 7ft 6inch before I had ran out of arm length Crowd loved this event so, milked it claiming Scottish record!! Haha much to the slagging of Ken, but I invented event so it must be!! Was supposed to finish with husafelt stone carry but ran out of time Had a fantastic time in the highland games field, done the whole demo in my kilt and socks and was a buzz doing some strongman stuff for the first time since injury, I know it was not really a comp and the weights where light but it brought back some memories of the fun I had doing strongman that the serious injury kinda had wiped from my memory but hey ho back to the gym tomorrow for speed bench | ||

 Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | I hope Ken is ok(though I suspect he was just being a big girl  )That bit of fun hasn't tempted you out of your strongman hiatus a bit early? I bet you could get one of those UK strongest man qualifying spots next Saturday..... | ||

I bet you could get one of those UK strongest man qualifying spots next Saturday..... I would hold my own but, I would not be ready for final if I did fluke into 4th, so there would be no point, plus I really want to do well at wpf worlds in Miami so focus is on that But next year I might play Ken, cherry, lewis and the other qualified athlete will do Scotland proud in Belfast | ||
