Member 566, 813 posts SQ 280, BP 175, DL 340795.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | Congrats to the top 3 yesterday and especially Ben for retaining his title. (even though you think my rules suck) It was a very hot day and the comp was pretty much wrapped up in around four and a half hours. Not too long but long enough for me to feel wiped out in the sun!! Some really great stand out performances on some events but Ben showed again that consistance is key. I guess we will wait for the vids and peoples right ups.... | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6844 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | MrSmall said:What a sport strongman is eh, the guy who pulls 380 and does 130 axle for 10, comes 8th!!!! actually 9th! Thats because the competitions find the best Strongman not the strongest man, which is something that an awful lot of people seem to overlook, or are too daft to realise. | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Well done to everyone who competed, especially leggiez who went down carrying an injury and still came in the top 5. | ||

always lookIng for the extra UT2 work.

Well done to all the competitors, sounds like a good day was had by all. | ||

Well done to all the competitors, sounds like a good day was had by all. Karl only pulled out of the Stones which was the last event. He did struggle some what on the yoke and farmers. But had two very good static events on the axle and dead. | ||

I think they find the strongest man allround.....static strength is not the only strength facet imo Big thanks to mark, martin, terry and martin cee for putting on a great comp Ben was outstanding once again, but dan isnt a million miles off. Valdas was also superb, and as ben says, if he can improve his pull will be the man to beat in 2014 | ||

I will admit there was a little mistake at the beginning where the person left to do the sheets had been left on her own with no QA in process. So along with reffing I made sure they where checked. | ||

Champion of Under The Radar 105 Member 805, 5301 posts SQ 325, BP 202.5, DL 335862.5 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Karl Grants deadlift highlight of the day Well done to Ben on retaining his title and also well done to Dan Cave and Valdas on podium. Think if both ben and dan move upto opens next year as they have said then Valdas could be the one to beat next year, good on all the events bar deadlift, get that lift up and will be tough to beat. My day didnt go to well but everything cant go to plan all the time and theres always next time. | ||
