| Sounds like a plan - ive just ordered some of those rehband blue knee sleeves from Jackals Gym like you suggested. Think ill be ordering some Vulkan elbow sleeves in the next few weeks once ive got some more cash. Cheers for all your advice BigKen. | |||

| I got the 90kg stone onto the first 2 platforms but took all the skin of the underside of my forearms and shed blood so didnt want to go crazy and end up f**king my arms up as ive got deadlifts on tuesday. Think that comes down to lack of experience. | |||

| Yeah mate i saw you - had a great session considering ive never touched some of the equipment before. I feel more confident than i did before i went today - given that ive got 4 months to train events i should be able to get to a lift out of most of the events. Only thing i think i will struggle with is the stones but i am hoping that with a bit more practice i will get at least the first 2 up. | |||

| So really i would be better with the vulcan ones as i will know that any lifts are from my own effort rather than the addition of sleeves. | |||

| We got started around 10.20 so by the time we left it was around 1.30pm and i was f**ked. Saw a few guys on the deadlifts - which one were you? I did log press, axle press, farmers, yoke, log bench press and finished on atlas stones. Im pretty happy with what i have achieved today and now know what i need to train more on my gym sessions. | |||

| Awesome mate - i loved it. Think i did alright considering it was my first time with any event equipment - gonna try and get over again in the next couple of weeks. Where were you training? | |||

| Am i right in thinking that the elboe sleeves give extra support and help you lift more? Ive not had problems with my elbows yet but prevention is better than cure. | |||

| What are the sizings like for the vulcan elbow sleeves - i dont have huge arms and my elbow measurement fits into the xs size but dont want to order them and be too tight. Any thoughts other than i need to bulk my arms up? | |||

| Just got back from my first event training session with Mark at Olympic. Top bloke and a proper set up. Cheers for all the advice and training tips - ill be down again in the next few weeks to try and get that stone onto the third platform. | |||
