Set off 7:00 am

Get back 8:00 pm ..

Just want to say a big thanks to Rich for having me over and showing me around .. The gym is fantastic and they have over double the amount of SM kit that i have .. Unreal place and i will be back for more training soon ..

Great to train with Simon Cowdrey .. He is gonna take some beating i tell you .. Awesome 105kg Strongman and a f**kin cracking lad .. I've tons of time for him..

Toby "BoyWonder" Cutler is gonna do damage at 105kg in the upcoming years .

George is a Nutcase ! And never ask him for directions ..

And Rich is obviously very Strong but suffering with numurous injuries But a unreal physique ..

All in all its been probably the best session i've every had at Strongman proving i need to get out more..

Thanks again lads for welcoming a Northern wa**er into your gym ..

Much Love

It was great having you down mate. Your static Strength is just superhuman!!! 450kg 18inch deadlift was impresive as f**k.. i have seen some good lifts but that was the best!! and 160kg viking press for 10 or 11 reps (SICK) we are at the same level mate. i need to work on my static lifts and you need to work on your moving events!! I look forward to many glorious battles with you my friend!! either way we both have the same goals and thats to take down paul wood and i have no dout that will happen soon!!! your dedication to this sport shows buy the massive journey you made today!! Mark is a great bloke and strongman!! and if i lived up north i no where and who i would be training with!!!

sounds like a top day and yea..if you buy tickets 'on the day' they rape your ass !!!

what happened to the 60 quid train fare 127 is a fu--- ing joke ........

easy simon you'll upset toby talking like that lol !!

sounds like ya had a blast well done boys !!

450 !!!! 18 !!!! Cleggy you are a t**t haha

Beast :0 well in mate

Toby smashed me on the the 18inch deadlift mate!! I love training with toby as he always helps me out when im using bad form he corrects me!! and he always pushes me that bit more!! i love him lol

Bro-mance !! awesome lol !!

looks like a top session lads!

Si is he right behind holding the bar when he corrects you hes always trying that dirty little bugger lol

He loves holding my bar lol

has this bit of kit been officially measured?

i think when set the bar is more/less 18'' but when loaded an take in mind the skips are huge which allows the weight to be distrabuted further out as from a normal bar/plate set up the pull is easy !! as the bar flex's tons before the skips are off the floor !!

looks good mind !! but f**ks bars !! lol

Here is my run down of the day.. 18inch deadlift, my form was corrected today as it was wrong and i will be working on it. i hit 300kg and told cleggcakes to put 10kg in for a p.b and the f**ker slipped 20kg in!! no lift lol clegg smashed 450kg with ease, unbelivable strength!! toby im sure pulled 350kg? viking press cleggcakes did 140kg for 10reps so i did 140kg for 11 reps. thought i was the dogs bollox for 5 seconds then cleggers put 160kg on and did 10 reps and wipped the smile of my face (barstard).. i then tried 160kg and did 3 reps which was a p.b so happy days!! conans wheel, worked upto 300kg for nearly 2 turns. cleggers needs time to get used to this kit but im sure he will.. half a turn... pressing medley clegg pressed the 2 man log, 115kg log, sleeper and dumbell.. i did the same.. me and toby finished with 80 meters of farmers in 20 meter and 40 meter runs, 95kg farmers.. great day could have done with hitting stones aswell but loved cleggers company
