Balls, how am I ever gonna get a crack at the qualifiers if every time I get close to strong enough the weights go up? Surely the qualifiers should stay similar and the finals should be heavier? All I want to do is have a go without failing everything. Why is there no smiley with tears? Angry

Northerns! Ginger hair or wigs compulsory. (Enough thread hijacking now though!)

Olly, you fancy this Prestons comp'? Should be good fun for sure.

Look like a great set of events for me (relatively speaking) but I dont think so mate unfortunately. I work Saturdays during the rugby season and it's fair trek to make in one day.

Of course this sodding injury doesnt help.

onwards and upwards, as standards go up. So does the weight.

Bit like inflation Grin

Lol. Such is life.

Although pushing novice weights up constantly may take the novices out of novice comps!

the weights are light but no lighter than barnard castle or northumberlands n not much lighter than north east (110kg log)

i think there are very few comps that are heavy n can be classed as "open standard" if i only do those i will never get experience n hardly compete.

i actually think the light comps are any1's game. i competed at barnard castle and northumberlands n ended up a poor 4th at both, yet at uk north with heavy weights n the likes of col jones, wayne smith, liam o'sullivan n luke fulbrooke i came 2nd.

at preston the weights will be well in every1's range so speed n fitness will play major part which is what let me down in my two 4th places. on paper at both shows i was the strongest there but counts for nothing when the weights are light enough for every1.
