Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Cheers lads. I would love to enter a few powerlifting comps - I just need to keep my ear to the ground and get my finger outta my ass! Millsy, Push Presses last night felt really good and I only missed the 3rd rep of the 3rd set because a wee doubt came into my head. I'd love to train at Adlington for the atmosphere - as you can tell, my gym is haemorrhaging atmosphere at present. | ||

Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Not sure at the moment Joni. I'm pretty busy for the next few months - I will decide soon though. Today I went to Results and trained with Big Ken and another lad. Log: 90kg, 1 95kg, 1 100kg, 1 105kg, f Carried a 120kg keg for about 20m. Farmers pick ups with 130kg per hand. Held for about 5-10 seconds. Did that twice. Atlas stones to a platform about chest height. 80kg, 2 100kg, 2 110kg, 1 Well that was my first ever strongman session and I really enjoyed it. It has revealed a number of areas I need to work hard and opened my eyes to what it really takes to perform well in this sport. Big thanks to Ken for taking time to show me the ropes. All the best for the SSM finals mate! | ||

Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Cheers Joni. I really enjoyed it and with more practice I am sure I can do alot better. For the record - I am really sore today. Hip, shoulder blade region and forearms are all pretty sore but I will be in the gym at the back of 5!!! | ||

 technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Excellent 1st session McLaren, stones & log especially. I really struggled with stones (cause Im a short ass). Some potential there by the looks of it | ||

Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Thanks JC. Hopefully Ken will agree with this but once I have the stone lapped, I will be able to get it on the platform. Its getting the thing off the floor that I found hard. 110kg felt like it was welded to the floor! | ||
