My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I can't see too many people getting a single rep with a 182kg log after already doing the maxle. Looks like a really good comp, even if it is a bit overhead dominant. | ||

Ordinarily I'd disagree with you Mr Klebber (  ) and today is no different dickface! Eddie, Hixxy and Chris Gearing will all get more than one rep! Don't think anyone else will though | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Well, I did say that I can't see "too many" people pressing it, not no-one. However, I still wouldn't be surprised if any of the 3 mentioned missed it due to fatigue from the maxle (I think Ed's got the best chance). I'd be very surprised if anyone got more than 1. | ||

Yeah, but we struggle to understand what you say with that thick chorley accent! I don't think they'll be too fooked to do it as they don't have to clean it - its from blocks ala Arnold's (actually ben k might have a chane of pressing it!) I'd say Eddie and Mongo will probably strict press 3 and Chris 2! | ||

But why would I risk a comp that leads on to other things by doing this one that won't for me. I'll just be left skint, no points in 3 events, time off work and knocked back in my prep for our ESM qualifier comp? It's a no brainer really. | ||
