left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	wow, fantastic result man - and i am talking about the individual events. You nailed good amount of reps, PB keg walk, good stones and so on. If you were last that was not due to lack of strength and ability, the field must have been really really good (as expected!). Mide Daly is a strong mofo and a great strongman, deserved win there.

always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 255, BP 167.5, DL 330 752.5 kgs @ 103kgs Eq	Great work at the comp and a massive well done for getting stuck in! Also well done to Andy for putting on the comp, I almost wish I was Scottish Mike Daly is a beast, plain and simple. I have no shame whatsoever in finishing one place behind him at the Unit 20 comp last November, in fact I feel honoured!

Old Age Presser Member 75, 8091 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Stevie, you did just great! Having the balls to step up to the plate with such a short period of events training behind you, and carrying injuries, puts you on a different plane from all these guys who plan to lift 'next year, when I get a bit stronger' - only next year never comes. Nike should sponsor you, mate, because I can't think of anyone who fits their 'Just Do It' slogan better than you. With your attitude, I'm sure you'll go on to great things - more so if you dump the fags!

tender forearms Member 193, 337 posts	Thanks Joni, Johnny, JC, Martin, Andy, Thing I really appreciate the comments very much, it was a great contest and as Andy said it was so close and electrifying, I was hounerd to be just there never mind competing, and every one where the nicest bunch of guys you could meet, Mike Daly really deserved and he was AWSOME. Martin you always leave great motivational comments for me, I really appreciate it, I like that one JUST DO IT. Andy are you looking for a wee week training partner you can throw about. Thing I am in Agony, especially with the 230KG deadlift falling out my hand at lockout and hitting me right on the left leg, it is bruised and battered and agony. Was shattered today, I am changing my training to more sets in the 3-5 Rep range either 5 Sets or 3 sets of 3 reps, this will give me a bit more total weights lifted and conditioning, also going to stop smoking and work on all my weak areas very hard, because the fittness you need for strongman is PHENOMENAL. Raw Bench: 3 Sets 25/20/15 Reps 20KG. 3 Sets 3 Reps 60/100/140KG. 3 Sets 3 Reps 170KG, very easy. Incline Bench: 5 Sets 3 Reps 60/100/140/140/140KG. Standing Barbell Curls: 3 Sets 5 Reps 20/40/60KG. That is it, very easy because I am very sore. Bodyweight 98.5KG.

tender forearms Member 193, 337 posts	Cheers Iain, I things still the same, Injury's every week as usual. Trained in dumbarton today, and I was absolutely Knackered, the comp took a lot more out me than I thought, my lower back was Agony, had too take it a lot easier today. Raw Squat To A Bench: 5 Sets 3 Reps 60/100/140/180/220KG. Seated Barbell Press: 5 Sets 3 Reps 40/60/80/100/110KG. Close Grip Bench To A Three Board: 5 Sets 3 Reps 60/100/140/160/180KG. Deadlift Hold Simulator: 4 Sets 260/300/340/380KG 20/20/20/10 Second Holds, I have a lot of work to do on grip this year. I could not do any more, I am done in totally, I have also changed my training reps to 5-6 Sets of 3 reps as well, to get more volume into my training, hopefully it will help. Bodyweight 98.5KG.

tender forearms Member 193, 337 posts	Cheers Thing, I have left the last 2 days, and feel a wee bit better again, but will leave the next session now to Sunday, because I was not 100% today again. Deadlift From Below Knees DO With Straps: 6 Sets 3 Reps 60/120/160/200/240/280KG, my grip is still F*CKED since Sunday. Axle Clean And Press: 6 Sets 1 Rep 60/80/90/100/110/120KG, took me aboiut 20 Seconds to get it to my chest, and pressed it twice, first rep was just up and down, and next rep was held for 1/4 of a second, but I done it, and it was with a non rotational axle, which is Harder, and I never rested on belt, just right upto to Belly, then a sod of a fight to chest. Axle Standing Press Lockouts: 7 Sets 2 Reps 60/80/100/115/125/135/145KG, moved about 3-4 Inches at my sticking point, and these where very hard. Right there is the UKSC Scotland's strongest man Open qualifier "So it is with the big boys" in about 2 weeks time, and I am thinking of enetering it, to come last again. The events are: 1. max Axle - Hopefully I will get 120KG on the day, and I will be happy. 2. Van Deadlift For Reps - I have only ever lifted the Van 3 times now and it was a light van, this will be Heavy, but straps are allowed, so hopefully, I get atleast 1 rep. 3. Medley 320KG Yoke for 20 Metres then load a chain onto a tyre and pull back - again I have done a 230KG yoke for 50 Metres 3 weeks ago, but have never tried 320KG so I do not even know if I will budge it, and I have no idea about the drag, never done it. 4. Farmers Walk Max Distance - again only done 110KG 3 weeks ago for 25 Metres, so do not even know if I will be able to lift these and walk 1 feet with it. 5. Truck Pull a 21 Tonne Truck 25 Metres - again I have never done it, so hopelly it will move at least 1 Inch. 6. Stones to a High Barrel 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160KG- Again only done stones 4 Times and I would believe it is going to be a high Barrel, I am only 5 feet 5 Inch, so I do not know if I will even get the first one that high. But saying that, it would be a hellava, accomplishment for me to even be there. The only thing I am concerned about is if I am going to Embarress the other guys there by doing this, because I repect them all, but I would love to try it anyway, what are people's opinoins PLEASE. I am not bothered about Embaressing my self, too old to even care now, but I realise to get better at anything you have just got to do it, even if it means not being able to do some things, because it will give me the boost to be able to at least do them next time, and I can keep my title as Scotland's Weakest Strongman. I would really appreciate your thoughts.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 8091 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	I'd take Scotland's Weakest Strongman over Scotland's Strongest Couch Potato any time, mate. If you have the right spirit - which you do - you'll be disrespecting no one. What's that Nike slogan again?

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335 850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 03.07.2008 @ 15:46 PM by JC Awesome training once again Stevie. Get the comp done, know way you will embarass yourself You will do fine on the axle and DL (you have a good DL) This also means you will be fine with the farmers (I have done 130 for 20ms and DL less than you, so I would think, unless ther 150 or something (you dont mention weight) you will be fine The medley/stones you will not embaress yourself either - i think, you think, your weaker than you actually are Just sw that you only 5ft5"!! I thought I was handicapped at stones at 5ft8" - you will have to try and nail plenty of technical work, like I am going to have to do. The long term aim is to shouldering 130+ so no probs with the load LOL

I am starting to think, I am weaker than I am, but I have proved I am weaker than I think, man that is confusing. But I will do it anyways, if I am allowed.
