 SUGDEN SUCKS! Which is why i am here... Member 370, 1520 posts SQ 285, BP 185, DL 302.5772.5 kgs @ 94kgs Eq | MarkClegg said:Personally .. Best comp i've ever competed in, Loved doing the 7 Events .

Standard of 105kg's = It was one of them unforgetable comps i think.. we were all in the s**t together and had to look for the light at the end of the tunnel.. thats why i cant pick a stand out performance as everyone did so well to last that long in the heat.. i dont think i could do that again mate. it was mentally draining as well as phisiqly... love hanging with all you guys and the titty girls lol | ||

Shoulderz like boulderz Member 842, 479 posts | as a competitor the comp was run smoothly, you could ask to find out your placing and you always were given plenty of notice when you were up, good strict reffing, Nobody should knock Craig for his effort as he has put alot of time and money into this and its people like him that keep this sport going, if you thought the comp was going to only last 4 hours before getting there then its your own fault, i loved it, yes it was long but who gives a f**k, more rest between events. Thanks Craig, Rob Ash, john, (simons mums brothers uncles sister) Colin and George and everyone else who helped out. | ||

Big fan of TWI Member 761, 425 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 260645.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Mistakes can and do happen at all levels of competition. I have respect for anyone taking the time and effort to put on a comp.It sounds like the heat,lack of helpers and the running time made some aspects of the comp unpleasant. I don't know enough to be able to comment about the scoring system, perhaps there's an explanation to come. However, the one thing that is entirely inexcusable is the inaccurate weighing in. Above all else there is really only one thing that MUST be strict at a weight restriction competition and that is the weight of the competitors. Meaning absolutely no disrespect to the athletes who by all accounts put in effort and provided a show,I'm sorry, you may have had a competition but it was clearly NOT an UNDER 105s competition. It is an insult to expect people who have trained their guts out all year and have taken all the steps to make the weight to then have to go up against others who may be over weight. I don't understand why there wasn't more of a fuss made? At this years Scottish under 105s the weigh in will be made completely transparent and in full view of all athletes the scales which are electronic will be accurate to one tenth of a kilogram this is why i can confidently say that anyone weighing in at 105.1kg will be not be competing. No body wants to be the bad guy,athletes don't want to be seen to complain about other athletes,and every athlete wants to test themselves against the best,you don't want to see anybody going home because they're over the weight.But, the 105s is not the 105s'ish and without strict measurements the category becomes a joke. | ||

 Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25597 posts Administrator | well , it seems all the athletes + spectators enjoyed the day !! as for the scales .... no-one would turn up at 109 hoping the scales were 'out' ... so i think most lads would have been close or very close to 105 | ||

 Allegedly very strong, but only Carls word for it Member 682, 838 posts | Heres my comp report for what its worth! Was ill the day before so couldnt keep any food or fluid down Woke up sat dehydrated and hungry but stil not able to keep amuch down After being told comp started between 12 and 1, got a call at 11 saying it was starting early.... I was stil 30mins away! Got there during first event which i was last to go Had no time to try and eat or drink - Jumped on the scales at 95 - not weighed that in a while so scales were slightly out! Medley Yoke felt ok, picked up farmers and dropped near the end, picked up again and went dizzy and vision blurry, dropped half over finish line, picked up again and passed out as i crossed line. Got up and went towards tire with rubber legs and muffled hearing and vision, managed 1 flip Viking press stil in a bad way from medley and shakey, cold sweats, blurry vision, managed 6/7 reps - Thought about pulling out and going to hospital after this! Squat Person doing my wraps did they waaaay to loose but didnt realise as i didnt really know what was going on... until i squatted and came they undone on first rep - 4reps Conans 1 and a quarter turns, didnt have a chance to lower conans on my arms for more distance as i went too fast and basket wobbled alot and hit the floor Deadlift - started feeling a bit more normal at this point - thought i could claw back some points but that wasnt too be!! 280 - pulled comfortably 300 - borrowed JCs straps as they were alot longer than mine, right strap snapped as i locked out, weight dropped onto my knee and somehow ripped a callous off my left hand  Simon gave me his straps but failed lift as hand had blood over it and bar was smooth!Overhead Medley 4 lifts - failed axle Stones - had gone 2 points infront of Joni at this point and he had just done 3 stones so i needed 3 in quicker time to stay ahead Dropped first stone as it was nearly on the platform and a part of it broke off on the floor, loaded it 2nd time and got bits of stone and dust in my eyes... managed next 2 stones and attemped 4th but called time as remembered they wernt doing split times and didnt want 2 loose more points! All in all a very bad day at the office!! My worst comp performance so far, and worst one i wil ever have I think!!!! However, I thought the comp was ran well (what i can remember of it) considering the heat, lack of helpers/loaders and amount of athletes. There wasnt a serious injury throughout the day which is good, especially with all the bicep tears happening lately Well done to Craig, Rob, Ash, Colin, John, Tony (the score guy) and anyone else ive forgotten Hats off to all the athletes who competed, was good to meet you all, sorry to you all and to Craig that i couldnt put on a good performance, but i will be back bigger, stronger, faster and fitter next time (and hopefully not ill) | ||

 pointing the way Member 1298, 631 posts SQ 110, BP 65, DL 130305.0 kgs @ 63kgs UnEq | As a spectator I enjoyed the day. I only arrived during the deadlift but saw some great battles and amazing effort from all competitors! Great to put some faces to names. The stones felt like the last straw for many, so the honest effort that was put in was even more impressive. Cleggy looked disturbingly fresh right to the end though! | ||

Yes it was a long day and Yes there are improvements and issues to speak of. BUT all that aside, great credit to Craig who did work his socks off. Great great bunch of lads north/south/mid Still a bit shell shocked i managed 3rd, there were rooms for improvements too which only means I can still get better  Well done everyone hope everyone got home ok after this long weekend.
