Have trained with weights since I was kid mainly focussing on bodybuilding. After doing two bodybuilding comps last year I've begun to realise that it's time for a change and having been inspired by Tony, Boar and Pagan have decided to give strongman a go. Plan is to do a u105k comp next year. Have trained at Oly Sports Gym a few times so hopefully a few people know who I am. Currently weigh in around 107k so plan is to maintain this and focus on strength (but still look like a bodybuilder lol). 09/09/09 Log 65k/5 85k/3 95k/1 105k/1 110k/3 x 1 95k/5, 3 High incline press (bout 75 degree inc) 100k/8, 7, 6 90k/8 rear laterals and laterals close grip lockouts 120/15, 13, 12 Slight twinge in my forearm from the log but felt good.

vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350 855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Nicely done on the deadlift PB. What BB comps did you do & how did you get on? Good luck with the strongman stuff, its definately more fun to compete in and train for than BB.
