Ben - I'm looking to have a good year this year after not really achieving much at a national level since 2009 (2010 I was a bit crap, 2011 I didn't do any national finals). My static strength is better than ever and I plan to nail the events this season too. Let's see what happens!


Brilliant! Although as per usual selling yourself a bit short, you hit podium at the northerns qualifier both years didn't you?

Thanks fellas. A pretty run of the mill session really, but a fair amount of graft - it going to become a regular feature here for a while, so may get a bit boring. Hopefully it will be worth it though.

Hixxy - Thanks mate. I suppose after the last 3 years at the Northern...

2009 - 4th
2010 - 3rd
2011 - 2nd

...that I should be aiming for the podium again. The only thing is that in the past the events have heavily suited me. This year they don't really, or at least there are too many uncertainties to be able to predict anything. I'm DEFINITELY going to get up to Salt Ayre soon to get some sessions in with the Morcambe Mongs!

JC - I would LOVE to pull 310-320 this , but I know more than anybody how difficult deadlift PBs can be to come by, so I'll just be sticking to what has worked in the past, grafting away and see what happens.

Smalls - yeah I did, but qualifiers don't really count at a national level. Still pleased to have done well in the north, but I'm aiming higher than that this year...

Must say mate, I think I'm as impressed with your training now as at any stage that I've been following it and thats about 8 years!

Reckon if you can stay fit you'll have a great year.

Cheers Olly. I'm definitely at my strongest ever and really enjoying training at the moment. Looking forward to competing this year.

JC - either that, or a MAX single. I'm erring on the side of the single at the moment. Grin

Cheers Andy, big session Sunday!
