 has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Sat Nov 5th - Unit 20 comp Axle 100kg for reps My aim to get one rep was obviously a tough but achievable goal. However, I secretly wanted two reps despite my limited training suggesting that I'd been on the crack pipe too much. However, secret aim achieved, 2 reps. Happy. 7th place. Max 15 inch Deadlift I was thinking of mid 200s. I got 260kg which was quite tough. Passed at 270kg. When I went for 280kg, I think that someone had cheekily added some superglue to the tyres. Still quite happy with 260kg though. Joint 5th. 320kg Yoke I felt like I had the strength but on my first two pickups I didn't even move 50cm. Finally found a better position on my back and walked five metres(4.99m) before Mr Murray called time. Easy to say but once I was more comfortable, I thought I could have gone the whole distance on that carry. The time limit was there for a reason though. Gutted with this as I got LAAAAASSSSSTTTT place. 280kg Frame Walk Went first due to the Yoke Joke . Pickup was very easy and got into a rhythm but when I accelerated I lost balance and dropped the bas***d. Tried to do a Pudge pickup (mega quick, off balance) but instead had to reset myself which wasted a good few seconds in total. 12 seconds overall for the 10m. About 6th or 7th place. 50kg dumbbell press Grinded out a rep. 9th place. OK with that on a weak event that I only tried for the first time on Tuesday. 135kg stone 2 reps. The second felt like a real grinder. Joint 5th here. OVERALL Joint 8th though I was announced as 9th on the day. I suppose everyone could say this but just a bit better on one event(Yoke) could have put me maybe 2 places higher. Gives me something to work on for next year. Not bad considering my lack of training since July(only 3 gym sessions and 3 events sessions - only one of which was specific to the comp, after having my arm twisted by Brian). My first comp for two and a half years. Can't wait for next year. BSM qualifiers next year once I've trained properly. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Despite the deadlift session being brutal I didn't fell any DOMS the next day, However, that morning, I ran a few hundred yards for the bus and my calves started cramping, my 'shin' muscles were agony about half an hour later and I've hardly been able to walk for the last 36 hours. AND, I didn't even catch the f**kin bus. | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Simply shocking session tonight that I abandoned about a quarter of the way in. 20th November Push Press(1 clean per set) 30kg X 10 60kg X 5 92.5kg X 2 Rep 2 was a real grinder - WTF??? 90kg was flying, really flying on the early sets the other day. 92.5kg X 1 Nearly got rep 2 but WTF, WTF??????????????? 92.5kg X failed clean WTF??????????????????????????? SESSION ABANDONED - I train overheads outside and OK it was raining and the bar was getting wet. Also the soles of my trainers were getting wet which didn't help my footing but still. Other two excuses are that I only trained this lift two days ago and finally that the discs were slipping on the bar cause I didn't use collars. Probably the most disappointing session in my whole on/off lifting life.    | ||
