 Do hugs, not drugs. Member 136, 712 posts SQ 380, BP 242.5, DL 330952.5 kgs @ 110kgs Eq | Good value today - Mick and Joni were on good form with some excellent gutsy performances in their events. I'm looking forward to the finals now. Nice to meet Shaun who is one huge unit - get your lazy Scouse arse over to Catt's for some real deadlift training, ya bender. Off for a pint now. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 255, BP 167.5, DL 330752.5 kgs @ 103kgs Eq | f**king awesome results lads!!! I pretty much knew big Mick would do well in this comp, the 'other Mick' is one of Felix's training partners and a decent strongman too. But the surprise of the day has got to be the Bull qualifying for the finals - well done mate!! What date is the final! Really made up for you! | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | Thanks guys for all the support! Just want to say that when i was expecting to get f**ked up the arse with a handful of gravel i honestly thought that would happen. I always knew that the last three events would be my best ones, but was more thinking of placing 4th, 3rd and 2nd from bottom, rather than top  Anyway, thats how the cookie crumbled today. This practically means the sudden death of my off season plan before it even started. Back to the drawing board... (would help if i knew the events in the finals, some guys said things like power stairs, stones up to 180kg and 130kg awkward viking press... easy, lol!) | ||
