tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | So I did the Zeus gym novice strongman today. Every event went smoothly, still only came 15th out of 16 though! 80kg log - went pretty well, got 9 reps, and just ran out of steam. 85kg Farmers - grip was fine, just really wobbly on my feet. Got to the end but in a slow time. 180kg deadlift for reps - 9 reps, really happy with this, as i was only expecting about 5! still one of the lowest scores though :/ 220kg Conan's - I worried about this one but it went okay, got two and a bit revolutions. Same problem as with farmer's - need to work on footwork. Barrel and stone loading - All went smoothly including the fifth and final 120kg stone. Didn't really fumble anything but everyone else was so fast! Happy with my performance if not my result! I reckon if I work on repping out weights and on my footwork it'll help an awful lot for next time even if I can't do any event training! | ||

If nothing else my conditioning'll improve by miles... | ||
