| Unit20 Novice comp today, congrats to Scott (Thosebananas) and Iain (ITRG), I came last but was happy with my performance (mostly) All events 75 seconds. 90kg Log- no rep, cleaned easy enough, no where near press though. Only tried log once before, wanted 1 rep but couldn't get my legs into it. 227.5kg 15" dead, reps - got 4 reps (I think). Well pleased as I've only got 215 from the floor before (never tried 15" either) Stones, 100, 110(?), 128.5(?), 135(?)- only got the first one. First time doing stones, no technique- my arms have lost most of their skin and now sting like a b**ch. Finger- 1 rep, hard as f**k! 135kg farmers Hold- 36 seconds, good for 4th place so well chuffed. Some event training and I'll be on my way! Cheers to Unit 20 and all the spotters etc. Good to meet every one & put names to faces- great crowd, cracking weather and a great day. Can't wait till next time (I'll hopefully know what I'm doing!) | |||

| Squating Day Back squat: 10x bar 5x 60kg 1x 100kg 5x 135kg 3x 155kg 2x 172.5kg (pish) 20x 110kg 10x 110kg 10x 110kg 10x 110kg Bench: 10x bar 5x 60kg 5x 85kg 3x 97.5kg 2x 107.5kg PR (got 3 but I think the spotter touched it even if he said he didn't....) Done. Squating needs more attention, keep on changing stance and can't find whats best. | |||
