 Loves rugby league ... Member 13, 14460 posts SQ 230, BP 180.5, DL 262.5673.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | I understand what calibration is, what I was getting at was can all scales be calibrated, and do you take them to a scale calibrator to do it for you or? Cus obviously to get a certificate of calibration there must be more to it than just sticking a weight on you think is about 100kg or whatever | ||

 Taleban says his views on women are extreme Member 639, 3518 posts SQ 10, BP 10, DL 1030.0 kgs @ 10kgs Eq | Post Edited: 27.06.2010 @ 23:30 PM by bignige1986 A set of bathroom scales that you may pay £50 for are very rarely spot on !! The scales in the gym where i train cost over £2500 and are regularly serviced as they go out of sink and indicate false readings There must be a better way of weighing ppl in ? Lets be honest if its a weight restriction if you weigh 105.1 you shouldnt be allowed to compete, but very unrealistic for organisers to buy 2ks worth of scales, why not do weigh ins the day before with a decent set at a pharmacy or summert | ||

knows some really strong guys Member 323, 1436 posts SQ 305, BP 200, DL 285790.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Madcowdrey said:or everyone bring there own scales in and at the weigh in take 5 readings on 5 random scales to get an ideawhat scales are good to use and what are not You only need I set of scales, just use some calibrated oly or powerlifting disc's to gauge how accurate they are then you won't be that far out, just adjust the reading to what the disc's weighed in at on them? | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 23029 posts | How hard can it be to have a sufficiently accurate weigh-in?? Use a decent set of scales that are regularly checked. Do other sports that have weigh-ins (boxing, powerlifting, weightlifting,...) have all this difficulty? | ||

 Champion of Under The Radar 105 Member 805, 5301 posts SQ 325, BP 202.5, DL 335862.5 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Post Edited: 28.06.2010 @ 06:27 AM by JohnMarsden stainless said: Are you having a laugh? Does it matter what weight competitors are at a weight restricted competition?  It might matter if you pulled out because you didn't make the weight only to find out later that neither did other competitors. If this is too difficult a concept for people to grasp then i suggest in future that you ditch the scales and just let anyone that looks 105kgs...ish enter. Will pissing and moaning change this years outcome? No. Will discussion maybe improve future events? You would hope so.  | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | JohnMarsden said: Have you run a comp before? do you know whats involved? john stainless has been involved in organising/helping out tons of comps in scotland, very good tightly run comps, so he does have a leg to stand on this weigh in issue is a non issue - so many of us have been weighed in powerlifting comps, its a non issue and easy to get right. | ||

It was what it was BUT i beleive everyone would have made weight on the best scales in the world . It was a long day BUT a f**king AWESOME comp - He wanted a differant comp to the conventional "Easy option" of Log,Dead,Farmers,Stones .. We got to use Viking, Squat Frame, Conans  , Appollons, Skip Deadlift .I thought it was an AMAZING comp with only minor teathing problems which he`ll iron out for next year . Have Faith Brothers ... Now what about that "NEW" Ben - f**king T1000 or what ????? And who the hell was "THE KID" ? He was bloody crackers !!!! Can`t of been Framptons offspring he was far too small, Rich ? | ||

 Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq | Post Edited: 28.06.2010 @ 07:55 AM by Tony We should be talking about the great performances of the guys who competed in the comp NOT getting all arsey about the situation .. Fair comment. I've said it before the talent in the 105s is getting scary. Guys in their first season doing some amazing things. From what I saw during my Finnish annihilation there are a good few guys who in no way shape or form would look out of pace on the international scene. Lads like Bish and Hixy add the guys from the deep south that you I don't know and its crackers. Added to that if you consider that strongman is only play time for Bish with his first sport being rugby imagine what the lad could do if he focused 100% on strongman! | ||

 When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | What an awesome bunch of athletes on saturday. The Southern guys, Woods, Cowdrey, Scott, Shaleigh were immense! Superb guys, all well rounded beasts! Bish was so unpredictable, capable of anything and delivered where it mattered. That Ben Kingsley?, sorry if thats wrong, his was like an olympic decathlete! Outstanding! Complete machine! That Clegg dude and that other lad, err Hixxy i thik his name is, they wernt bad either.   Both future champs!My training buddys JC, Millsy, Joni also did great. Dont feel they did themselves justice with their placings as i see what they are both capable of week in week out. Only wish i lived closer to my brothers. The Bar has been raised now, still amazed at the standard of everyone. | ||
