A World class farmer Member 576, 3429 posts SQ 350, BP 200, DL 400 950.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq	UKs Strongest Man 2014 Felt in the shape of my life going into the comp this year. I had a tough group but was confident on making the final day. Day 1 420 Yoke Carry The setup for this was 2 tractor tyres and was a bit unstable. - 1st Place Rock Pressing Turned out to be a very close event. I pressed the 90 and the 100 but i couldn't get the 110 to sit right. Came 8th on this but there were 4 of us who pressed the 2 stones and it was very close on times - 8th 400kg Block Deadlift Pretty standard plates and 18" blocks setup for this. Unfortunately I was up first on this so had to put a high marker down. I did 9 reps which gave me a comfortable event win. - 1st MAS Wresting I had already qualified for the 2nd day so took it easy on this to avoid any injury. Not sure where I placed. Day 2 Bar Bending Bar started at 16" and 4ft long. This was a speed bending event so slowest 2 got eliminated then the bar got shorter. Did a poor first bend with the 4ft bar as i was off centre but avoided the elimination. I was quickest on the 3.5ft bar so that left myself and Ash in the final with the 3ft bar. Ash just pipped me on this one as I messed around with the final bend. - 2nd Front Hold This was a HUGE sword weighing 56lbs. This was never going to be a good event for me and once again it was really close on times - 6th 300kg Squat On the fish tank setup from a couple of years ago. Once again I was out first on this so had to put a marker down. Did 11 reps which was good for the win - 1st Car Deadlift Hold Just had to pick it up and that would be enough to go through to the final day. Had a bit of fun while going head to head with eddy but didn't risk doing any longer than needed. Day 3 Body felt absolutely fooked when i woke up on Sunday morning. The squat had taken it out of my back and hamstrings but there's nothing like a 385 frame carry to brush the cobwebs away 385kg Railway Frame Walk I was in the 2nd group for this and only Eddy and Luke S finished the 20m course in group 1. The pick up took some time then it was ok. Managed to get over the line before my grip gave out. I was sure I had won this but the stopwatches showed my time as 11.71sec and Eddy's ad 11.70sec so I came 2nd by the closest of margins. 167kg Apollons Axle This was a bit of a shock event really. Everyone failed to lift it which was a major surprise. In spite of this I was really confident on this as 145kg absolutely flew up in the warm up (so much so i had to recheck the weight). I missed the clean on the first attempt but got it on the 2nd and split jerked it over head. There was some controversy as to if i dropped the bar from the top of the lift instead of controlling it down but I was given the lift. I could have done 1 or 2 more reps if i needed to but with just eddy left to go, I knew he would beat any number i did so left it at one. - 2nd Husafell Stone for distance 185kg Stone that i failed to pick up last year. Nailed the pick up this year and managed 3rd place behind Eddy and Luke S. Probably the event i was most happy with after last years problems on it. - 3rd Truck Push 12tonne truck for 15m. 19sec. Pretty standard really, got a good start and once again came 3rd behind Eddy and Luke S. Barrel Loading Barrels from 100kg to 165kg. at this point I was guaranteed a podium finish and was 5points behind eddy and 5points infront of Luke S. Eddy went off like a rocket chucking up the barrels like they were nothing so I knew i couldn't catch him. I only had to do 4 barrels to secure 2nd so i did that took my time. Not sure where i finished. OVERALL: 2nd Eddy was untouchable all day. He really is the complete package now, (although if bar bending was in the final instead of the barrels i could have beat him ) My goal going into this comp was to get on the podium so I am over the moon with 2nd. 12 months of focused training and trying to get bit better on everything makes a huge difference. Gonna have a break from the big barbell lifts for 4 weeks then i'll start back with a 16 week training phase ready to peak for the new year.
