knows some really strong guys Member 323, 1436 posts SQ 305, BP 200, DL 285790.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Quick session this morning out in the garden in the lovely sun. Squat: 25x10 70x8 120x5 170x3 200x2 220x1 170x8 Just messing about as usual as can't get motivated when training alone. Used my new strength shop squat bar for the 1st time, abit whippy which I'm not used to and also a little thicker bar diameter I think but all in all a decent bar I'd say. | ||

 Has a long back. Member 2322, 2464 posts SQ 260, BP 175, DL 312.5747.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Strong squatting considering you were alone , i really struggle to motivate myself in an empty gym . How come you had a 2 week break from training , were you away on holiday or did you just need some downtime ? | ||

Cheers, I wasn't really alone though as had my dogs with me although they tend to get in the way and put me off...walking under the bar etc when I'm squatting haha. Yeah was at the Isle of Man TT for a week and then last week was choked with the cold and night shift so just left training. I'm competing at the weekend at scotland's strongest team so you can guess how it will go with no training haha. | ||

Was a big mistake of mine coming in too heavy at the u105's, thing is I was under 105 all week untill the day of the comp and I'd starved myself the day before just to make sure I made weight ok but ended up being 106kg the day off the comp??? . Lean and mean next year....if I can stay off the stella haha  | ||

I remember the name. I would love to do one eventually, but cant justify the time and money just now. If it happened to be on when i was down anyway I would give it a go though | ||

knows some really strong guys Member 323, 1436 posts SQ 305, BP 200, DL 285790.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Competed at Alba West Bike shows Scotland's Strongest Team event on sat, teamed up with my mate Nik Thompson to make up team Umpa Lumpa. Typical scottish summer as it was wet and muddy so the comp was held in the beer tent. 1st event - Overhead press medlay: 75kg stone (me) 90kg stone (Nik) 100kg Log (me) 110kg Log (Nik) 120kg Bar failed (me) 120kg Bar (Nik) 64kg inch d/b (shouldered but ran out of time) (Nik) Decided that we'd just do an object each and tag each other in one at a time. Maybe not the best for speed but thought it the safest option. Annoyed I failed the 120 bar but I rushed it and never set up properly for it so rather than f**k about trying again just tagged Nik in as I new he'd do it quicker. Think we were 3rd in this? 2nd Event - Rising bar deadlift: 200kg (me) 230kg (Nik) 260kg (me) 280kg failed (Nik) 280kg failed (me) Same again just took the safer option and did one lift each. Combination of no warm up's and big jumps between lifts ie Nik going 230 to 280 meant failed lifts, the other teams were the same. 1st place in this I think? 3rd Event - Frame hold: 300kg x 36 odd secs (Nik) Was supposed to be max frame carry but event was changed due to risk of injuries because of slippy(muddy wet grass)surface and also lack of space. Only one team member was to do this so Nik done it as I'm still having bother with my injured finger....plus my grip is super crap anyway! haha 3rd place in this I think? 4th Event - Sweetie snatcher: Event was dropped due to the slippy surface(muddy wet grass) and risk of injuries. 5th Event - Stones to Shoulder: 90kg (Nik) 100kg (Nik) 110kg (me) 122kg (me) 132kg failed but close(me) 132kg failed (Nik) 132kg failed (me) Enjoyed this event the most as I've never done it in a comp before. 2nd in this I think? Joint 1st overall but 2nd due to count back. Great fun day and all the teams were pretty equal and anyone could have won. Thanks again to Andy, Stainless and the rest of the team for putting on another fantastic comp and to the Alba West Bike Show organisers for making us feel welcome. Can't wait till next year! | ||

Yourself and Leggiez should give it ago next year, even just to hear Andy on the mic. Quick bit of training at Glencairn alone. Squat: 20x10 70x6 120x5 170x3 195x5 195x5 195x5 All easy enough. Flat bench: 20x10 70x10 100x5 120x5 120x5 120x5 All easy enough. Think I might try and get my bench back up to were it was a few years ago and hopefully beyond seeing as I'm a good bit heavier in bw now. | ||

Would have fancied it this year mate if work and funds would have allowed, hopefully next year, more solid training mate and very strong squats. | ||
