it's mostly technique. I used to do it all the time and I've got better. But second attempt I rushed my upper back wasn't locked and I just dropped rather than sat back. And that was that. 3rd form was better but confidence was shot and it was all in my head.

The less I think about deads the better I am. Squats apparently not the same

today went down to dumfries in prep for next week with nick brian and kev. lots of banter which was good. thank you to stuart murray for all of his help today

axel clean and press, got set up like comp and felt way under 85, maybe 70-75. did a few then went 20k higher and got a single, 30k higher and cont cleaned it. dropped back down to comp weight and got 5 but tires kept falling off and was quite off putting so had plently more. then power cleaned comp weight a few times

250 frame hold for time, 7 secs, s**te as usual

carried the 130 cross a twice, fells good

250 tire flip, a few sets of 3, not the best grip on this tire for me but should be ok

sand bag load onto barrels, did the 85, tried the 85 and 105 in a row and couldnt load 105, tried 105 on its own and couldnt load. amazing difference with how these feel

290 car carry, a few pick ups and stumble forwards, furthest was maybe only 1.5-2m but felt alright, glad i tried it. prob not that far but felt it



feeling good about next week, i know i wont win but i doubt ill embarress myself.

goals for next week with a bit of crack and good luck. by goals id be really happy if i got one let alone all of these

pressing, 10 reps

hold, 10-15 secs

1st medly, finish in 90 secs

2nd medly, load 2nd sandbag

car, go balls to the wall untill i finihs or fall over

stonking day yesterday, i had a blast. think a lot of others did too.

firstly thankyou to stuart and tam and mrs stuart and everyone else involved

my completly unbiased right up

good turn up, something like 14 people

axel, they changed it from the tires last week which was way under 85k to plates so it didnt fall apart. which changed the game plan some what. i got 5 reps, missed the 6th. joint 5th i think, was joint 3rd right untill the end. happy with that, pb by 2 reps. hats off to kev for getting a pb in the warm up with 75, cleaning the 85 easily and getting damn close to the press. the winner was a dumfries chap whose name escapes me but he won with an easy 10 reps. a fair few singles and doubles in the pack. nick got a good 7-8

hold for time, 250k, the field was split by this, most got 10 secs or less, some a lot less, i got 8 which i was disapointed with. a good few picked it up to drop straight away. kev got 30+ as did barry and 2 or 3 others. not sure where i placed

medly, cross, farmers, tire. `cross and farmers felt good. tire wasjust tiring by that point. i finished in 72 secs which i was happy with. the winner did it in 43!!!!!! boom

medly 2, sandbags and kegs onto barrells. 1st sandbag was fine. got the 2nd too which i what i wanted. had a crack at the keg and was just sitting on the wrong side of the lip each time. kev and nick got all 5 up. sean some how threw up one of the kegs in a purely ballsy effort. barry rattled through this as did one or too others.

car carry. got it up and went 2/3 of way, dropped straight back in and finished, 24 secs. should of had chains shorter and with practice id be under 20. doesnt matter though as the winner finished in 10 or osmething silly. kev, again ballsy efort finished by just squatting the last 5m


the winner was a chap from dumfries who won the 1st, 3rd and 5th event for sure. might of won the others. well deserved winner.

2nd was barry

5th was the units nick

8th was me

9th kev

10-11th was sean




happy with that, was half a point off 7th so if id got that 6th press or held a fraction longer or got that keg it would of been mine. i honestly expected to be lower so well happy
