Fraise farmers were awsome sled was great and your yoke / duck was madly improved Really really good performance which was overshadowed by a tape malfunction but a garentree you'll never let that happen again .. Happened to me before and it sucked! Pleasure riain an thanks for getting me through the day | ||

Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | Look at that performance! It's hard to have a perfect day at the office riain and rare! And if stones went well I think you'd of done the best possible outcome. You should be happy and use this to bring more confidence to your next comp (I hope you do one) you'll never let that happen on stones again (trust me I've done it once!) your farmers were fast on the way back ., now go that speed every direction now you know you can and how to! Everytime I see you compete I see the crazy potential and can't wait to see you with more consistent events training ... I can see where your good and bad events will be already ... And once you start turning that bench power into log power that will be a mad event for you aswell! After I cramped at dragons II (and after England's I lost callouses , cramped, lost tacky off sleeves) I sulked for weeks then got m head out my arse and got back to it ... Stick at the strongman! 1 or 2 years be close to ESM XXXX | ||

cant sing or dance = a powerlifter Member 1284, 1008 posts SQ 210, BP 180, DL 280670.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | BSM 2012 Write up Well. Were do i start. Woke up at 4am to jump on the scales and see if i was even near to being 80kg... '80.3kg' close enough for me! 8am soon came round, i arrived at OSG not overly confident as to whether i was in, my tongue was orange, piss was brown, skin dry as leather.. Jumped on the scales in just my boxers and BOSH! 80.0kg from then till 11am i raped my body with slimfast, porridge, honey, deoralite.. Anything i could get my hands on.. Yoke and Duck walk Ive never been a good yoke runner, and i only ever done the duck walk once, i was number 17 and last up which suited me just fine! I was called up, Yoke was slow BUT it was steady, jumped straight to the duck walk and waddled as fast as i could (which i think saved me some time) 9th Place and Mid pack! Which in its self is an achievment for me Log medley I had confidence going into this event, but after watching some VERY good pressers only manage two logs out of 4 i wasnt so sure, either way i stepped up to the 1st log (90kg) cleaned and strict pressed, BAM straight to the next (i knew the first two logs ATLEAST had to be fast) again, a quick clean and press, 3rd log up, and while the clean was easy i whacked my ball bag as i did so, yup.. I lost all air and had to walk away.. Even so after this event, i was 4th place over all.. Suprising 15" Max deadlift This was my territory and a nice comfort zone for me mid comp, i opened on 250kg, ripped up easy enough, i KNEW shane would either be one step ahead or hot on my heels all the way up.. 280kg, again pulled easily, 300kg, at this point alot of gents had dropped out so the call ups where more frequent, i THINK after 300kg was pulled only me and Shane remained, and we HAD to do the 10kg incremental jumps, i was first out on 310kg and my back was on FIRE! I had to fight to pull it, but it was successful, shane then pulled it with similar ease.. c**t  320kg came up, i HAD done this in training before but i went in with a MAX PULL mind set.. But it was enough pulled to the knees but failed lift.. 2nd place - 1/2 a point off 3rd overallCarry and drag Nobody knew what this event would be, so i hadnt trained it, 108kg sand bag to a platform and a sled drag back across the line, it took all my mong strength but both the bag AND the sled were completed in a relativley quick time (of which i forget) 3rd place in overall standings 112kg Farmers Ive never had an issue with farmers walk.. But ive never been the quickest either, strong grip and mongy back benifited me greatly, i stood at the start line, whistle blew, and i absolutely gave it everything, the run there wasnt explosive, but quick enough AND steady, the run back i made sure i made my time up, and i did.. 17.92 seconds which put me in a GOOD 3rd position with Mr vause hot on my heels in 4th Stones Well. What can i say. I blew it here, ive never had trouble with stones but the powers that be pissed on me, i KNEW vausie was 2 points behind me so i needed atleast 3 stones (which i was confident of) 1st stone went up with ease.. And the disaster, all the tube grip, duct tape and tacky slide down my arms into a big lump on my wrists, so now my arms were dry and i had no tacky on!! I had to laugh, trav tryed like f**k to cover me in tacky, but ofcourse, the tacky was cold! I made one last attempt at the 110kg stone and had to admit defeat, lesson learnt! 6th place over all. I loved the day! Great set of athletes, great banter, fantastic set up and another well run comp.. I hope i made a good account of myself, and that set back on stones has given me the desire to do better!! ONWARDS!! | ||
