Hey Jonny, Just in case you don't check the SSM site, Big Al's wanting you to e-mail him re the comp! | |||

We had a small strength comp up here in a local gym with the boys at the end of December, thats what made me wanna do this one, was such good crack! That was the first time i had picked up a stone, quite liked it! It was 100kg stone load for reps in 60 seconds, got it 9 times (video below), but have never tried a 110 or 120kg stone, hope to try this weekend! s**t, 9 reps with the 100 is impressive. I am now officially s**tting myself. You know if you beat me that I will complain that your strength comp counts as a strongman comp, and that you should not have been eligible for a 1st timers? I've been training strongman for a while, but have slacked off over the winter coz of typical dodgy weather (and being lazy!). Farmers is my weakness too. If i can manage to pick them up i'll be happy, but will start crying when they slip out my hands after 1.56m | |||

Hey Rosco, Think 3 guys from this board are in for sure (2 of us from Edinburgh though), and possibly another 2 more depending on if Al's taking any late entries. Look forward to seeing you there! p.s. care to give away any inside info on your guys (strengths/weaknesses) | |||

Good events, and nice to see a comp that isn't doing floor to overhead log. Reckon you boys should get your names down. I'd be up for coming to watch if circumstances permit. | |||

Olly and Jonnymills - Your names are not on the list of competitiors, which was posted yesterday. It might be worth e-mailing big Al to see if there is any chance to still get in, but i fear the doors may be closed. | |||

Game on! Log - 3 or 4 reps Farmers - 20m, depends a lot on the implements used though Yoke - 15secs, and chain, not sure, mibbie finish it in a minute Medley - wildcard, fitness will let me down, but i'm sure i'll at least complete the course Stones - up to 110 and have a bash at the 120 | |||

You need to learn to tense your tongue on the yoke walk. It helps with stabilisation. | |||

Good to see a log Jonny. Solid training as always. Any plans to do any other comps later in they year, or just the first timers and then see what happens? | |||

Good session Olly! Cracking on the farmers especially. Get your name down for the comp before it's too late - you know it makes sense | |||

Nice. A kg of CEE is hcore also. When you get the pea in such quantities, it is in a nice big 15kg sack. | |||

But they're all stuff you can also do with one, so i think the benefits of having 2 are not as simple as 2x1. | |||

Me and Jono ordered some the other day. I just got a pair of 24's, but that mad f**ker got 12's, 16's, 32's and 40's, pairs of them all! Not sure if it's worth having two now really, so might sell one of my 24's, just got caught up in the moment Will be good for endurance stuff i reckon, and also for going away (short breaks and s**t when it's hard to take any sort of equipment). |
