 Not so much as forgotten as can't remember Member 894, 4924 posts SQ 245, BP 167.5, DL 272.5685.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Text from joni: Hey man, wont get to sugden for a while but missed the finals on countback, shared 8th! Conans low placing hurt, though this time i didnt f**king pass out, so i am pleased. Couldnt have done any better in farmers or vikings either so i lost to better guys. See you in the gym next week mate! As somebody who used to do well when others faltered and grab points where they were, he's looking more competitive the stronger he gets And with him always up for a challenge IMO his strongman career will improve constantly | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 255, BP 167.5, DL 330752.5 kgs @ 103kgs Eq | Well done Joni. Never great events, but only just missed out - going from strength to strength - in another couple of years you should be looking for top 5 in these comps... | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | hey thanks guys  3 weeks gruelling challenge DONE! The comp last saturday went well - but losing finals on countback was suboptimal Farmers 125kg cylinder style suitcases for 40m - finished the distance but dropped the farmers many times, grip endurance not good, they were tough farmers and f**ked up hands didnt help, but should have done better. 7th place i think. 130kg viking press for reps - this felt AWESOME! Banged 8 reps fast but then lost it on the way down and it slammed the supports. A mistake i guess, controlled down and a bit of a rest could have given a chance for one more rep, maybe. Shared 8th place. Conans - easily my weakest ever event from everything ever. Goal: do not f**king pass out! And i didnt, it was horrible from the start, but got some speed in my legs and got the first lap ok, second one started to feel like it was going and lost it just before reaching second lap mark. Low placing since the finns like their conans! result: shared 8th position, losing the seat in the finals on countback! Was a bit disheartening, would have been easier to lose it properly  Cant complain about how the events went though. Just have to get stronger. ---------------------- OK, prep starts for the UKs eventhough i might not get the invite. Any suggestions and ideas are welcome. Planning to focus on being more explosive, and event specific training. Grip needs nailing as does deadlift. | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | And man of near misses, last year you were a man of pretty much complete misses! Great progress mate. The year after your injury I don't know if you weren't as motivated or what but no comparison to the current level. | ||
