I'll definetly head up to Dumbarton for events, just give me a shout. I was going to do the dumfries novice but think I'll have to leave it as after doing the uksc comp(even though I got hammered)it's not the done thing to take a step back into the novice comps, So I'll need to wait untill next year and see what strongman comps i can do? At least it'll give me sometime to get better at the events.
I might do the scottish bench champs next month and I'LL do the scottish seniors in nov.

Hey don't sell yourself short, your one strong f**ker and once you get abit of experience under your belt and sort your injuries I'm certain you'll be very competitive.

Cheers Thing, I the Strongman training has not been going well lately, every time I go my training partner does not turn up, or does not want to do anything, so I am in a catch22 situation, I am not training strongman hardly at all right now, and I want too, but I do not have the motiviation to do it myself, I am motivated when I get there and either no one's there, or they can't be arsed doing anything, so it is eating into my energy, it is really bugging me.

It is very hard for me too really push myself on anything at the moment, especially bench and incline, when know ones there to spot you, because I do not want a 200KG+ bench pinning me to the bench, if I am just there myself, and same with Incline and squats, and getting the stones ready, or building the Yolk, or setting the farmers up and loading unloading all the weights on and off, it is just too draining to do it myself, I am a wee bit pissed off as you can imagine, I just wish I could train with someone who has the motivation and drive, to want to train strongman, for I know I would come on leaps and bounds, but I am just staggnating at the moment and actually going backwards, so the comps will have too wait, until I try and sort this out, because it is just deppressing, I just wish someone in Glasgow, or Dumbarton where I train strongman, would let me join in, but I can't find anybody.

But saying that if a comp comes up, I will probably do it anyway, even though I am doing virtually no heavy event training, so another beating is waiting for the weeman.
