Britain's Strongestman under 105 final

Higher pull for starters, and it's harder to keep it on your stomach so you need to clean the axle to the chest quicker.

Hi guys just to let everyone know there will be a 24hour weighin this will be available from 8am to 12pm on the Saturday Morning 20th of July anybody wishing to take part will need to contact me, my number is: 07940354518 all weighins will be recorded and the weighin will take place at the K2 gym Newlands Avenue Brackla Industrial Estate cf31 2da.

Competitors will need to arrive at 10am and the comp will start at 11am, anybody wishing to contact me on my number above. Thanks

12pm?? Thats pretty unfair for people travelling 3-4hrs+ IMO

I'd say its pretty unfeasible for the Scots/Geordies

It anyone need it Later they will need 2 Contact me and I can Sort something out

I will need it later, as will John Marsden whom I'm travelling with

As will most the Northern/Scots boys I'd imagine

All my flights and accomadation is booked , but i am just home from the doctors and i have a torn intercostal muscle ... So i will have to see how i fare next week when i try to resume training before i decide whether i am competing or merely spectating

Hope you make it mate. Be good to compete against you this time

s**t news mate, keep us posted.

With lots of head to head events it has been decided make the numbers even at 14. As such Daz Clarke is now in as the 8th place finisher at ESM. I decided it should go to an ESM competitor given that there were 50+ at the regionals. If any English competitors drop out now the reserve is Richard Minney. If any Welsh or Scottish guys drop out it is John Pollock (4th in Scotland), the reason for being reserve in both Wales and Scotland is that all the competitors from Wales are either in the comp' or unable to compete.

Trained with Simon Thomas earlier , he cant post on here but wanted to know if there was gonna be any hitching allowed on the max dead or would it be zero tolerance as in the Welsh 105s?

It will be the same as in the welsh

So no hitching at all?

Really? Lets hoping the reffing is spot on, 'cause one mans hitch is anothers smooth pull (it should be with that old bas***d Martin )

IPF standards? Hope so, seems little point if not!

also, whys straps and no hitch? may as well bin straps too!

Do find it a bit strange that straps and suits are being allowed but no hitching , can understand the no resting on the knees rule we had in the Welsh open but not zero tolerance , everyone wants to see big numbers being pulled surely?

As long as its not resting on the legs can't se the.problem with a little hitching tbh.
