 I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | MarkClegg said:Junior the CHAMP ... Brilliant ! Well Done Team PAGAN !!!!!! Cheers Mark ! I was sickeningly proud  Really enjoyed today! Great comp IMO, helped a lot in fairness by probably the best days weather we have had this year. I'm f**king lobstered! I think Neil did a great job putting this comp on. Anyone who has been involved with running or helping out at comps will tell you it's not as easy as it looks and I think today went well. Some great performances all round too. I'd like to give my other training partner Shaun 'The Protege' Plews a shout. He destroyed the medley winning it overall never mind the U90k's. 'Badger' was a worthy winner , taking event wins in both the stones and deadlift with more in the tank. | ||

 Member 1676, 304 posts SQ 260, BP 192.5, DL 363815.5 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | Enjoyed today, great/well run comp considering the amount of competitors, wish i could of done better on the pressing medley but least i now know i need to practice a hell of lot more on the monster dumbbell. Hats off to the winners and everyone who took part, the heat made it hellish. Class gym by the way, wish i could have had a crack at the car deadlift. | ||

Getting fat is just as dumb as using PED's Member 3387, 2532 posts SQ 275, BP 200, DL 290765.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | Fantastic day and well done to Neil for organising the show, well run and it had a nice family feel. Chuffed to bits that i won the 105's in my first comp, dont think i would have won if Neil and Mark didnt persuade me to start on the 120 stone so big thanks to them again. Nice to meet the competitors who were all friendly and gave some good advice. Time to get big,put 5kg on and take this sh1t to the next level. | ||

Yorkshire's Strongest Novice at The Junction, Horbury (a great gym )Well I'll start with making weight.. On Tuesday morning I was weighing 108kg, oh dear  , I didn't want to be in the opens, not strong enough! So I cut down from there, no carbs in the evenings and generally eating a lot less, not drinking choco milk either! So Saturday morning I'm at 105.4 and a little worried although not much to shed. So I didn't eat much all day, cornflakes & protein shake for breakfast, homemade low fat turkey burger & salad for lunch and salmon with stir fried veg for dinner at 4:45pm. No more food, drank lots of water all day until 6pm. Bed time 10:00pm weighing now 104.6! Slept in a few layers but got too hot and took some off. Got up at 8:00am although awake before weighing 104, good stuff. Hot shower to make sure, and a protein shake with 200ml water. Set off to The Junction early with Sob and got there 9:30am. Weighed in at 104kg on the dot clothed, result, but too much underweight lol. Sandwich eaten, rehydration drink and then plenty of lucozade and zero. Felt ok, don't know how strong though! A very sunny hot day, all events outside. Very nervous now waiting for the comp to start, loads of big guys about, not good. First event running order announced and I'm 2nd up. Farmers Sprint 110kg 15m Very very nervous, so much so I forgot to pull up my knee sleeves  . Picked up fine although a little slow, picked up pace fine, was heading for an ok time but lost grip 1/2 metre from line... kind of shoved them over! Oh dear as soon as I did this I felt a twinge in the base of my back. For f**ks sake, I was in agony (and I'm not just making excuses! I wish I was!) This put me middle of the pile.Went inside to stretch off, felt awful, was contemplating pulling out it hurt that much but Sob talked me into carrying on. Cheers, I'm glad he did. 2 Ibruprofen taken plus 2 STRONG Co-codamols. Overhead Medley My nemesis! Shoulder strength still s**t. Back very sore, lumber support on TIGHT keeping it in check. So I breezed the 100kg Axle, amazed and happy.. but I couldn't get the f**king 55kg dumbbell up for the life of me.. Oh dear, near last on this. This put me near to the bottom now. Axle Deads 210kg Now my best in training at these is 5 reps, I was hoping just for that, but I got a PB at 7 reps. Got to be happy, although Sob got 10 reps the bas***d! I think the painkillers had taken effect as the pain wasn't as bad. This put me a little higher but still in bottom third. Moving Medley Barrel removed due to heat, good! My back was ok at best. I was first up so no time to beat. Set off fast with yoke. Struggled to pick up Sandbag quickly but not too bad. Made the mistake of re-applying chalk for the frame, should've gone straight into it but hey ho you learn from your mistakes. A decent ish time of 38 secs but probably mid table. This moved me up the rankings slightly. Atlas Stones over 50" Yoke Potentially a good event for me. 2 more Ibruprofen taken. I was third up.. Tackied up well and they were shouting my name as I took shelter from the heat inside! Elected for 120kg stone to start, I've repped 5 in training easily but the heat and exhaustion meant I got 4 reps. 110kg stone rolled in, 2 more reps, 1 more... whistle blew. 10 points, put me in the early lead. Not many got more so I scored decent points. I encouraged Sob to take the 120kg stone first if he wanted to win 105s, which he did, and then did! But he got 10 points and couldn't even let me beat him on MY event! Lol. Very happy with this result. This pushed me up from the bottom of 105s to 7th out of 10 or 11 I think, and 20/30 overall. I'm happy with that, don't think I was at my strongest due to last minute cut and back pain but it's all good. My aim was not to come last and I didn't! Well happy for Sob, we both trained hard, he's just a lot stronger/fitter than me! Went for an curry buffet straight from comp and parked myself on the sofa (after a bath) for the rest of the night! I really enjoyed the day, as did my family. Thanks to Neil, and all the helpers/refs Pagan and Gates etc for encouragement, and all the competitors for a friendly environment. I will be back, fitter and leaner, oh and STRONGER! Here's my Vid: | ||
