Win Britains Natural Strongman!! No serious injuries. Wow, impressive if you can acheive these! Overhead squat, I'd be lucky to get 20kg lol. Is there a Britains Natural Strongman with qualifiers, or is it a 1 off (the one Glen Danbury ran this summer?) I dont think there all that impressive... there probably made harder by the desire to be lighter. Ive pulled 285, Behind neck jerked 120, overhead squated 80, snatched 90, pressed 120 - cleaned 115. So its maybe 10% over the course of a year. The comp is assuming that Glen runs a comp again. but he did mention potential qualifiars and different weight classes. will have to see. | |||

300 for 5 would be insane. but its 86% of ur target 1RM. Will be very tough. | |||

Post Edited: 01.12.2009 @ 22:24 PM by thosebananas Hey.I'd like to go see a physio for my knee, but I don't wanna pay 40 quid for the privilege of being told to rest forever and that squating hurts knees. Any suggestions within Glasgow? Cheers | |||
