Member 2298, 1768 posts SQ 255, BP 200, DL 320775.0 kgs @ 127kgs UnEq | I really enjoyed the comp yesterday, only did the qualifier for a bit of experience so to get to the final and compete against the best in the country was an surprise anyway and I just wanted to mix it on the events and not get completely embarrassed. As always the log was my weak event and thought I'd be capable of at least one rep but I just couldn't get stable when it was on my chest. Really need to work on this. All the other events I managed to do although some silly mistakes meant I was in the bottom third of the scores in each event. Finished last but I learnt more from this comp then any others Iv done and I'm determined to get back there next year and put on a better performance. Great to meet the other athletes, some very strong guys and all supporting each other. Thanks to all involved in putting the comp on, thought it went ok when the events etc were finalised. Well done to everyone that competed, especially those that qualified. Hope to compete again with you sometime soon. | ||

Member 3600, 132 posts | chaos said: where you come you fanny? where's the write up? second... winner was 52points then a was 51points, thought i had done enough to win but was two other good lads that where heavyer then me that competed great throughout the day... was more so impressed with the young lad tht was there 18year old natty lad (not sure of his name) with some really impressive lifing, be a bright prospect in couple year! sadly ive gota keep my weight down for few more weeks which im finding difficult, looking forward to packing some beef on at the end of the year. should know by now my write ups are few and far between, by time i got home sat night a had to go back out to work, so never had a chance! was happy to get 140log made a s**te attempt at 150 but wasnt really interested as i had already done enough for second place on tht event which is seemingly always my weak event, and me and craigs log just arent compatible as it feels about 10kg heavyer than jt logs! was happy to yet again pull a comfortable 340kg deadlift with more there no doubt in my mind but 340 was enough to take the event win, conans was abit of a trial run for britains as sat was the first time i have ever used one so was happy with how it went and confident that bit more training there i will fly round next time. farmers i was confident again of an event win specialy going last up, the ground was rediculous with one side having a hill to climb with them, so being as clever as i could i darted straight to the flatter side leavig kieran to have the hilly side. finished in 17.8 seconds good enough for second palce by .1 of a second which was annoying my old friend chris bundell on the stop watch and his gammy slow fingers a think hahah stones was wierd for me, normaly a strong event, would have prefered heavyer stones, think would of done better at the opens stones than what i done at mine tbh, with the stones being so close to platform i didnt really get in the right momentum as a like abit of a gap but the way was set up couldnt really get away with moving them so place in ireland in my last junior year, see what glen has to throw at us over there and hopefully a drink with the lads when its all over!! | ||

Surprised they didn't let you try 155 or nominate a weight, or didn't they have any 2.5kg plates (couldn't see any thinking about it)? | ||

Is BSM last 105 comp or you gonna do 105's again next year? it is all guna depend on how i do at bsm105 mate, if i make top 2 and get the chance to go to worlds then i will probly be around 112kg as much more than that and it just becomes to much for me to loose to weigh in! if i dont make workds then i will be as heavy as i can be without giving away to much speed away, dnt wana bloat out to quick and end up gassing out on events! but this will be my last season at 105 now feel as if its time to move up.... see no reason why i cant mix it with the opens when bish and kesley have done it so well this year. | ||
