f**k me, 150 farmers is heavy, but with a high pick up, you will get them up!!!

mate, you have big balls and should definitely not think you are weak. You have jumped in the deep end with the cream of SM in Scotland, so it is going to be difficult. You could have done 2 or 3 novices, most probably winning or placeing very high, but you would rather test yourself against the best, and that should be applauded.

good work mate, you will do yourself proud at the comp. You only have to look at how complimentary robocop was of you effort in the SSM u105kg to release you can be a very good SM

do it steve. i cant do it as i'm at a stag in aberdeen so i'll be stupidly drunk. but you have the right fram of mind just now so get some experience in and take it as a learning curve

Hi Stevie, I trained with you for a few weeks(sun strongman at dumbarton) leading up to the u105's and tied with you on points in the comp. Was very impressed, thought you done superb especially considering that you only had a few strongman sessions beforehand, a couple more years and you'll be right up there garanteed! your trainings looking good.
Was also thinking of doing the uk's in dumfries(sp?), but I'm in the same boat as you in that the events are abit heavy and f**k knows if I could atempt them. Going to head down to dumfries this sunday or even up to dumbarton and then decide after trying the weights/events, even if I've got the slightest chance of shifting the weights(a rep or a few cm's) think I'll give it ago. Everyone has a pipe dream
