pissed up bull in a china shop Member 684, 319 posts SQ 205, BP 155, DL 275 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 26.07.2009 @ 15:52 PM by Macredev This is what i posted on the Power & Strength board just now. Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2009 7:42 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday 26th July 09. Trained at Olympic gym Ashton under Lyne, Manchester. Deadlift, 155x5, 245x3, 330x3, 420x1, 506x1, 550x2, 550x2, 550x1. 8" Log Clean + Press, 205x1 strict. 8" Log, Clean + Push press, 220x1, 230x1. Cylinder Farmers ( combined weight), 230 x 40 metres, 360 x 40 metres , 450 x 20 metres. Suitcase farmers, pick and hold for time, 500x 25 seconds. Drove to the Oly gym in Ashton and have to say i was gobsmacked! This gym is the Real fkin Deal!. Hardcore. Caters for Strongman, powerlifting , Oly lifting and bodybuilding and its fkin massive. Don't know if it was adrenaline, but i planned on 550x2 DL today and got it twice plus another rep. I was like a kid in a sweet shop looking at the SM gear. I had to have a go at a log even though pressing wasn't on the menu, still 230 wasn't a bad weight for a first time log C+P. I'm gonna get here as often as i can now. _________________ Women weaken the legs I kept saying to myself and John Marsden, the fella i trained alongside, "I fkin love it here". Very , very impressed with the whole layout. My mate is coming with me from Barnsley hopefully on Wednesday to have a bash on the SM tackle. Anyway, congrats on a great fkin gym Sean McCarthy.

Yeah mate, i'm not the WSM , I'm weak on the farmers, but i never had a chance to train on the implements, my strengths are DL and Push press, 600lb and 300lb, got both at 200bw. Anyway, i look forward to meeting you fellas next Sunday, i'm in for the SM comp on August bank holiday so i need to start hitting the events big time. Cheers. Sean.

If so Very friendly fella. He told me about the camaraderie here, that's what appeals the most, everyone egging each other on to do their best, plus the banter of course.

I'm backwards with kilos, plus lbs seem so much heavier. When i go into my local boozer and have to order a litre of beer, then that is when i change to metric Cos i'm a brickie, usually have to put it in layman's terms for civillians, " I can Deadlift around 11 bags of cement on a bamboo bar. Thanks mate, cheers for the welcome.
