I have ones at my lock up that I use all the tim I love em  | ||

I have ones at my lock up that I use all the tim I love em i was just making the point that they were awkward n very thick handled n even at only 130kg no one flew with them, plus they were part of a medley so makes the time element irrelevant, maybe struggled was wrong word to use,only 5 peopled finished n got to the barrell, | ||

No doubt Gray is making huge strides and will continue to improve I wouldn't/couldn't make that statement though, as the strength in depth in competitors in England is pretty immense IMO | ||

another lover of conans wheel Member 1116, 2379 posts SQ 275, BP 210, DL 330815.0 kgs @ 134kgs UnEq | thanks guys awsome comments n really appreciate it. james makes a fair n valid point the english lads are a very strong group, the talent pool is deep. however i think i can make it n plan to. i wouldnt be doing this otherwise, to much time energy and money not to achieve great things. i gave up a pretty successful and properous bb career to do this. 6 months i been at this now, in may i couldnt press a 100kg log, couldnt clean n press a 120kg axle, 120kg farmers were a struggle and a 110kg atlas stone was near on impossible, now look at my numbers. i jumped straight in to opens, against some of the best guys about n held my own n beat many in dif events. i see liam o'sullivan on the tv (top bloke) who i beat after 6 weeks training. please do not read this as arrogance or bull s**t. i totally respect strongman and all strongmen, there are some beasts out there. see this as desire n will n passion, i will give everything to get to as near to the top in this country as i can. once again great comments thanks guys | ||

It will definitely be an interesting year 2011. And to think 18 months ago I couldn't give a s**t about SM lol. but... i still think gray will be in the pot next year. | ||
