 I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 14.09.2009 @ 10:35 AM by PAGAN Comp ReportHad no idea what to expect from this comp as it was only my second comp and my first bash up against the big boys. When I saw some of the guys I was competeing against it's fair to say I nearly got back in my car and f**ked off ! anyway after signing in I rushed off for my pre comp Macdonalds and that settled my nerves if not my stomach. Farmers Walk 100kx30 meters with turn at 15m. I drew number 6 in the running order so got to watch 5 blokes before me. There were a good few droppages and iirc the measuring tape had to come out at least once. I knew I was good for distance so seeing this gave me a bit of confidence. As I'd hoped I made the distance with no droppages although I would have liked to have gone a bit faster and been slicker on the turn. I dont know what my time was or indeed where I placed but I'm guessing top 4. Static Hold 200k for time Wasn't looking forward to this at all and never done it before.I did think I might do ok however after seeing how many people dropped the farmers. I was wrong !I drew 6 again , which was a bit spooky and after seeing guys who had dropped the farmers get up around 50 seconds I felt 60seconds would be a good target. 20 seconds seemed like an eternity and after 30 seconds my legs wobbled and it was all over 6 seconds later. 36 seconds and right down the bottom of the field if not last. Farmers grip obviously does not translate to static grip. Log 95k Log for reps One rep was gonna be a PB for me and after drawing 6 for the third time straight (666) in the running order I thought I was either gonna nail it or have some kind of horrible Carl-esque disaster. Luckily it was the former. I'm not going to claim the PB though as the handles were so wide it really wasn't like any log I've used before and I think this did make it easier.I actually thought I might get another rep but after a failed attempt and a reclean I realised it wasn't going to happen. I think the winner got 8-10 reps and my one rep probably left me mid to lower table. Yoke 250k x 30mtrs with drop and re-pick up at 15mtrs I've done 260k in training a couple of times so I knew I could do the weight. I drew 11 in the running order which was last so got to watch everyone else go before me. Rather than help I just seemed to be burning nervous energy waiting for my turn. Thanks to Boar Jnr I was well chalked up around the shoulders and managed to do the first 15 mtrs with out any drops. When I picked the yoke up for the return journey I took it a little low and I dropped it after about 5 mtrs. I made sure I took it higher on the next pick up and finished the course without any more drops.Dont know my time or place but I reckon I'd have been top 4 in this event. Tyre Flip 30mtrs course with unknown weight tyre. Tyre was not nearly as heavy as the Olympic Gym tyre but I really couldn't say what it did weigh. I drew 11 again which meant I got go last again. This did help me this time round because watching everyone else it became apparent that with a big enough push on each flip it was possible to complete the course in two less flips over the two lengths than people who just basically letting the tyre fall.Like two or three other lads I was able to do just this and I think I must have finished top 4 in this event, probably on the back of that stratedgy. Medley Duck Walk x15 mtr, 100k Barrelx15m ,50k Barrelx15m, Sled Dragx15m I was absolutely f**ked from the tyre flip so was hoping to draw a high number in this. I got 7 which was pretty good as if I'd got 1-3 I think I'd have failed to pick up the duck walk.I think this is where the draw system could have unravelled but then again everyone has a fair chance I suppose. Duck walk went well and then the barrels went even better so I was starting to fancy my chances of a good finish in this final event but then came the sled drag ! My sled dragging sucks. I've never done a sled drag and based on yesterdays performance I never want to do one again. I just could not get the f**king thing going at all. I ended up wrenching it up the 15mtrs in about 4" increments over what seemed like 3-5 minutes.I'd like to say I was pleased with seeing it out but to be honest the state it left me in I wish I'd wrapped it in. I think I got to Leeds on the way home before I started to come round. Anyway I assume I came dead last in this event. Overall it was good experience and taught me a lot. I was very suprised to hear my name called out 4th with some of my poor performances but I was pleased non the less. Thanks to Jason and all the other people who helped put on the comp. Do I win anything for the longest most self indulgent comp report ever ?  | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 23029 posts | Well done, PAGAN! Sounds like a great performance! PAGAN said: Farmers grip obviously does not translate to static grip. It should do! Maybe you just didn't have much left after the farmer's, or maybe you didn't have it set right in your hands. | ||

Cheers mate , I'd like to think I struck a blow for the slighter chap.I always thought I had a crap grip until I tried farmers walk and max deadlift. I'm assuming I dont have great grip endurance as farmers never last more than 30 seconds regardless of weights. | ||
