you looked FIRED UP! nice one mr. mills. Have you seen this posted on SDF?:

I've been talking to the bloke putting on londons strongest man and trying to get him to put on a 105 comp at the same time! 5th & 6th july, he said he would if i got enough interest! so i will require the names and phone numbers of the people interested so i can pass them on , he will require a £10 deposit from each competitor, call little mick on 07872991582, next week 21st to the 24th i will be unable to answer my phone during the day so please leave a message.
105 comps are becooming a rare thing so we need to pull together and get some going. i will be doing some of the leg work for this one so please lets make it worth while! anyone thinking of putting on a 105 comp this year please do because the 105 lads put in as much hard work as the big boys and the standard of the top 105 boys is awsome! thanks little mick


Ive put my name down. You up for it?

Thanks for the vid Hayden, and also for everyone's encouragement. Things are definitely looking up for the season, just got to keep working hard.

Joni - I think you are spot on in your evaluation of my strengths/weaknesses, plans have been laid...

Which got me thinking - what would be your perfect comp for you i.e. your strengths/favourite events (if you could pick them for a comp). For me I would say:

Some sort of press with a clean for each rep e.g. axle (so I might beat some better pressers on the clean)

Axle deadlifts (so I could beat better deadlifters on grip)

Farmers (speed, distance or anything really)

Yoke/tyre/drag medley (think this would be a good event for me (if I can get a tyre and up my fitness)

Stones,

What would yours be?

Neil - I made my own stones with a slaters mould (18") which is why they are all the same size. I'm thinking about making some bigger diameter stones (which, on the couple of occasions i've used them, have felt good).

Will - Don't want to commit to any comps unless I'm a definite. Would maybe like to see the events first. I've still got the mentality that London is a bloody long way to go for a comp, but it's not that bad I suppose. I need to plan my comps for the summer to make sure non clash, but it's a definitely maybeGrin

hey thats a solid list of events milsy! Looking at that you have pretty much all areas covered actually.

for me i dont know if i have any strengths at this stage, only a collection of more or less weak areas LOL! But looking at the past events i have always places the best in the overhead repping events, and all kinds of fitness type events against all odds. However, those are also events i hate the most Grin

At the moment i would probably place best in some kind of grip events and... f**k, i need to get stronger all over man Grin

Nice stuff Millsy!

Yeah the offer is always there. Ive got plenty of space (Ive got a 4 bed house and two sofa beds!) and if the mrs wanted to come down she'd be more than welcome. To be honest you're more than welcome down whenever you want. Most people are, except Joni, that leaf eating motherf**ker is never welcome in my house!
