| I think that even with no injury and making no mistakes thor would still be 2-3 points behind licis. If he didn't drop the anvil he would of gained quite a few places, probably would have finished 3rd, maybe even 2nd. He messed up on the Dumbell which cost him 1 place. His foot looked to affect him most on the squat and i think this is why he was pretty much pause squatting as he had balance issues. I think he may have also tightened his suit too much, without suits he would win this event every time | |||

| I haven't watched it but i imagine there is a lot of crap in it that isn't proven or is backed up by studies that are contradicted in a different study. I do know that doctors currently advise against it for pregnant women and young children due to some deficiencies in certain aspects of this "diet" and so how can it be good for people who are trying to push the boundaries in strength sports or bodybuilding. Whenever any sort of diet is looked at in depth the same conclusion is always drawn upon, at that is a balanced diet prevails all. Cutting out a whole food category such as meat can no way be beneficial. I also spoke to someone recently who is vegan and spoke about the strongman it talks about, i was quick to shut him down with the fact that he isnt in the top 20 strongmen in the world. I am curious to watch and see how it portrays him. | |||

Rick said:Some random thoughts, having watched the lot today and yesterday: I was really happy to see the same events in ever hear, until they f**ked it by changing from log to circus dumbbell for the last two heats. WHY? ar****les. I think Novikov was absolutely robbed. Two reps turned down in the deadlift and one in the press, all of which were as legit as many others imo. Should have been Shaw in that stone-off, and that would have been very interesting What Novikov did with the straps was ridiculous though, obviously no rules at the moment to stop it but just plain bad sportsmanship to even do it, those type of straps should just be banned. (Yes i know pretty much everyone else uses them too). And his deadlift lockouts where a bit shady. On the Dumbell though i feel like he was reffed stricter than a lot what i have often seen in the past, was really made to wait prove he was stabilised, but again this is how it should be. | |||

| Slimsim, im curious, do you have a student loan? When somebody says they have a 35k student loan, at first i would be like whaaaat! But when its split down monthly, to me it doesn't seem so bad. The example given on the gov website says someone earning 27k a year pays 60 quid a month. It is a matter of perspective as others say they would love to earn that much money, whilst some claim its nothing. To me 30k here ain't bad. And why does 3 days work with the same hours matter? Work/life balance. Option to do an extra day or 2 at an enhanced hourly rate. Sick pay? Surely most people take this into account when comparing two jobs. 2 days ago i thought i might have fractured a mettertarsal, i had just bought all the stuff for my home gym and have time off soon for christmas so i cant afford to have time off sick at the moment. So the last 2 days ive been taking codeine and going to work. This is why staff throughout the NHS (not just nurses) are off on the sick so much, any little excuse and they are off, i have had around 3 days off sick in 9 years. | |||

slimsim said: But the mean average income in the UK is nearly £30,000 so studying for 3 years, having £30k+ of debt and then only ending up on an average salary makes no sense, yet to the goverment think they'll attract 50,000 more nurses whilst simultaneously implementing an Australian stle points based entry system to the UK when the financial limit to enter the UK is set higher than an average nurses wage. There's a big problem there. The mean average will probably also include London so not a fair comment as nurses down there get paid more also. In my opinion 30k is a good salary for where i live (yorkshire) and also for the rest of the northwest. Nearly every job here would require some sort of degree, apprenticeship or starting from a lower role and being promoted (to earn more than 30k) jobs in the public sector also usually have lower salaries but other benefits. For me (electrician) i did a 4 year apprenticeship and still wasn't put on full wage so i left the company, nobody gets paid if you have a day or two off work, you have to be off for more than 5 days and then you get SSP which is like 80 quid a week. Also usually you get 20 holidays plus 8 bank holidays. Nurses start off on 27+8 rising to 33+8, they also work 3 days a week. Book 3 days off and in effect you get 11 days off work, they also get 6 months full salary sick pay. My other halfs wage tops at like 41k for an accountant in the NHS and she does a specialist area with only her and her manager in that team. She could be on 60k+ in the private sector. | |||

slimsim said: The thing is as well, some occupations like accounts can earn seriously good money, however, I was talking to 2 students doing nursing the other day. One had £35k of debt the other nearly £50k. The one with more debt had to pay for childcare through her entire degree because if you are a student you aren't eligible for the 30hrs free childcare a week. Now nursing isn't badly paid but chances are without some significant promotions they are only going to earn slightly in excess of the national average wage but start of with a massive debt for the pleasure of getting the education which they MUST HAVE to do the job. It's madness! Minimum wage is around £19000 a year, nurses start off on 24k. As per every NHS job you get increases in wage inline with inflation and there is a banding system. After working there for 10 years you reach the top of the band which is around 30k (although at the moment this has been changed so it will take 5 years) Student loans are also paid off as a percentage of your wage, the more you earn, the more you pay each month towards you student loans. My other half is an accountant for the NHS and so everytime she gets a wage rise she ends up paying more towards her pension and more towards her student loan. The nurses may never pay off 50k and im sure it gets scrapped after like 20 years? So the more you earn the more you pay towards it and the more likely it is you will actually pay off the full amount. | |||

slimsim said: Unfortunately, that isn't quite true. If you saw the Andrew Neil interview with JC, because of the Labour planned changes to dividend tax you'll see how, however, for me as a small ltd company owner I'll be several thousand pounds a year worse off under labour, even though I don't earn over the threshold that they said would have the tax increases. Has it stopped me voting for Labour, no. I want a fairer society where working people don't need to use food banks to survive and where people educating themselves don't end up in tens of thousands of debt to often get jobs which pay only slightly in excess of the national average. Do I hope Labour will change some of the divided tax changes within their manifesto, absolutely, but even if they don't I still think it's the lesser of the 2 evils presented. The bit about University, the fees now at up to 9grand a year are ridiculous, they where fine when it was just over 3. The problem is so many people go to uni just to toss it and have no idea of what career they want, i bet 30% of people don't even complete their third year, if it was free to go to uni this problem would only increase, at the current costs there is probably not as much of this happening but i will probably put some people off who generally should be going to uni. My other half studied accountancy and is now an accountant, paying off the 11 grand it cost for her to go to uni is not a massive problem because she choose her course knowing what she wanted to do. | |||

| Friday 29th November Squat 70x8 120x5 160x1 200x1 230x2 200x5 Deadlift no belt 70x5 120x5 160x3 200x3 240x1 260x1 280x3 PB Had no real plan for today, thought i might try for another squat PB but just wasn't feeling it today on squats, 230 was much harder than Wednesdays 240 but decided to go for another rep instead of attempting 250. Had no plans for deadlifts at all for this training cycle so pleasantly surprised at where my strength has finished. Time to back off now. | |||

| Wednesday 27th November Paused bench 70x10 120x5 140x2 160x1 180x1 194x1 PB 200x1 PB Squats 70x10 120x5 160x3 200x1 220x1 240x1 PB Had issues with cramping today but still managed to hit the PBs i wanted for this training cycle. Strained my pec a little bit, not sure if this is because of saturdays incident or the cramping and because even 0.25kg more would have been too much. Squat i had more in me but decided not to attempt any more.. | |||
