| Thank's for all your support guy's and great to know there are people out there willing to pay hard earned cash to see these guy's.I wanted to make sure the athletes were happy & safe & that the spectators got their money's worth, I think this was achieved. Currently working on 4+ projects for 2010, that would be in various part's of the country and also ticketed. My only problem, is promising the "known names" at these event's as often they have International invitations last minute. I will keep you up to date & "Winter Giants 2010" will definately be happening next dec but in a bigger venue. | |||

| working on constructive criticism: Score/projector screen board on some sorts agreed, it was on my list but budget wouldnt stretch... will do next time though. Hercules: even in WSM there is adjustments and crit with this event, in theory most guys dont get to 30 secs, (i thought speedy event) i underestimated them... referee: there will always be someone not happy with the referee but all athletes agree ref's decision is final, all athletes dont start till they have given the ok. Music - we didnt have music as it was being filmed for dvd, and wanted to limit the editing. As for the Microphone: the mic was tested the day before, ( and it was crystal clear) if we had the problem it would of been sorted then, i.e speakers amp etc brought in... no - one was able to figure out what/where the problem was, ... If the mic was working we would of had the crowd warmed up, we would of been able to understand the running order and would of known the points... I apologise, ..hope this doesnt come across as defensive, im appreciating the input... especially seeing as we are discussing deadlifting suits again. | |||

| ..... I bought him that suit from pullum in 2004 (i think) its a 5xl ( after not getting 4x over his thigh).....took him an hour to try it on for me back then.... (with my help).... bad experience, refused to entertain me again.. Until he started going to adders...? He has only used it a handful of times...Strongman seems to be more reps - so he doesnt wear it then. so i guess the straps could be shortened, but how do you then get him into it? not sure who helped at the weekend?... his broad back makes it very difficult if not impossible......And he pushes the same weights without the suit? So I for one would LOVE to see what he could do with a suit if it makes that much of a difference. | |||

| Just my 2p worth, its not about the records...... He didnt have a clue what to expect yesterday, and as mentioned was relieved when Alan told him his lifts... He has been a member since the beginning of the year this was the only comp that didnt clash with "Strongman" . For Felix Its not what you lift but the company your in when lifting.... I predict bigger numbers at the adder's pp in Jan, .... | |||

| Being Felix's first official meet, he wasnt sure what to expect. Luckily Alan gave him a list this morning of what he was to lift & he did: squat as mentioned previously, Bench as mentioned & deads 360-380-400, a great day with really good atmosphere, and he is looking forward to oushing it a bit in his next one. | |||

| Great opinions on the training day, really constructive, i just need some figures on ticket prices and how far people would travel to see 1. uk athletes (from the ticket sales to winter Giant's) people are willing to travel a good 3 hours, and pay £10. 2. how far would guy's travel to see International guy's like Zadrunus & Mariusz & what would you be prepared to pay, .... maybe how many hours you would want for your money... | |||
