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? ![]() | ||

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. | ||

another lover of conans wheel Member 1116, 2379 posts SQ 275, BP 210, DL 330815.0 kgs @ 134kgs UnEq | 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. | ||
