John WWW did the Northwich Novice comp today and was shocked at how high the standard was. He came tenth (out of fifteen) but he had never practised for any of the events, only got in on the day when someone didn't turn up, and he came second in the log lift (85K) having never even tried it before. As he said afterwards, he managed to move everything (not everyone could) and didn't disgrace himself and now he knows what it'a all about. And he got an invite to come over to Northwich on Saturdays to work with the equipment.

We're going back tomorrow to watch the big guys. If anyone's there, come and say hello. I'll be wearing my black teeshirt with "Golden Oldie" on it - in gold, of course. Won't risk the singlet in case there's a gay pride stall at the show.Happy

hey Martin, see you there, i will be driving down with Spug Mayers Grin

And placement is really not important in the novice comps, aye standards can be high sometimes, just a luck of a draw who turns up on the day. I only judge the day against my own performance.

Had a look at the strongman comp in burnley for a couple of hours, sadly bad weather marred the event but there was a good turnout. One guy managed 22reps with 190kg on the deadlift which is mighty impressive. Mick Gosling was officiating with Mark Felix and Lee Bowers was there too.

22 x 190 is insane. Were they from the floor barbell deads or on some kind of strongman contraption?

They were barbell deadlifts although they were rubber cased plates and rubber flooring which when doing tap reps can help with the initial momentum. Even so its impressive

i wondered same I did the qualifier and final and really enjoyed it and would like to do it again but think the opens still out of my league but doen one comp since and will have done at least 2 more before it this year, i`ll probably mail the organisers to see what they say.

whats wrong with your ass mate if it cant take a bit of kicking? Grin

leave novice stuff to novices, looking at your numbers alone you should just aim to nail lighter opens to be honest...

getting your arse handed to you is good for you Grin
