abs by summer 2011? Experts opinions vary Member 290, 2552 posts | Post Edited: 12.06.2010 @ 16:37 PM by tonyjb72 Comp report for St Ives Strongest Man 2010Silver dollar deadlift had a crack at the opening weight to warm up and felt heavy. Couldn't get a decent grip with straps. Thought it would be better in the event. It wasn't. Couldn't get a grip on the bar, so had to go strapless with a mixed grip. Much better and pulled 3 reps (280 kg). Thought this was OK (equal PB), but could have gone a lot quicker. 10th I think. Axle. Didn't have a lot of time after the deadlift as I was going first and felt like I had no oomph in the legs. No repped the 105  But 5 or 6 people no repped as well. Joint 8thFrame hold The event I was most looking forward to. Awkward frame and at 270kg, a bit heavier than the farmers last year. Went in the 2nd group and managed just under 39 seconds. Good enough for second behind Lee Marshall by about half a second. Beat Jamie though!  Loading Absolute shocker. Had nothing in the tank by now and managed just 1 bag in 41s. Last place s**te  Dumbell medley Got the 50 and 56 pretty easily in 23 secs. 63 wasn't quite there. But it will be another day. Strangely enough this was the event I was most pleased with. 8th in this one I think Overall 10th (beat Scott Litton Hayes on countback) Plusses. Grip still good. Deadlift OK despite never training 18" pulls and DB OH was OK Minuses. Need to do work on cleans, and conditioning, especially conditioning which was very poor Excellent comp again by Will. Very well run and organised. Looking forward to next year already | ||

 Still mostly bodybuilding Member 501, 10465 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq | Sounds like it was a good comp. As long as youve come away with lessons learnt then thats what makes it all worth it. Think if you were to ask a lot of strongmen about a weakness in a comp it would come down to conditioning. | ||
