Member 798, 9948 posts SQ 260, BP 150, DL 272.5682.5 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 20.06.2010 @ 22:42 PM by BigMacca Hello Lads,First thing big congrats to James, Kenny and Boar = Solid performances all round (especially James) Also a massive thanks to all the organisers for a 1st class event, I've spoken to a few spectators and they all had nothing but praise. Also a massive thank you to Tony for being a fukcing rocking Ref - Fair and totally consistent! Spotters and loaders also did a great job! Down to my performance today... I've got to say that I'm disappointed in myself, I feel that I could have done better and should have been pushing for top 4. Barrel Load I completely messed up the barrel load by insisting on trying to drag the sled facing forward (even though I saw Boar Struggle), and I left it too late to turn around = Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Log 1st went up easy but I messed the clean up on the 2nd and it was a hard lockout. Cleaned the 3rd without any drama but didn't get enough kick from my legs to give myself a chance of locking out - On paper this should of been my worst event but I finished mid pack somewhere Deadlift I tore callouses on both hands last week so I knew the deadlift and suitcase / frame carry were going to be a b**ch and they both cost be big points. I made the mistake of taping my hands for the deadlift and all it did is make griping the bar that much harder. After 5 reps my grip slipped so I had to ditch the tape. I got another 6 reps out but my grip was tired now and a spent about 10 seconds trying to lock out rep no 12 but the bar was slipping from my hands all the time - Tony quite rightly did not allow the rep. I tore 2 callouses in my left had  Suitcase / Farmers As my hands were bleeding, I taped them up again but the tape was so slippy the I lost my grip on the suitcases after about 5 meters. I removed the tape and finished the run to the frame without anymore drama (although my grip was shagged from trying to use the tape). I did damage my left hand further though. I re-chalked, picked the frame up and everything felt solid, I was off and thinking to myselft "thank god I'm going to complete this" but after about 5 meters the skin on my left hand gave way and I dropped the frame. I managed to rip the skin off (a fair chunk of my left hand was bleeding freely now) and get the frame most of the way up the course but with a few drops Left hand was now a complete mess but would not affect any more events Squats Feeling a bit low now I made a last minute decision to use Boars knee wraps, which turned out to be a disaster for me - I honestly think they cost me 3 reps I wasn't used to how they through you forward on the ascent and I literally nearly fell over during 3 of the reps (I'm pretty sure I locked out one of them on a one foot). I got 12 reps and had a stumble on the last rep which meant I had to rack the axle - Still 12 was enough (just) to take the event  Stones I shouldered the 100 / 110 and waddled the 120 easily enough and lapped the 135 without any problems. As I went to wrap my hands over the stone, I got Shane's disease and my middle 2 fingers on both hands cramped up and locked on my palm so I looked like I was giving the devil horns http://www.metalmartyr.com/files/2008/03/windowslivewriterblac... I managed to reach over and unlock my right fingers and clamp them to the stone but was buggered for my left hand - Tony realised what was going on and sorted me out (Thanks T - you've made a friend for life there) and I got the stone up but I think I had it on my lap for 15-20 seconds costing my yet more points  Finished in 6th (only 0.5 off 5th) I know I've only been training for this strongman lark for a couple of months but I really wanted to get to the Britain's, but I'll continue plugging away and come back badder then ever next year! Highlight of my day was seeing Shane's face after spraying his hands with my spray plaster (I'd done mine a few minutes before so wanted to share the pain) - I did tell you that it would sting a little My bloody hand is a right mess but all of my other niggles are ok (knee, hamstring and rib) so I can at least get back into training straight way - 270kg squat by the end of this year..........

Member 1093, 5446 posts SQ 160, BP 105, DL 225490.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Firstly, congratulation to everyone who had anything to do with this comp! It was a most magnificent success! This was my first equipped competition (I borrowed Boar's tripod) and with me not being used to such things, the first 4 load and drag videos didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. Also, please note that these are the low quality versions, just to get them on here quickly. I'll upload the better quality ones when I've got a few spare days. | ||

 Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq | Congrats to all involved. Sounds like a good day. Handy little tip for all those who seem to have destroyed there hands during the day and had it damage their fun - when I was a rower we used to put surgical spirit on our hands a couple of times a day - your hands will become rock hard and may well survive some nasty grip challenges without ripping. | ||

 'I'm not coming onto you.... but' Member 1366, 1596 posts SQ 155, BP 100, DL 180435.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Well done to all involved yesterday, competitors and behind the scenes, absolutely quality competition. Especially wanted to say how impressed I was with all the u90s camaraderie, helping each other out when needed with chalk, tape, tacky etc. Also special mention to the two camermen in Boar Jnr (little legend) and Fandango, looking forward to the full broadcast. | ||
