Just got back from my first event training session with Mark at Olympic. Top bloke and a proper set up.
Cheers for all the advice and training tips - ill be down again in the next few weeks to try and get that stone onto the third platform.

alright mate, how was training? i didnt realize you was training with mark when we turned up yous was already training!
Awesome mate - i loved it. Think i did alright considering it was my first time with any event equipment - gonna try and get over again in the next couple of weeks.
Where were you training?

yea was great! i was on the platform just infront of the strongman area! deadlifting at 1st then went squating then all yous went earlly? then we went outside did some big tyre! then yoke then stones mate!
what did you do?
what did you do?
We got started around 10.20 so by the time we left it was around 1.30pm and i was f**ked.
Saw a few guys on the deadlifts - which one were you?
I did log press, axle press, farmers, yoke, log bench press and finished on atlas stones. Im pretty happy with what i have achieved today and now know what i need to train more on my gym sessions.

Yeah mate i saw you - had a great session considering ive never touched some of the equipment before.
I feel more confident than i did before i went today - given that ive got 4 months to train events i should be able to get to a lift out of most of the events.
Only thing i think i will struggle with is the stones but i am hoping that with a bit more practice i will get at least the first 2 up.

I got the 90kg stone onto the first 2 platforms but took all the skin of the underside of my forearms and shed blood so didnt want to go crazy and end up f**king my arms up as ive got deadlifts on tuesday.
Think that comes down to lack of experience.

if it doesnt bleed its not strength training. after i loaded our 110 stone on our 5ft 8inch platform we took a foto of the blood on my arms and the stone, you can get some kind of sleeve to protect your forearms have a look online, we have some but i dont really like em, i like to feel the concrete stone on my skin grrrr
