You looked much better in yourself tonight, again it is also age related, the older you get, the more these minor ailments tax you. You just have to shrug and soldier on and accept that your pace will slow more than it used to. But spring is on the way and your tubes are clearing, the sap will rise again soon enough

Wise words Pete, and you are quite correct, it is just a case of soldiering on and thankfully last night there was the first signs of recovery from feeling poo that last few weeks. All being well i will be fighting fit for my next foray onto the platform in a couple of weeks. Grin

Monday 25th January

Busy last few days with the Push and Pull to sort out. Lots of hard graft but going off how the day went and the feedback since it seems to have been worth it. A great set of lads lifting made it a brilliant event.

Back to normal now...

Northern Masters a week on Sunday. Can't really say I've had a build up but we'll go through the motions, could well get my 'arris handed to me this time round, but then 7 weeks to the British then it will be no distractions no excuses, time for some graft.

probably took a day either side of the comp mabie more to set up / clear out jeff mate ! fred has a lovely building there ...who'd have thought tucked away just off the A6...... ABC could move house ! (much closer to my gaff Wink )

so the plan is to do your best at this comp with the build up youve managed but full steam no excuses for the british ! 7 weeks seems perfecto !

Yeah, took friday off work to run around getting borrowed stuff and get the venue set up, all day Saturday at the comp, and then 4 hours yesterday emptying the venue and running round taking stuff back. Sort of takes its toll Unhappy

It is a cracking little venue for a good down and dirty basic comp. Fred had mentioned that he would be open to offers if anyone wanted to use the venue for events in the future too. Would be ideal for an indoor strongman comp or such like.

Yeah Northerns could be a bit of a write off but then full steam ahead for the British all being well

8 days until next comp mate, what will you open with this time?
110/130 sounds about right!?
What total will you need?

Not sure what I will open at JC, probably put myself down at 100/130 and see how the warmup goes, with a view to putting them up.

Not had much of a build up to this what with Christmas, a bout of illness, and the distractions of organising the Push and Pull, so not expecting too much to be honest.

There will be another guy lifting that could well outlift me on the day in my current form, but we'll see, i'm always one for a bit of a battle Grin

Probably capable of 115/145 at the moment, if it all went right on the day, but without a solid bit of graft in the build up it's hard to have the consistency to guarantee it.

This one is nothing more than a bit of a run out, British comes 7 weeks after this so should get some graft in for that and be something like all being well Wink

My body has finally revolted againste the long and sh1tty winter and said a firm NO to anything like moving properly. Right wrist is nagging and mentally I'm somewhere between poo and really poo!!

You'll do good mate!



According to what one of the elders said, taking an enemy on the battlefield is like a hawk taking a bird. Even though it enters into the midst of a thousand of them, it gives no attention to any bird other than the one that it has first marked.
