 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | I knew we'd had a thread like this before a good while back, so thought I'd find it to see what people said back then: http://www.sugdenbarbell.co.uk/forum.php?a=137 At the minute I'd still like to compete at national level as a junior next year, after that who knows. It's a long road to do anything in the seniors, even winning regional medals. I would have liked to have had a head on battle with David at next years unequipped, but that won't happen now hes gone bodybuilding  I suppose Hayden is my logical opponent, but he is miles fatter than me which is a bit of an advantage.I already achieved one of my goals which was winning the junior 110 class, but as it was against nobody there wasn't much glory in it!! | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Originally posted by Fatpete... British masters 2 superheavy squat record then British masters 2 superheavy total record Those are short-term goals. Last year's master 2 world champion totalled 825. That (the championship, not the total) should be your long-term goal. | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17896 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Originally posted by Rick... Originally posted by Fatpete...

That (the championship, not the total) should be your long-term goal. Not a chance. Never going to happen. Can't imagine ever dipping into the old pocket and pulling out several hundred of my hard earned just to pay for a chance of a title worth nothing. The under 40s go abroad and it costs them nowt. The old folk have to pay. Phuck that as the old saying goes. | ||

 Old Age Presser Member 75, 7740 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | It's worth every penny Pete - even when you don't come close to a medal. Not that you would come home empty-handed, of course. I've got two nice little sayings that might help some of you: Winners are just dreamers who didn't quit; and Life is a series of self-fulfilling prophesies. The road to the Worlds starts in the gym and goes via the regionals and the nationals. Once you put in enough work to enter your first regional, you've taken the first step towards the world stage. Step 2, qualify for the nationals. Step 3, place in the nationals. Step 4, win the nationals. Step 5, British team. Everyone at Step 5 now was once a gym lifter trying to pluck up the courage to take step one. They're not supermen. They're no different to you guys. Slow and consistent improvement year on year and a commitment to succeed will get you far further than you imagine. | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Id like to achieve a couple of things in strongman: - Qualify for and compete in both the englands and britains U105 strongest man natural. - compete in an open strongman comp at U105 and not come last. To be honest id be happy just competing as much as possible and having a good laugh doing it though! | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Good advice Martin, but I still think he's too tight to dip his hand. 1 paying trip to Europe costs about 10 hours in Oldham, and in Oldham Pete is already world champ | ||

You are quite correct in what you say, but as always so is the reasonable looking fellow. It's the paying I object to. If I were a rich man - maybe. But I ain't. I never say never (well not anymore) but I have cranked my imagination up to full power, and I just can't see it. | ||

 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6844 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Get somewhere close to a 300 OL total at 40+, and remain the second best looking bloke at Adlington (2nd best looking to Handsome Fred is good enough for me) | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | Short term: Make a 600kg total at 82's. Long term: Complete 635kg raw at the 82's. Then retire, let my health go to s**t and drink whisky every night! | ||

Dirty little devil Member 138, 356 posts | Post Edited: 23.09.2007 @ 23:20 PM short term-medium term, 600kg unequipped total in comp (as junior), compete in Strongman, compete in grapplingmedium-long term, total 825k+ at 100kg equipped, have a go at oly lifting, even if it's non-competitive... long term, win BSM Under 105kg, compete in ADCC grappling world champs, have a go at bodybuilding, deadlift 340kg raw, squat 300k raw, bench 182.5k raw. My one main target I will acheive is coaching younger lifters, maybe even taking and 'grooming' a 12-13 yr old lad to a World Sub-Junior title. That would mean everything to me, to be able to be in a position of that much knowledge and skill. You got to prove you can do OK yourself first though  | ||
