Yeah he doesn't post too much but has been here from day one.
I was his (and Damo's, who started off with him) inspiration behind starting would you believe. Grin
(He probably thought; "If that skinny c**t can do it then I bloody well can!")


That's awesome!

Feel sorry for poundstone. Didn't really perform badly apart from the stones and was out.

He was excellent on the db and very good on the loading, keg toss and deadlift. Caron just didn't let up

Great start though, glad JF Caron got through.

'Inspiration' was probably too strong a word. Grin

That is deliberate. Not so easy to control a big crowd. This is why they never announce it till late so only very few will go. Also the casino was in the middle of nowhere.

530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq		How come in the dead you could hitch but not rest the bar on your thighs like Z did?

I know there's a difference but its a bit up to judges discretion isn't it?

They stopped it being done as they were worried someone's knee would go pop and they'd get stuck under the bar. I don't personally like seeing it but I think it's impossible to referee tbh

Interesting, had that happened at a comp somewhere or is it just a fairly justified worry?


I just don't feel comfortable with decisions that are down to judgement rather than black and white

I think it's just one of those what if things. I'm all for them banning it as it helps some guys but doesn't help me Happy

Jacks got plenty of time. If he can have a couple of injury free years who knows what he can achieve. I think he has all the attributes to do great at wsm as the type of events there really suit his strengths
