| Sounds like it was a GREAT comp. Well done to everyone. Some VERY impressive dead lift numbers. | |||

WILLSAN said: and wtf are you doing up at 20 to 3 in the morning?!? Unpredictable working hours! Messes up my sleep... and often my training  .I'm surprised pole push is such an unpopular event. I've only done it once - against Laurence Shahlaei!!! - and I'd like to have a go against more appropriate opposition! I know there's an injury risk, but isn't there with most/all events? How many Atlas Stone injuries (biceps!!) have you seen? I agree that wrestling is naff. Tug of war is a little too bodyweight dependent. The problem with an event like that is - how do you fairly decide on who goes up against who? | |||

WILLSAN said: itll be indoor so the events will be mostly static. theyll be roughly something along these lines: log or axle for reps silver dollar dl for max farmers hold loading race probably sandbags + big barrels inch replica for reps and one more. I'd be up for an intermediate comp, Will. "and one more"... how about pole push?? Great fun! 400 yoke would be out of place in an intermediate comp! I'd be delighted with a couple of steps! That's assuming I could lift it!!! | |||

| Good stuff! Solid farmer's/yoke. Good pace. Good power cleans. Interesting technique - shifting legs outwards to help receive bar on chest. Effective! | |||

WILLSAN said: today I learnt snowman constuction = not good for back and hamstring injuries. I once pulled my bicep lifting a large snowball (pretending it was an Atlas Stone)!!! | |||

| Well done on your log PB. A decade ago that would have been a respectable weight in World's Strongest Man! | |||

| Yes, a novice comp would be your best intro. The 2 most important gym lifts in terms of max strength are dead lift and push press. The weights used in u105 comps are heavier than those in novice comps. The dead lift in the southern qualifier for ESM u105 is 220Kg, and that is on the light side really. There will be quite a few guys doing 10+ reps. It is a GREAT sport to be involved in. Keep working on your gym strength, get yourself access to strongman kit, and put your name down for a novice comp! | |||

Thing said: i also remember mark illiffe was not a great deadlifter either. 330Kg. His best assets were his athleticism and his grip. | |||

I've just bought a thick bar - great new toy! No mate, tis right, strict press. I can strict press 115 quite comfortably now!! I would have done 120 if I'd cleaned the bas***d! How is the build up for the Southern qualifiers going? Wow, that is VERY good. The most I've strict pressed is 101 barbell and 105 log. My brute strength is slightly better than it was in last year's BSM u105, but I've been neglecting event training lately. Need to remedy this situation! Did you clean 115 in one movement? | |||

| The official date for this comp is Sunday 3rd May. Start time - 11am. Pint, can I officially put my name down for the intermediate class please. My family live not far from Guildford. They've never seen me compete before (only on video!). | |||

| Look after your knees, JC!!! More rest and less impact stuff! Cutting down on yoke/farmer's won't make you weaker at them! | |||
