I'snt bothered ....... honest Member 1291, 73 posts | Interesting what neil (junction owner) - said to me today! Im too modest to say that I have a chance of winning this competition! Ed hall, jack mac have been world class and are the future of this sport at all levels! But I will say this - before I tore my bicep off I finished 5th or 6th in a major opens final (which ed hall won in 2010 - englands held by bob dalgleish)....since then Ive loaded a 201 kilo stone on my 3rd stone session of the year....ive run with a 390 yoke and a 320 deadlift off the floor is nothing for me..... The owner of the comp venue asked if I could be the wild card entry and it has been completely over looked! In fairness I havent competed for a while as I was getting over a major injury so there is the argument of why should I get a shot at it based on performances! The answer is I shouldnt..... But if a guy has a realistic chance of being top 5 if not higher why isnt he in? Why did some1 say to me I have a great chance of winning uks next year? and now turning around and saying Im not in contention at all??? seems odd to me that?! If this had of been held at another gym I wouldnt of said a word based on the fact I havent competed since april! But the fact its being held at the gym I train at, the fact the owner requested I be a wild card, and bearing in mind my gym form (witnessed by the selector) and also the fact Ive finished quite high in a major opens final (when others in this comp havent!) I cant help but think favourtism is being shown by people who i actually thought were my friends!!! In any case good luck to all the guys who compete - and espcially my mates tom shaw and mark lawson! I will be there to shout you on! | ||

 technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | I'm sorry Steve, I dont mean to be rude, but IMO, you have done nothing in the past to warrant a wildcard to a comp of this standard What you have and haven't done in training whilst not competing is pretty irrelevant That may sound harsh, but is very valid IMO I'm sure next season that you can show people that you deserve to be mixing with company such as the names above | ||

I'snt bothered ....... honest Member 1291, 73 posts | JC i seem to be remember you mocking me about whether i could deadlift 380 off the floor in comp without straps?....then hours later i did it with no belt....You were wrong then and you are wrong now ha ha ha No seriously mate I agree - i havent done anything in comp, but the bottom line is - im good enough and the gym owner requested a wild card and shud of got it really! Thats my point! | ||

I'snt bothered ....... honest Member 1291, 73 posts | and i miss read your comment = i think 2010 england final was a quality performance! I finished last in the truck pull but had never done it before and had slippery trainers on! that cost me 3rd place behind ed and jay! i was close to ed and jay hughes that day and beat ed in the medley and jay at the deadlft ....does that not make me a competitor? | ||

Thats my point! I dont recall me mocking you....ever  Why I'd mock someone stronger than myself is beyond me!Guys have obviously been picked on there 2011 results, with unfortunately, you dont have. I therefore, cant really see how you can grumble at not being on the list. | ||
