| Late in the day, but my goals are currently: Deadlift 300kg (current PB 270kg) IFSA Log 120kg (done 110kg*2 on narrow log, 100kg on awkward/wide handled log) Front squat 180kg (usually good for at least 160kg) After my first comp it is clear that the deadlift and overhead are the priority, so I'm not setting any other strongman-specific targets at the moment, though would always like to improve my stones. | |||

| Congratulations Mick, good work. Planned to get down to watch but other things got in the way. Look forward to seeing you compete in the finals. | |||

jonnymills said: Yeah, you were under the weather, so f**k it. I believe my mate (Andy Withers) finished 7th (out of 12), so muct have done pretty well with that field! Yeah, he beat me by 1 bloody point. Not that I'm bitter. This was my first comp, so not much to compare it to, but some of the events were tough. The log, as Shawn has pointed out, is very awkward. That said, it's the same for everyone and, at the end of the day, some of us just weren't strong enough (and knew it before the comp). The deadlift was quite odd. To anyone doing the qualifier next week, have a look at your foot placement. I train there and I've used this apparatus before, so felt really confident; however, they had put a wooden block beneath it, and I just couldn't get any leverage. Felt like a right t**t. Overall though, a good day, and a well-organised comp. | |||
