![]() Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16708 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Flash said: Cheers Will, want 240 on Sunday then I will step back from the heavy squats as its been tough on my body and limited what else I can train. Will focus around another lift I think. I do dehydrate yeah. Will usually walk round about 83.5, maybe 84, depending on whether the show is 24 hour weigh in or on the day. I was 85 the day before England's strongest u80 this year and to loose 5kg and compete on the day was tough, probably too much. Luckily I was that amped I won the first three events, but then faded very quickly, had it not been for the first three event wins I would of been f**ked. I would say, to operate, train and walk round at 84 is idea for u80 comps. The dehydration isn't hard once you get the hang of it. Just got to get the dehydration and rehydration spot on. Be good to do some u80 shows with you mate. that is good news. just broke below 84 for the first time today and it has been murder this week! I will pester you for a dehydration plan in the future. yeah thatd be good. lost my motivation a bit lately so hopefully getting my sights on some u80 comps will bring it back. | ||

Peaked at 230, not all that bad. Maybe if I rested all week 240 would of gone today, but hey ho. Log was decent though, looks like it's push press next week. 7/8 must be there on the day. Word! | ||

I got my plan of Bishy Block head, and it certainly works, just takes getting used to. I would recommend a trail run about a month from comp, then train a run through of comp so your body is ready for it. I look forward to competing again, we always have good battles. | ||

Write up from UKs strongest u80kg Arnold qualifier Was not really up for this comp, but had been half called out by some people on Facebook, so got my entry in, and a few weeks of training, and made the journey up to the north east to compete. Had been sitting around 84kg so the cut wasn't an issue, weighed in at 79.7kg and then went and gorged for the day before comp. Arrived early and the venue and got down to stretching and doing some mobility. We were then called to warm up, not much chance to get a lot done, so did some strict log with 75kg, then a double on 100kg and it was go time. Event 1 - 100kg log clean and press for reps in 60 seconds As I said, not much warm up, but got on with it. Was out last so knew what I needed, 4 reps was in the lead so I needed 5. Knew I should get this easy, but the logs were awkward as f**k, so needed to concentrate. Hit 4 in 30 seconds, took a breath, confirmed I needed 5 to win, then cleaned it and pressed it, simples. 5 reps, 1st place Event 2 - 200kg deadlift for reps in 60 seconds Only warm up for this was 2 reps at 160 so no idea how I was gonna do. Was a bit of confusion around the running order for the event and then Bob had a fit and I had no idea what was happening, lol. Had barely got my breath back from log and I was up. Lots of people were hitting 11 and 12 reps so knew I had to rep fast. Was two out after me, but was confident teens reps would win. I blasted out 14 in 50 ish seconds, and it was enough. I now needed to vommit big time. 14 reps, 1st place Event 3 - 22kg keg hold No idea where I was at this point, comp was running at a furious pace and I couldnt keep up. Was called up and still couldn't breathe after deadlift. Just grabbed hold of the keg and stood there, people shouting go to another place and believe me I was, I had no idea where it was though. Dropped it at 39 seconds which was good enough for the win. 39 seconds, 1st place. Event 4 - 250kg tyre flip for 10 reps Just what I needed, a cardio based event. Was out second group on this, and still needed to vom. Just went quick as I could under the circumstances and did it in 38 seconds. Was leading until last two, and they both just pipped me. Comp had only been running for 55 minutes at this point. 38 seconds, 3rd place Event 5 - 120kg stone over 4ft bar in 60 seconds Ran to the bog after the tyre coz thought I was gonna hurl, but kept it down and got ready for stones. Was 5.5 points clear at this point so knew what I needed. Was shocked to see people hitting 8s, 9s and 10s on reps here, as 120 ain't that light. Plewsy was in second going into this event and he got 9, so knew 8 would guarantee me the win. Lapped the first rep and popped it over, at this point the stone felt light as, it was 120 apparently, but as it had a small diameter it was easy to man handle. Hit 10 one motions before I knew what was going on, then finished at 12 reps (11 one motions) to win the event and the comp by 8 points. 12 reps, 1st place Overall, 1st place Happy with that. Gutted I didn't win tyre and make it a clean sweep, but hey ho. Think I proved something to a few people and happy to have dominated this category all year. Thanks to Bob and elite strongman for the comp, quickest I've ever done, 5 events in 80 minutes and all rep based. Not sure how I got through it ![]() ![]() Word! | ||
