 crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Cuddles said:As far as I am concerned, Terry runs UKs Strongest Man u105kg and uses Englands and Regional qualifiers as a way of getting the athletes. It seems to me, that unless the sport structure changes (I genuinely dont see why it needs to) then it should be up to Terry, Craig and the guys running the regional qualifiers. It's there comp, they set the rules IMO. If other promoters want to run the rule or not, should be up to them. Totally agree with this and its the point I was trying to make. The end result of all of the qualifiers and then UKS strongest U105 is a spot at the worlds U105, so why shouldn't they be run with the same rules as the worlds, including 24 hour weigh ins. | ||

Yes mate, but what i dont think people realise is - Say your 112kg. You weigh in the day before the comp. So the day before that you cut all that weight. You wake up, continue cutting the weight whilst then travelling down to the comp which could be 5 hrs+ away. I couldnt imaging travelling to kent in that sort of state. You would have to go another day before probably? Just a thought | ||

If other promoters want to run the rule or not, should be up to them. but if they are promotors worthy of anything they will listen to what people have to say. And terry seems to definitely be doing that so its a great sign. Would be good to hear what terry and paul woods think about this, though i suspect woods is f**king itching for this to be implemented in UK. | ||

Just a thought Well you could go down the day before or come in a bit closer to the U105kg on the day before the comp, that way you wouldnt have to cut so much weight. Nothing says you have to cut a certain amount of weight, its up to you to decide what amount your are comfortable cutting then make sure that its possible. | ||

I think Terry's approach to this comp (apologising re the tacky issue, coming on here to answer peoples problems etc) has been spot on IMO. My post was in response to Hixxys question of when will it end? IMO it ends when Terry decides the rules for his comp. If he wants to have votes, consultations etc with athletes then brilliant. | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Cuddles said: Do you think we should disadvantage ourselves in all sports or just strongman? lol the u105 wsm competition is run once year and sometimes not even that. the date and venue of it seem to change with the wind. last years comp seemed suspect to me in terms of the advantages been given to the home athletes. only one athlete out of a pool of up to around 60 gets to go. yeah id like to see 'us' do well there but is it worth making a big change to the way we do things here? for me, no. if there were more international opportunities for more athletes and the worlds was run better my view would probably be different. but for now, not worth it for me. particularly when 105 is going from strength to strength anyway. why start messing with it now? | ||

I couldnt imaging travelling to kent in that sort of state. You would have to go another day before probably? Just a thought It doesn't really work that way. The best way is to lose the weight over a few weeks, then lose the water weight 3 days out, then carb load 24hrs from the weigh in. Then you will be nice a full and full of energy. That's a very simple way but you get the idea. | ||

But this is strongman... I personally would not want to try anything else. The reason for that is the stength and endurance factors. The muscles are under a far great force for a longer period, all day sometimes. Where boxers will lose a lot of water in the muscles I would like to keep that there for the days competition, minimises tears and fatigue. | ||

Lots more to learn Tell me aobut it, I just excepted it was a part of the u105 game. Everyone will have slightly different methods, it's all down to trail and error, but I liked to use this method. Better planning equals better results.. well I think so anyway. | ||
