Great comp performances recently! Nice one.

You ready for Saturday mate?

Thanks Pete very nice of you to say so, really enjoyed the last two comps i've done.

I'm as ready as i can be Jamie, think i'm only gonna be getting two on the medley cos i worked out how heavy my keg is and at a push it's only 70 so i think 100 keg is a bit crack pipe. Still think your the favourite mate.

Mines only 85 and seem to only get that 30% of time so I think 2 is realistic for me too.

Well done on the win Matt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a big field of guys you beat!

Can't wait to hear more...

yeah where's the write up matt?

Thanks Sally, been decorating all day Ed(a little active recovery) so here it is.

28/08/10 EQ nutrition U/105 Natural comp

Truck pull

Everyone struggled with this one as there was a slight dip in the course and once you hit it the truck just stopped. got it about 40cm which was good enough for 4th i think.

200kg axle deadlift

Organisers decided in the morning that you could use straps which was better for me as i have elf like hands and have had a problem with my right hand recently. Rules were that you were allowed to bounce it at the bottom but as i have never bouced before i thought i would pull dead. Did the first 6 proper and then decided to have a go at bouncing well i got another 11 reps after that. It was like deadlift yo yo Think i came 3rd

Tyre flip

Knew this would come down to conditioning as it was only a 300kg tyre so just went balls to the wall for 75 secs and got 11 flips it was good enough for joint second i think.

OH Medley
70 barbell, 90kg axle, 100kg keg, 110kg log

After trying the equipment out and then talking to the other competitors the opinion was that the axle was more like 105 and the keg more like 90. The barbell went up no trouble, and the axle went up after a slight pause on the power belly(cough). Picked the keg up and got it to my chest but lost all my momentum so dropped it back down to the knees and it went a up, Took a long breather before attempting the log, managed to clean it no problem but it was'nt going anywhere after that so i binned it. No one managed to get the log so it came down to time on the 3. Think i must have been 3rd or 4th.

200kg Farmers Frame

This is always my best event, finished the course in 7.53 seconds for the win. The guy who went with me pressed me all the way and i only just beat him by a few hundreth of a second.

!st overall.

Can't believe i won it but i guess i was pretty consistant in the end. Really enjoyed the day. My little boy also really enjoyed the wildlife park

great performance mate,mr consistant!

Exactly what I was thinking

Top work mate!

Well done on the win mate.

Thanks hor the kind words guys.

congrats on the win matt
