 technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Firstly, whatever the negatives of this comp, I'd like to thank Craig for the HUGE effort he put in over the 2 days (and more). He was always on the f**king go, plastered in sweat, and looked like a broken man at the end of the day  For me, the scales thing was not an issue, if for instance I, or anyone else were 107 rather than 105, dont think it would have effected their placings 7 event comps are the dogs bo***cks for me, but when there are 7 events, you cant expect it to be over and done with in 3hrs Comp equipment was also bob on, never had a 105 comp with such great equipment (well, apart from that 90KG stone that fell too pieces LOL) Huge thanks to Ash and ROb also, who were always encouraging the athletes and letting them know exdactly waht they required from them Dissapointed not to see a Northern lad win it, I think in future comps any opne of Clegg/Hixxy + Robbo has the taking of Woods IMO | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | i will second the comment about comp equipment - top notch! Also, liked the focus on safety that rob was putting on, and how the layout was done. Awards for consistancy has to go to hixxy, woods and simon - and the third ben, but i didnt see all his placings, so not sure. Goes to show you do not have to dominate events to place high if you are consistantly up there. unfortunately it works other way around too, and if you are consistantly s**t, you will get the wooden spoon even if you dont place last in any event | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | i would also like to know how much weight did Rob lose on this massive cross training conditioning general preparedness practise session? Man was drenched in sweat, red faced, panting out of his arse looking exhausted. That was after the first event | ||

 vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 28.06.2010 @ 12:20 PM by Ben_F The Good...Great bunch of lads, thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with you all! Joni & Olly - that incredibly kind offer from you guys (although not needed in the end anyway) meant more to me than any placing. Craig and the guys helping him clearly worked their arses off, thanks to you all for putting the effort in. Great venue! Top notch kit, the events were really good. The Bad... The scales were at least 3kg off. Some competitors were not weighed in at all. No scoreboard. No MC (this was a big problem for the crowd as they had no idea what was happening) Too long a day (more for the spectators than the competitors) Changes to listed events. No trophies Overall: Its oop North next year... Craig - don't take everything on board yourself, between us all we can make sure its an awesome comp. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 255, BP 167.5, DL 330752.5 kgs @ 103kgs Eq | Posted in my training log: Medley 280kg yoke x 20m, 120kg farmers x 20m, 3 flips of a tyre 46.xx secs Not bad, but not great either. 5-10 secs off the pace here really. Yoke let me down. Mid-pack finish. Viking Press 130kg 8 reps Wasn't expecting much really as had only done 6 in training and my push press has gone to s**t recently. 3rd bottom finish I think. Frame squat 250kgish 6 reps Farily pleased with this until nearly everybody who went after me beat it! 3-4th bottom finish. At this point I was thinking "2 bad events gone, apart from you've still got some good events left. Just don't f**k them up!" Joni echoed these words to me too before the Conans... Conans Wheel 300kg 2 revolutions Absolute disaster! It swung forward at the start, almost out of my arms straight away. I managed to grind out 2 laps with it virtually sitting on my wrists in a half curl position the entire time. Mid-pack finish. After this event the competition was as good as over for me i.e. I knew there was no chance of qualifying for UKs. Everyone else seemed to be on fire, my head had gone and I was struggling like f**k with the heat. Profusley sweating all day long just made me feel absolutely f**ked for pretty much all day long. 18" skip deadlift 2" axle for max. Opening weight 280kg x fail TBF this is my max, although I pulled it pretty comdfortably last week in training and was hoping for this, and more, but it was not to be. Would have made f**k all difference points-wise had I got it anyway I don't think. Don't think anybody else failed this = last place. Things just going from bad to worse now... Overhead medley '120kg' 2 man log - pressed (felt more like 105 TBH) 110kg log - fail! 65kg DB - pressed 105kg Appollons axle - pressed 70kg railway sleeper - fail! The nightmare continues. Should have pressed them all without much fuss really. But didn't. Sleeper felt very light, just didn't have my hands right to press it. Just wanted to go hmoe now as it was getting very late and I was exhausted. Somewhere mid-bottom half placing I reckon. Atlas stones 90kg x 69" 110kg x 66" 120kg x 63" 135kg x 60" 160kg x 57" fail Probably my best event of the day (placing-wise). Top 6 placing probably. (2 got 5 stones, me and a few others got 4 stones, not sure of times though). About half an hour after this I threw up. Think it was just the long day and heat exhaustion. Found the day VERY tough to get through, both physically and mentally. Nobody ever said it was an easy sport though! When the placings were announced I was very shocked to hear I'd beaten JC and Ben (who I thought had had a good comp.). 12th place overall, reserve for UKs. Looks like i may get an invite as JC said Harry is away on holiday that week. Fingers crossed I'll get in somehow! Obviously overall I'm VERY disappointed with my performance. Yes I knew the events were bad for me a long time ago, but I underperformed on my 'supposed' good events too. Definitley my worst comp performance so far. That is not to take anything away form the guys who placed above me though. They were very good indeed: 1st Woody - excellent all-rounder. didn't dominate every event (only won 1 I think!), but proved that consistency wins comps. This is why he is the best. 2nd Cleggy - Could have been the winner had he not blacked out on the Conans, but so is life...I'm sure he'll win this thing in the near future. 3rd Hixxy - great performance as predicted by some of us. Thoroughly deserved to be on the podium. All rould beast and great guy to be around at training/comps. 4th Ben K - Very impressive. Good at everything - young, fit and fast. bas***d. 5th Simon - Another very impressive performance. Stones, squat and deadlift in particular. I knew everything else would be very good anyway... 6th Bish - smae as Ben K basically. t**t! Good to meet you on Saturday mate, very impressive performance. Still up for Sunday? 7th Robbo - IMO fantastic performance! Yes I know there will be things he won't be happy with, as that's the type of guy he is, but the way you came out and smoked that medley sent out a message to everyone that you weren't there to f**k around. Or at least it did to me anyway Onwards to the UKs mate! Will look forward to getting stuck into some proper training with you for this one as I think we bring out the best in each other. 8th Harry - very impressive all rounder. Definitley a force for the future. 9th Marsden - top 10 as I told you in the car on the way down! You seemed to struggle with the heat as much as/worse than me, but still put in a good performance regardless. Impressive stuff mate, onwards to the UKs! 10th - Rich - Statically very strong. Squat was outstanding and viking very impressive too. 11th Ben Pierce - top guy and top performance. Seeing him, Ben F and Cleggy battle it out on the 18" deadlift was one of the highlights of the day for me. 12th - me 13th - JC - needs a good f**king slap IMO! Starting to accept sub-par comp. performances for someone with his talent is just not acceptable! Enjoy your off season, do well at Open Englands, put on s**t loads of weight, smash all your PBs, then come back next season and show us all what you can really do. MUCH more to come form you yet mate... 14th - Ben F - solid performance. Had ssome weak events like myself, but performed very well in lots of events - squat, conans, deadlift sttod out. I didn't see your medley but was told you beat me by a second or so you bast! 15th - Toby - Good to meet you on Saturday mate. Obviously not your day, but I think everybody knows you'll have your day sometime soon, no doubt about it... 16th - Joni - absolute living legend. That is all. BIG thanks to Craig for putting the comp on. Rob, Ash and the other helpers for all their hard work. I don't think I need to add anything to what's already been said. Ben France (amongst others) has pretty much said it all. I will look forward to next years' comp for sure. | ||

You didnt perform as you can Saturday, but forget that now, onwards to the UKS, which has some GREAT events for you, and can really see you being in the mix on that one with a bit of belief! | ||

Shoulderz like boulderz Member 842, 479 posts | cheers mark, i had some aweful events too, although i was expecting them, i dont find comps too bad in terms of feeling like s**te after, the hardest thing is keeping my energy up for a whole day with a lack of food intake as i cant eat very much when im stimulated up all day. hows the hand toby, you need to stop wearing gloves when you train or using moisturiser as your hands need maning up. | ||
