(although to get it for £3 you book on there site, otherwise its £5 on door) I'm not sure any of that can be guaranteed lol, I have no idea what food will be available, I imagine there will be something, silly not to cash in a bit.

Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250 580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Reasonable session this evening, 1) NG Pull Ups +13 3/4 (Going up 1 1/4 each week, 2.5 was to much) 10 x 3 2) Bench Press W/U to 65 x 8 85 x 12/12/11 (Close to getting 3 x 12) 3) Event Practice for Sunday - Overhead hold (Bar weight 50kg then 2 x 10 attached via bungees) the event is bar weight 50kg then 2 tires attached using rope to create instability) - Overhead hold for time. 4) Inverted Rows 3 x 15

Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250 580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Previous post was supposed to be 3/9/13 anyway, todays session looks like nothing, but in time will be effective. Added in paused squats, 2 sec pause at the bottom, start light build from there. 1) Back Squats Paused 80 5 x 5 2) Front Squats 60 5 x 5 3) Hip Thrusts 90 5 x 10 As I said looks like nothing, but believe it or not felt like a good session.

Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250 580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Cheers Ian, I think these pause squats are pretty good, you tried them? Btw my retirement from lift of the month didn't last long, a week, love it to much, Project Gates carries on for another month lol. Although next year, I think we should add in a concession for each 3 lifts at the All England to be count towards the total.

Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250 580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Ok, have to concede on that, James told me it was on some poster, I haven't ever seen it, but will take his word for it. Think we should make the change for next year, as no doubt everyone's best deadlift will be on the platform. I will try some cleans tomorrow, as will squat but give the deadlift a miss to rest for the comp. I think I did 111 or something last year. Yeah the pause squats were as low as possible, virtually sat on the floor, just focused on staying nicely upright and tight. No joy on the VIP ticket yet, you will be alright, just go to the front. How come you were videoing your box squats?

MJW1989		8/9/13 Strongman Comp	08-09-2013 @ 22:07
Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250 580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Very happy with the days events, in a field of 12, all but 2 dwarfed me muscle wise, but I did well I think, and took 3rd, missed second by 1 point Event 1 - Zercher lift - did 210kg for joint second Event 2 - 60 log, 70 log, 80 axel, reps in 75 secs, did 9 again for joint second. Event 3 - Loading race, 35, 40, 50, 60, 80 sand bags taken down a 20 metre course and dump over 4ft bar. Did it all in 1 min dead, for 3rd ( 1st was 56 secs, 2nd 59 secs) other than us, no other competitor could do all 5 sacks. Event 4 - Arm over arm, pull a 150kg sled down a 20 metre course, then drag it back. I decimated the field on this completing it in 30 secs, next guys were in the 50's Event 5 - 85kg (per hand) Farmers 40 metre course with turn, I think I was 3rd with just over 15 secs, next guys were in the early 14's I may have been 4th here not sure. Event 6 - Was dropped due to time constraints, disappointing as this was a nailed on win, and would have taken second. Good day all round in my first ever strongman competition. Oh, I did train at the farm on Friday but really wasn't worth a post, I set a lift of month being a 111kg clean, but other than that was resting.

How come they dropped your best event? Would never happen in a proper competition. How did the others bodyweights compare to yourself? And finally, did you pull?
MJW1989		...	09-09-2013 @ 08:17
Member 4585, 445 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 250 580.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Well bodyweight wise I don't really know, I'm a little dubious about the scales used, I weighed 94kg clothed, I was 98 in the same clothes on our scales. As a whole though most were on the heavier side pushing 105 or potentially over that. Some were late 90's but were a lot shorter. They dropped the last event because of time, was supposed to run till 5pm but finished at 7pm with 5 events. All due to the first event the women's one was going up in 5kg jumps so with nearly 30 of them it took an hour and half. 10kg jumps would have been more appropriate, who goes up in 5's on a deadlift event? Yeah the guy that won it won the first event with a 220, then the second he did 12 reps on the overhead medley, then beat me by something like 5 seconds on the loading race, I was just happy to kill him on the 4th event to be honest, he was a beast. Then went up against him in the farmers and he beat me by 2 sec's. Unfortunately didn't pull lol, work to do on that one.

You really should, you have the ability to be a 700+ unequipped lifter at 105Kg if only you'd concentrate more and not be distracted by bizarre events. I guess with maturity will come focus!
