cant sing or dance = a powerlifter Member 1284, 1008 posts SQ 210, BP 180, DL 280670.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 21.03.2011 @ 14:54 PM by Riain Champions of the future Write up. 14th place.Farmers Sods law says i would be paired with Fatneck....BINGO! i was paired with Fatneck (a huge bloke by anyones standards) nerves werent helping either and my brain was t**tted with advice from anybody who was willing to give it, the race started, pick up was good BUT not steady, so i wobbled halfway down the course to make my first drop, reset, pick up was again good, but second drop wasnt far after, made it to the turn around determined not to drop it again, Pick up was again good and i held it steady to the finish, didnt warm up either which was a mistake, lesson learnt! 41 seconds (i think) Log and Axle Medley Paired with Mr. Fandango! i didnt listen to when i would be up so again, i did not warm up properly, the medley started, first lift on the log was a quick one motion, no issues, next was the axle, it was wet so my grip suffered, good clean all the same, press was easy enough, back to the log, good clean and press, back to the axle, took a few seconds for a breath, went for the clean and slipped on the ground, jumped straight back up to go for another clean (which was a terrible one, one in which i missed) took a few seconds to re-chalk and went for another clean, i caught it, but again slipped forward and landed on my knees, i DID attempt to stand up, but it wasnt going anywhere, i admitted defeat and time was called 3 reps Sand bag race Not an event i have ever had a problem with, i am only 77kg and very quick on my feet, the thought of running with 3 x 75kg bags did set the nerves off again, even so, each pick up was quick and movement was quick and steady, pleased with my time 40.6 seconds Conans wheel I had never actually done this event before, i had practised it with the yoke a few times but that was it. My name was called up and i took my place at the wheel, pick up was dreadful, so much so that i nearly fell over up to halfway round my first turn! LUCKILY by that time i had resteadied and could move at a steady pace, i suprised myself. 3 turns Car deadlift After the way the other events had gone, confidence was low, this wasnt helped when i watched atleast 7 heavy looking chaps fail to even pull it off the floor! i was called up, a few faces in the crowd had that classic `You will never lift this` look on their faces, Tony gave me a few words of wisdom as a wrapped up, something along the lines of ``You better pull like f**k on this!! `` so i did just that, first rep was an abslolute grinder, but a rep none the less, much needed points too! second rep WAS going the same way but i just couldnt quite lock out, there was plenty of time left but i know my body, second rep wasnt happening. 1 rep Stones Let it be known. I f**king hate stones, every stone i seem to lift is heavier than me by a large margin, i had managed 1 REP in training, i was not at all confident. I took my place all the same, Neil stood next to me with the tacky absolutely screaming at me to `Get that bas***d stone lifted!!` first rep flew up, i was stunned, second rep followed shortly after, and the 3rd! i dont know where they came from...i took a second to re-tacky myself and went for the fourth. GREAT SUCCESS! it went up AND with 20 seconds on the clock, at this point all sorts of abuse was being thrown my way to get that 5th rep in, so i went for it, lapped it, and time was called. 4 reps Some big lessons learnt today, and huge experience gained, i absolutely loved every minute of it, it was well organised an all the lads where top! not where i wanted to place i will admit, but next time will be different, very different!! | ||

 Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq | Your conans stood right out for me mate. Honestly didn't think you'd make a turn but you just kept on grinding. Really strong looking athletic build. Fill out to 90kg and f**king beastliness awaits. One to watch for the future. | ||
