knows some really strong guys Member 323, 1436 posts SQ 305, BP 200, DL 285 790.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Benvie said:I feel your pain mate, I also find 15" a horrible height to pull from and even worse when it's the Axle, don't find I get anything from the suit though. Strong pulling bud. I've tried deadlifting from this height a couple of times so I already knew it would be bad for me. I don't think the suit helps that much but it could make the difference on if you get an extra rep or not which means points. You'll need double figure reps for decent points I would imagine so looks like I won't be scoring high on this event haha. Leggiez said:I had it in my head that 15" would be like the 18" pulls that seem to suit the shorter guys (like at COC the other week with the 500kg pull from Andy Gosling) . But so far i havent seen anyone say that they like the height !! Some good work recently , looking promising for the u105kg comp m8 Cheers mate, 15" is horrible for sure. Another problem I have is that my axel is thicker and slippy than the ones to be used which means that the straps aren't wrapped around as good as they will be on the day. Was thinking of just deadlifting with the axel from 15" every week instead of from the floor leading up to the comp(I might not stick to this religously). What would anyone else do?

knows some really strong guys Member 323, 1436 posts SQ 305, BP 200, DL 285 790.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Trained today at Daniel's to try out his new kit from JT. Good productive session with Daniel and Nik, fast paced which means we got alot done. Mini IFSA log: 45x8 85x5 105x3 105x3 105x3 Found the log abit slippy due to the shiny new paint, comfortable enough with the weights though. Giant Dumbell: RH x5, LH x1 RH x5, LH x4 (All ground to overhead each rep) Took my new giant dumbell(Thanks to strengthshop) for a play and to christen it, only weighing 45kg the now but will add another 10kg shot in a few weeks which will be better to work with. Need to improve big time on one arm dumbell press. Quality bit of kit from strength shop, well built and looks the dogs bollox! Yoke: 240x20m 260x20m 260x20m Decent speed with these, well for me haha, weights felt comfortable. Yoke is by far more stable than mine which made it easy to walk with. Farmers walk: 105's x20m 115's x20m All comfortable enough. Stone to 51" platform: 135x5 (pb) Used leg wax and it was great, never had my usual problems with the tacky and was able to get a good hold of the stone. Great fun session and will hopefully get more in with these guys as I'm sure we can push eachother on abit. Session took 1hr 45mins which when you consider that we had to set everything up and tidy it all back into the garage it was a good pace to train at.

knows some really strong guys Member 323, 1436 posts SQ 305, BP 200, DL 285 790.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Was ill end of last week so never got any training done and also had a few other things go wrong the last few weeks so have missed alot of training. With that in mind I managed a quick session early wed morning at home. 15" axel deadlift: 75x5 125x5 200x3 240x1 260x1 235x3 215x5 This height is torture! That's all I had time for.

Went down to Glencairn gym with Nik, Jackie, Martin & Damien to try out some kit. Log: 25x8 65x6 95x3 105x3 105x2 failed 3rd 65x12 strict press Everything felt heavy, being ill and not training regular...felt weak! Farmers: 105's x30m (turn at 15m) 125's 15m 18" silver dollar: 190x1 270x1 310x1 355x fail 310 felt easy, Only tried 355 as Nik had a go with it so it would have been rude not too. Wheel barrow: 280x30m (turn at 15m) 280+110Nik x30m (turn at 15m) Great bit of kit and was fun to try something new! Tyre flip: 250ish x5 Really easy but fun all the same. Great session with a good bunch of people, with great weather to boot!

Cheers, would have been good if you'd been able to make it. Nik failed the 355 1st(that's why I had a go after haha), will be a nice battle with him in 2weeks. Not really ready but it's only for abit of fun anyway and with you, me, Daniel, Nik, Martin & Damien all doing the comp it should be a good laugh and pretty close between us all on alot of events.
