Champion of Under The Radar 105 Member 805, 5301 posts SQ 325, BP 202.5, DL 335 862.5 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Just to let everyone know who is interested I came joint 4th in this comp Silver dollar deadlift 380kg(pb) (pulled somthing in my shoulder on this lift, think I would have got 400kg but oh well, it hampered me in some events) came 2nd Viking Press 100kg(for reps)got 12 reps (pb) i think, finished mid table Farmers medley (75, 95, 120kg all for 25m) think I came 2nd or 3rd not sure of timebut was another pb Super Yoke (260kg for 25 meters) came 2nd, did it in about 8.5 seconds (pb) Medley (80kg tree stump, 3 flips of 350kg tyre & 300kg+drag) came mid table couldnt budge the drag Atlas Stones (for reps) think I did 9 reps with the 120kg stone (pb), not sure where I finished in this event was too busy getting tape & tacky off etc plus was really tired. Overall was very happy with the days performance and cant wait for my next strongman comp

SUGDEN SUCKS! Which is why i am here... Member 370, 1520 posts SQ 285, BP 185, DL 302.5 772.5 kgs @ 94kgs Eq	First of all i would like to thank everyone who competed yesterday!! everyone gave it 100%. Johns deadlift was very impresive and i think he would have pulled the 400kg as he looked very comfortable in all of his lifts. the stand out performances for me were the 3 young lads that competed, The 2 lads that came down from the olympic gym put in an epic performance considering there body weight and george from the basement. Ironworx rich is another one for us to look out for as he is thinking of dropping to 105kg. for his first comp he looked impresive. i could go on all day as i was amazed with everyones effort. Well done to you all

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220 555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	What were the final placings? Have to agree that I thought Simon did a sterling job with the fairest and most consistent judging that I have seen in a competition to date. Some cracking individual performances from what I saw while I was there - saying that, there are several lads who should never again be seen in the novices....! Really good improvement from some, including John Strange, Dan and Grant from PSMA. Gutted to not be able to finish, but well pleased with my performance until I had to pull out (4 pbs in 3 events!!).

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220 555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	JohnMarsden said: I came joint 4th in this comp Silver dollar deadlift 380kg(pb) Viking Press 100kg(for reps)got 12 reps (pb) Super Yoke (260kg for 25 meters) came 2nd, did it in about 8.5 seconds (pb) Atlas Stones (for reps) think I did 9 reps with the 120kg stone (pb) I just re-read this.... How can a 380kg dead, 100kgx12 overhead press, 9 reps on a 120kg stone and 260 superyoke in under 9 seconds come joint fourth in a NOVICE comp.... May have to review who we consider novices lads!! John, you should be well proud of yourself mate - thats an outstanding day...Was very impressed with your determination throughout FYI there are some pics on photobucket - see SDF for the link - all the deadlifts are on there.
