Awesome work from Simon - all that hard graft in training obviously paid off.

Gutted Chris didnt make it through but 4th is still a great placing to say the least.

Was a great day. First time i have seen a strongman event other than on TV and was very impressed. Definitely given me the urge to compete next time.
Great to put some faces to the names on this board too.

Thanks James,Chris and Smalls. To be honest it's the lads on here that have inspired me to compete again in strongman, Boar, Chris, Smalls, Mark Clegg, JC James etc. James is an excellent humble 90kg champion that will beast 105kg!!!

I plan to get bigger, a good big one will always beat a good little one. As long as I keep improving I will be happy. To be honest down the yard we have a good bunch of lads training together now. Simon T really deserved his win, he quietly went about his training and put the effort in for today. True champion and humble with it, this has really inspired me to get stronger and faster.

Gutted you didn't get through Chris ! Just seen your stone vid on the Tube it looks great .. Which Event cost you in your opinion ?

What ever decision you make, I know you'll do well but selfishly I'd love to see you pack up to 105kg ..

Well done to the other guys, Of course taking nothing away from them they earnt their place and I'm glad Wales is going to be properly represented this year ..

Sled well and truly bummed me at the start. I was 90kg so no brainer for me I was going to struggle with that bugger mate ha ha. I just need to be faster on everything and place a litle higher all over. I got time to grow in to the 105's and will appreciate that I need to be near that limit next time I compete. Could be worth me taking a few trips down OSG and dropping the 4 other sports I train during the week. I did a lot of judo before this comp and it's just so different to strongman.

4th place at only 90k is an excellent performance chris, 15k is a lot of weight to give away.

Well I wouldn't just drop all the other sports mate .. Afterall you enjoy them too ..

Powerlifting and Strongman can go together .. Judo I suppose you need to be light and I've told you before what I thought of the porn stuff you do ! It pays the bills BUT at what cost ?

Just take a few weeks and think . You are a talent and could be at the top of them all ..

Awesome that I get a mention Grin
I'm sure you'll be back better than ever next time Chris but would be a shame to not have you on the 90k circuit!

I have to make the choice of putting muscle on to fill out my frame or stay lighter and go that route. Could be worth me aiming for 100kg first and see how I feel at that bodyweight.

You do have some sexy ass posts mate, that make the most sense!
