Member 566, 813 posts SQ 280, BP 175, DL 340795.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | Firstly well done to all the guys who competed yesterday and to the top three in all classes. The numbers were down a bit and it would of been nice to see a few more compete, a few of the lads had a good reasons not to compete - such as work or injuries. I do think that some of the southern guys need to pull their fingers out and get theirs heads out of their arses (and the northern boys). These comps are put on for the attempted growth of the sport (which everyone bangs on about) so all the lads need to pull together and compete when its on your door step. I think Mark did a great job with the event considering it was his first. The comp was a little stop/start but with limited helpers that's to be expected - saying that the comp only lasted 4hrs, which is pretty good considering. Mark's next comp is the u105kg British and I will be their again to help Terry ref (hopefully minus his hangover)lol. This will have some great improvements and after lessons learned the British will be in good hands. All the open and u90kg guys and local novices that have competed in these comps over the months its now time to put your hand up and offer your help to Mark for the British and help make it a huge success. On a final note well done to Ant for his great performance on the day beating both u105's and opne competitors and will surely be looking to do the same at the British in 4weeks time. Also to my pain in the arse training partner for placing second and for deciding to compete in the Brits and the UK's. | ||

I honestly think you would have got more faces if it had been called something different, I'm glad you had a good day, but I would have considered the drive if it had been a different title, the weights suited me and love being at comps with Martin cee mc'ing | ||

You really need to get over this title crap. You've been on the scene all of two minutes and are already trying to control things. Sounds like you've been spending a bit too much time talking to Glenn Ross. As agreed by someone else, who I won't mention - that a good sounding title is great for present and future sponsorship of both athletes and the event itself. It looks like Wales Most Powerful Man is here to stay in South Wales so it looks like you'll have to get over yourself and be supportive for a change. | ||

Member 566, 813 posts SQ 280, BP 175, DL 340795.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | Wales Strongest Man will always be the main title and is under the UKSC for the UK's. The organiser will change though like it has done in the past. I'm sure that Mark has no intentions to compete with WSM. Wales Most Powerful is purely another comp for guys to compete on Welsh soil. | ||
