| Flat Bench Bar x lots different widths 60x10x2 should hurting a lot on the first set. 80x8x4 Should was really quite painful so went narrow grip, all controlled to minimise risk to shoulder. Incline Bench 60x8x3 same again, narrow due to shoulder pain. Seated incline machine press 10each sidex10x3 very light would normally do a up to a 60 max but no strength. Fly Machine 6x12x3 very light again seated flat press 21'sx3 no rest, light just working muscle endurance. machine side raises 10x3 mega light triceps some light stuff again. | |||

| Yorkshire’s Strongest Man U105kg 2016 24hour weigh in, made weight easily at 102kg, with minimum dehydration. Didn’t massively feast on the Saturday, but had more then normal. Woke up on comp day feeling tight and weak, pretty normal for a comp day though. Unfortunately this feeling didn’t go, my stomach wasn’t feeling great either. 1st Event – 260kg deadlift for reps – 0REPS Joint last Very stiff bar, not loads of grip the plates seemed slight smaller, and it wasn’t on a flat surface – now my excuses are out of the way lol, I failed. 0 lifts, training had been on target for this so disappointed. I think I just got my set up all wrong and didn’t try hard enough. Overhead medley – 100kg axle,100kg log, 58kg dumbbell. 0lifts last again Still felt awful, struggled getting the axle to my should then, when I eventually did, as soon as I dipped it fell forward. Massively disappoint as wanted to get all the way through to the dumbbell at least, and had managed it in training. 220kg Conans Wheel – 1 ¼ revolutions – 5th 1st up, had a massive wobble when I stood up with it which sapped a lot of energy, managed to come 5 th, again disappointed as I would have come 2nd if I did what I did in training. Car hold with straps – tigra +60kg -1st Felt light, but due to the uneven ground it di move about a lot in the hands. I wasn’t happy it was a grip with straps, I used figure 8’s but genuinely had the grip in my hands all the time, and don’t think the straps would have helped much as its all about fighting the pain rather than strength. Atlas stones to sternum height. 100-110-120-135-155kg – 2nd or 3rd Ive not touched them for a while but had been feeling ready for this. I managed the 1st 4 in 20seconds, and left a lot of faith in popping them of my belly that they’d land on the platform lol. The 155 was just ripping the skin off my forearms, looking back I didn’t scoop my hands under it enough, didn’t mange to lap it, which is a shame as I should have got this to be fair I was feeling plenty strong for it, just couldn’t bear the forearm pain. I came joint 4th, out of 8/9. Can’t explain what was up with me at the start but happy to make top 5, could have done a lot better in my own performance though. Could be argued it wasn't the strongest Yorkshires field of recent times, as there was some strong local names missing, but you can't control who does and doesn't enter. Weather was brilliant, and the comp ran very smoothly. | |||
