Member 5055, 95 posts SQ 180, BP 145, DL 220545.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Ive got a good feeling about terry this year at wsm. He was on cruise control yesterday. I think he will be top brit again. Although eddie has improved massively. Hix is very strong too. Not sure where loz is with his training and recovery from his injuries | ||

Think hixxy and ed have a great chance to make final. Both guys are improving rapidly and it is great for Britain. | ||

Go take your face for a shit Member 2553, 64 posts SQ 400, BP 290, DL 5001100.0 kgs @ 172kgs UnEq | Thought I'd give a little write up from yesterday! I already had a ticket to Wsm along with Laurence Shahlaei and Terry Hollands so didn't need to go balls out but did anyway! Everyone gave it there balls apart from terry his aim was just to qualify but everyone else had there game face on! I was so delighted to show everyone my improvements as haven't really had chance since Europe's last July.... Iv made my weaknesses a lot stronger and my strengths even stronger too! Excuse me if I get my placings wrong but this is just from memory no score card handy. Farmers and duck walk:- The farmers felt solid and got faster and faster with no slip in my grip whatsoever and the duck walk felt like nothing running back up the course. Claimed 3rd Log press:- My log press felt like a feather did 6 reps all one motioned STRICT 15 seconds to spare could have possible popped another 2 reps out but decided to save energy as didn't think anyone would beat it. Claimed joint 1st Deadlift:- The deadlift is something I wanted to really prove a point, I did 9 reps with 340kg with 10 seconds to spare. I was the only one to do this RAW literally in my boxers. Suits need banning' a few guys there wouldn't have done a single rep if they didn't have a suit on. No offence to anyone just think strongman should stay strongman not powerlifting. Claimed 1st Dumbell:- Tbh wanted to pull out at this point as had a few injuries surfacing from previous weeks but as I was in the lead my fellow athletes spurred me on. Did 4 reps which wasn't what I hoped I took my time as only had chance to practise it twice making the total amount of times doing the dumbell in my career 3 times. Claimed 3rd Conans wheel:- This was a tough event a 300kg quad bike. Did just over two rotations chasing Ben Kelsey's distance as I knew he would win this and was 2 inches short. Claimed 2nd Barrels and sacks medley:- Was pumped up for this, 3.5 points in front of second and wanted to score well and prove my progress with speed and agility. Went all out and even had time to give loz the middle finger half way through lol. Think I claimed 3rd Mr static is now mr everything and I still see my moving as my weakness so I will be working on these like crazy for next year... And I don't bulls**t, I would never say il do something or claim to have done something if I'd not done it. Don't think looking back anyone had me for 1st or even top 3 so was nice to prove my improvements in such an event. Anyway off to Wsm next week so logging off till after then. Wish us Brits a good one please guys, am sure someone will keep you all updated Ed H | ||

Member 4046, 590 posts | Was a really good day I thought. The crowd really got into it on some events, particularly Conan's wheel and the medley, and it was inspirational to see the guys give it their all and throw silly weight around. Ed's deadlifts and presses were just awesome and everyone in the top 4-5 were really, really close, which added to the drama. Great to see depth in numbers and its obvious that Britain as a good future in strongman. | ||
