I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220 530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq	Oh dear If I may offer an opinion, body build, events should be light and fun, high volume

Member 673, 529 posts SQ 200, BP 110, DL 230 540.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	u may offer your oppinion but i wont listen lol. Events will be fun but heavy, sat 370 tyre, side handle deads, log, keg press, maybe arm over arm & grip hold Things go better when I have a target to train for & a Peterhead comp in Sept looks a good shout. Ill add more reps in the gym too so thats as close to body build my fat ass will get.

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275 650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	If it's the comp in Peterhead organised by Steve Evans I'd be wary of entering mate, He has advertised a fair few comps in the last year or so and not one of them has gone ahead, the last one in June was cancelled with less than a weeks notice. I'd say a better bet would be the dumfries one we both did last year about the same time as Stuart and his crew always put on great comps.

Love the events so Will see what happens. Stuarts comp would always come first tho cause its the best novice comp in Scotland. Always had a great day at the comp I've done there. Cheers for the heads up tho

Member 673, 529 posts SQ 200, BP 110, DL 230 540.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	Yesterday @ Fraserburgh Decided to do a comp that was too heavy for me but hey u need to get out your comfort zone so u get the kick needed to push on (well thats the plan) First up, max log. Opening lift was 100kg way above my max but log was fairly thin & felt good in the warm up. Result NO LIFT. All over the place at the top & couldnt balance, outside pressing is a different thing. Second, tyre medley. 3x330 & 3x380 First up after log & worried lol. went ok, got first 3 fairly easy & managed a flip of the 380 tyre. Happy with that & a PB lol Third, deadlift (kangoo van) No chance, looking back feet all wrong & trying to pull with my back. ah well Fourth, arm over arm (7 ton truck) Normally decent on this & second to go. was worried about getting it moving & should of been. Insane pull, too many things to mention but got 3.1m. winner only managed half way so looking back it was decent enough. Heavy & couldnt feel my fingers for about an hour after it Fifth, 70kg dumbell Massive bit of kit. Rubbish presser & thought about sitting this one out. Decided to give it a go for some stupid reason. managed the clean which is more than i expected. then just stapled to my shoulder Last, stones Only thing that pissed me off on the day. first stone was 125kg & should get that everytime. was a hot day & had a tacky disaster, would of been better with chalk as the tacky was like oil. No chance of moving anything with that & serious lesson learned. Had a great day even though I prob shouldnt of been in the comp but maybe the kicking Ive needed to have a good winter. will be back next year if they have it & wont be last place this time. Met some top guys so was worth the visit. Big thanks to willie & the guys for a great day

Has a long back. Member 2322, 2464 posts SQ 260, BP 175, DL 312.5 747.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq	Good to see you competing yesterday @ the Broch . Heavy competition to jump in at , but fair play to you for doing it.
