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

| Well done on the log PB, Will. My pressing is a bit hit-and-miss at the moment. I'm expecting delivery of a 2" bar tomorrow, so I can start training axle. | |||

| A 230 dead lift is respectable, as is a 180 unequipped squat. | |||

| Great pressing Will. Have you tried a double dip technique on the log? | |||

| I think your neighbour would rapidly become apologetic if confronted by a 16.5 stone strongman! I haven't been to the gym since before xmas and I feel weak! I've had a couple of VERY brief (literally 10 minutes) sessions in a freezing cold garage with just a bike light for illumination with an Argos bar - just to keep myself ticking over! I power cleaned 106Kg and did 5 comfortable push presses with it today. Hopefully back to normal next week. Looking forward to watching WSM in 15 minutes, even though I know what happens. | |||

| I really enjoyed this programme. Some really daft events in the old days! OD Wilson really should have won in 1990. Running 200m with 100Kg on your back is not a valid strongman event in my opinion. An average man could have beaten OD at that! I didn't agree with Kaz when he said Magnusson's strength "wasn't that great". It was! Awesome squatter. | |||

| The fact that it's a 2" bar has got to make a difference - the grip is less secure, and the centre of gravity of the barbell is SLIGHTLY further away from the body. The only problem I sometimes have with power cleans is the "catch" at the top, due to a lack of flexibility. | |||

| Well done on the log PB. 5Kg ahead of me! You've inspired me to try some platform dead lifts! Today I had a chunky 50 plate under each foot and did 2 sets of 3 with 221. I have issues of slow recovery with dead lifts, but I'll see how I get on. Next week I'll try 222.5 for 2 sets of 3. | |||

| Tony, just to clarify - there are 2 Cowdreys. The Cowdrey involved in organising the southern qualifier is called Simon. | |||

| In my opinion elimination events should be strength events rather than technical/speed events. Maybe dead lift (230? for reps) and log (105? for reps). It would be nice to see a couple of lesser used events crop up. Some examples - pole push, overhead rock lift, power stairs, Hercules hold. Otherwise it just ends up being the bog standard - press, dead, yoke, farmer's, stones. | |||
