excuses(spelling?).

Great to see you here Stephen.

Great Strongman session you had, it will build all over strength and the most important thing in Strongman Endurance.

Going to be reading your journal all the time now, and we can have a good banter.

Be good to see you up in Dumbarton when you can make it, 2009 comp looks good there is some very difficult and well thought up events in it, I think Big Andy Cairney loves to see the wee guys suffer.

respect to the guy who is not even sure how to spell the word "excuse"

so what are the events for the scottish u105?

Looks like your journal will fit in well here, although 3 sessions per 2 pages is a bit less bulls**t than the best jorunals here. Really it should be one session per page at best

Decent lifting as always man. Time to get your arse through to the unit tho, or otherwise maybe hook up with you at Dumbarton for a sesh sometime?

Was planning to just take it easy with strongman and just try nailing technique but will try organising a unit20 or dumbarton jaunt in a few weeks or so, need to keep tabs on you! Hows the knee?

buzz said:


Sounds good man! Knee is ok thanks, kind of gave up on the physio as they weren't doing f**k all, and instead just take ibuprofen before training now Reckon I'm back up to about 90% strength on most stuff (apart from back squats probably), and higher on some random s**t. Loaded the 129 stone for the first time last week (though i've done the 135 (a bit smaller diameter and a touch 'easier' possibly) before once) and was close to nailing the 140 which would probably be my first PB of the year Comeback is on though! Hopefully see you soon!

When/where is the Scottish seniors? I will try and make it along!

stephen said:s**t sounds like your making progress again I better get a move on!
That's good that your trainings picking up. Maybe you'll nail the 140kg when I head through, I wouldn't mind a wee go as well.
Seniors is the 3rd or 4th of nov(i think ) and it will be in grangemouth so not too far would be good to see you there maybe even talk some of the unit20 regulars into giving it ago?

Bring it on! Although no silly platform heights.

The powerlifting comp is an SPA ONE(affiliated to BWLA)so same rules ie single ply equipment, singlet, deadlift socks etc required, just need to join SPA(£20) and entry £15, I'll forward you an entry form when I receive one or I'll get an email /number for you to contact the event organiser. Don't worry about the level of people competing there's usually a good mix, from 1st timers to old veterans and people lifting both unequipped and equipped. Comps are always good to give your training some focus!
