Any idea how long we spent on conditioning today, maybe 30mins? well it was about 6.30 when we did some bench... and near enough 8 when we finished snatching. i only did 4 sets of bench... go figure. at least 20 mins. | ||

 Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Dont know if I feel better or worse now??? Also, big pressure from my training partners who all placed in top three in their respective first competitions!!! As for dynamic effort and cardio...I sit down for a living and have encorporated cardio by walking from the carpark to the gym...lol. Hoping that strength will be enough to do OK and will just have to really go for it on the dynamic events and keep the oxygen nearby!!! As my mates keep saying, just do it first and worry about breathing afterwards... Incidentally, I Can lift 350kg off the floor....(but thats with a forklift)!!LOL! Planning to have a week off training leading up to this...I am told that's a good idea. What time does it all kick off? | ||

 has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | andysmiles said: who is ben? Ben France. He won the Fitlike comp in Scotland last year. No offence to anyone (and I'm sure there'll be some dark horses on the day) but Ben will probably start as favourite. andysmiles said: is he on here? Yes, he is on here as Ben_F. | ||

 vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | No pressure then! LOL Seriously though, I think in a line-up of 20 or so competitors you are going to get a good mix of experience and ability. I don't think I am the favourite as there will inevitably be some beast training his ass of and keepig a low profile. Plus, according to Glen's earlier post, Jack and his lads are going to win every event anyway! As long as I feel I have given 100% and performed to my best I will be happy, regardless of results if I do that then I know I will enjoy the day. | ||

Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Scanning through the list of entrants, I would say Adam Hales is a top contender, great performance at the U90s final and getting better & stronger all the time as he gains event training and experience. So, Adam is now favourite. (Sorry, Adam). | ||

 Member 735, 1193 posts SQ 220, BP 135, DL 235590.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Pint said: So, what kind of cross section are we getting. I know that I am a first timer Novice, I can also see that we have at least one national level competitor...What kind of calibur are the rest of you guys...Am I the only first timer? Do we have some Intermediates? any Open Competitors (though I only know one natural 'open' competitor)? What about weight split, looks like we are going from around 80kg all the way up!!! Should be a good cross section of people. Also, are family and supporters welcome to attend? Is there other stuff going on (for kids etc)...? everyone is welcome to attend, we are still trying to get the kids activities sorted out (it was the last issue, having a kids activity and no kegs for the competitors would have been abit useless )there will be astall with some spectator challenges and food will be available through the kitchen of monster gym going by t-shirt size theres an even spread going from little squirts in mediums all the way through to the fatty boom booms in XXXL, but then again maybe we just have one of those vain fatty boom booms who likes to squeeze into a medium t-shirt for a friday night quite a few first timers going by this thread and all the speculation on who will win maybe I should organise a local bookie to come and have a stall | ||
