| How it went The weather was terrible for the whole week before the comp and I decided to hold the comp inside the gym to avoid weather ruining the show This meant that there could be no head to head battles with matching equipment But the rotten rain could not affect anything In a way I am glad it worked out that way as the comp was going at quite a pace even with one guy at a time, I think head to heads would have killed the competitors It also made for a great atmosphere as the crowed where close to the competitors and gave a different ambience to an external comp Event 1 axle press Not just about big pressing here but big hands, big cleans and some heart and lungs Only 1 guy did not get a lift Thomas but he would improve as the comp progressed Big lifting from Frank the defending champ with 6 but the winner was a joint effort from best buds Lee and Junior with 7, lee almost nicking it but just ran out of time for that 8th rep Thomas 0 Steve M 1 Craig 2 Mike 3 Stainless 3 Steve J 4 Allan 4 Mark 4 Frank 6 Lee 7 Junior 7 Event two was a tough lung and hamstring buster Keg walk of pain First guy up was Thomas after his slow start on the axle and he put in a very strong effort of about 100 meters, which I thought would have won it beforehand, but the impressive runs just kept coming and the defending champ Frank came in again with a solid second place suggesting that his constancy would make him tough to beat But this event was all about Mike Daly ridiculous effort of about 160 meters insane fitness and some serious balls I was knackered just following him, every bit as impressive as his stone carry at Fraserburgh last year Placing Steve J Steve M Junior Lee Thomas Craig Stainless Mark Allan Frank Mike Event 3 was to give the guys a chance to catch their breath and just stand still, well with about 300k in the hands Van deadlift hold, one of my favourite events and this one was heavy, I tested it and it was as heavy as the open. Steve J was out first and the van burst out of his hands within 2 seconds, I think the other guys where worried about the same fate happening to them Solid hands from Stainless and Mike saw them break the 30 second barrier But Mark took the pain till 40 and Allan like the open destroyed everyone with a world class 45 seconds Placing Steve J Junior Steve M Lee Thomas Craig Frank Stainless Mike Mark Allan At this point Allan, last years runner up had a 1 point lead over defending champ Frank with Mark and Mike 2 and 2 and a half points off the pace Event 4 Stones of strength, the stones where done next and with the stones not being last on the event schedule and the guys well rested from the hold we expected some great performances, we where not disappointed Defending champ Frank fell off the pace here only able to get 4 stones over Stainless was fastest with 4, but the big guns pulled out some great stuff to lift number 5. Junior knocked 5 in a faster time than Mark to steal 4rth place, then Allan was piped by Mike by less than a second for second place There was no denying who was the stone king, as Lee threw over all 6 in an impressive 56 seconds Steve J Thomas Steve M Craig Frank Stainless Mark Junior Allan Mike Lee Event 5, after the crowed challenge (which the Project won again) to let the guys get their tacky off they had a 300k sledge to pull for 25 meters All the big grips performed well here again, with frank, just like the stones piped by Stainless for 4rth, and at this point it would seem that his title defence was over The times where close here with guys being separated by 100ths of a second and there was an equipment failure with Allan that caused the referees some problems an unfortunate circumstance for Allan but unfortunately these things happen Going into the last event the scores where Steve J 11pts Steve M 14pts Thomas 15pts Craig 24pts Junior 25.5pts Stainless 33.5pts Lee 35pts Frank 38pts Mark 43ptd Mike 43.5pts Allan 46pts Final event Deadlift to the Death, this was a tough one to finish and the guys where all tiered after a fast running comp, but the big guns only had eyes for the title Frank still had a shot at the final BSM place however; he would have fight hard with Stainless and Lee for that. The top 3 though was going to be Mark, Mike and Allan but in what order, who had the strongest back would decide that Allan had a good 2 and a half point lead over Mike and 3 over Mark but he fell off the pace and as his supporters screamed he needed one more rep he just could not find it With Junior and Lee both getting 1 more rep than him, this opened the door for Mike and Mark to exploit. With the days 5 tough events still playing in their mind and the pain they had put themselves through etched in their eyes they both pulled the bar off the floor 13 times each, and nothing could separate them. But Mike’s half point lead just kept Mark at bay, to take the title he came so close to winning 2 years ago only to lose on the stones Final Placing 1st Mike 54pts *qualifies for BSM 2nd Mark 53.5pts *qualifies for BSM 3rd Allan 53pts *qualifies for BSM 4th Lee 44pts (count back) *qualifies for BSM 5th Frank 44pts 6th Stainless 36pts 7th Junior 34pts 8th Craig 29pts 9th Thomas 17.5pts 10th Steve M 15pts (count back) 11 Steve J 15pts | |||

| alright steve just jumpt on there at half time at the footy you did well the day mate you where only last on countback so remember that there was a lot of positives you should take from that comp some guys spend a lot of time playing in micky mouse comps before they would even dare go near that standard you dived right in at the deep end your press was a piece of piss and when the first one flew up some of the big guys stood up and took notice but your lack of fitness got you after 4 you dug deep and never let the big crowed affect you next thing is to target your next comp and lets get training for it well done takes balls to step up to the plate just remember that some comp though mike mark and allan seperated by 1 point the closest comp i have ever been to and when mc was announcing placings the tension was unreal | |||

| well done steve again today mate i told you your stones would improve very fast once you pick up the tricks you would have got that 130k stone today but you could not get a good contact some nice warmed up tacky and they will fly up your doing well, just three sessions and your improvments are fantastic this is because of the solid foundation your building from, with a good level of gym strength and you will improve the more time you spend learning the skills of strongman we have one last session next week and we will go through all the events we will do some work on arm over arm as we have not had the chance next week is the one you go mental and everyone will leave nothing in the gym sunday you thought you have had it hard next week is a new level of pain then the following week you rest up, carb up, keep busy and dont think to much about it keep your mind clear Come the day you show up on time, grab your shirt, listen to the reff, make sure your clear on all rules when your name is called, you give it hell, everything you have done in training and more you did not even know you had you walk away with no regrets, clear in your head that you gave it your all and where you place is not important just that you did the best you could not many guys enter a national strongman comp for their first comp, not many guys enter after only a months event training, so your right in a the deep end, up against in my opinion some of the best of 105 guys in britain, not just scotland so just having the balls to compete is good enough for my respect you will do well steve and i am sure you can take a few scalps on your stong events i will do my best to make sure you have a great event to make your strongman debut and make sure all the guys have a well run comp i think it is going to be a cracker of a comp mate it could be the comp of the year in scotland i just wish i could dropp 30kg for the day and play - jammy bas***ds  | |||

| na he is not that short about 5'10 maybe 5'11 they say he is 6ft when he is on telly though it does not suprise me that he is wining he is some athelte he never gets the credit he is due after competing with him at UK's 06, i went to BSM last year and when we where all talking about groups every one was like "holding or felix" and i though to myself jimi is getting overlooked here and he was winning squat press and fingers then he should have been third in final but for injury to calve wins englands strongest man for the second time then went to UK's and but for a miss understanding about brickdeadlift should have won that then he was half a point away from making final of wsm then he beat oil in the bsm qualfier a month or so ago and everybody was saying "what was up with oli" "is his bi still hurting him" "is oil not 100%" now he will win BSM and everyone will be singing his praises, only about 2 years too late  | |||
