Ive been suffering a cold for the past few days... lost a bit of weight/appetite. Not exactly the best prep, but im still confident enough. Looking forward to meeting you all and comeptiting against you.

1st lift = safe lift that you can do any time, any place under any conditions

2nd lift = previous pb or slightly under (i would go slightly under but different people do different things)

3rd lift = PB time

going out, with the nerves of a comp with different equipment, to equal your best lift ever may well just f**k you up


At the minute, ill be using this. 2nd lift being my previous PB.

Could all change depending on how im feeling or how the standings are at the time.

I have chilled out a bit today. Did the deadlift in gym today and happy with speed and number. Cant see me winning it but pleased with todays effort none the less. Am going to have a crack at log tomorrow or monday and then I am resting up for the big day.!!!!


What did you get on the dead?

Im having my last heavy session tomorrow, log, tyre, farmers and medly all tomorrow.

Any word yet from that hotel glen? getting a bit late and im thinking of booking, where is everyone else staying?

empty should be 77.5.. i think

not a bad way to do it i suppose. Tactical battle, how small increments can you go up? Wink

So, what kind of cross section are we getting. I know that I am a first timer Novice, I can also see that we have at least one national level competitor...What kind of calibur are the rest of you guys...Am I the only first timer? Do we have some Intermediates? any Open Competitors (though I only know one natural 'open' competitor)?

What about weight split, looks like we are going from around 80kg all the way up!!! Should be a good cross section of people.

Also, are family and supporters welcome to attend? Is there other stuff going on (for kids etc)...?


everyone is welcome to attend, we are still trying to get the kids activities sorted out (it was the last issue, having a kids activity and no kegs for the competitors would have been abit useless Grin )there will be astall with some spectator challenges and food will be available through the kitchen of monster gym

going by t-shirt size theres an even spread going from little squirts in mediums all the way through to the fatty boom booms in XXXL, but then again maybe we just have one of those vain fatty boom booms who likes to squeeze into a medium t-shirt for a friday night Wink

quite a few first timers

going by this thread and all the speculation on who will win maybe I should organise a local bookie to come and have a stall Grin


Glen, Got any plans for a post comp meal? also are there saunas/steam rooms etc availble after the comp?

EDIT: Im interested to see who is wearing the XXXL shirt. I went for an XL, and im a fat c**t. lol. talking of t shirts, of course the main reason we are all doing this comp is for one.. are they nice? Wink

If Will can get his back right, no one will touch him on max log IMO


If he doesnt get his back right... could open up the log and dead?



Dead?? Will HATES axle deadlift lol


Deadlift.

I love axle dead lifts, especially a few inchs higher than conventional. yum yum Grin

Building up to be a decent comp by the looks of things. If i topple a giant and finish top 10 ill go home on the 9 hour bus, very happy. Grin

Aye, was tough mate. Any idea how long we spent on conditioning today, maybe 30mins? Grin


well it was about 6.30 when we did some bench... and near enough 8 when we finished snatching. i only did 4 sets of bench... go figure. at least 20 mins.

Nice session today, feeling nice and recovered after events on Saturday and going to try and keep in a good state and not overtrained for the rest of my UKs prep.

27/7/09

Push Press from Rack- 60/6/6, 100/4, 110/4 PB, 125/2 PB, 135/1 PB The 110 and 125kg PBs were beltless PBs and only put belt on for the 135kg set.

BTN Jerk from Rack- 60/3, 80/3, 100/3, 110/1, 130/1 PB, 140/f First time trying these properly so happy with that result.

Seated BB Press- 60/8, 80/6/6/5

Bench- 60/6, 100/6, 120/4

Cleans- 80/3, 100/3, 110/3, 120/2, 130/f

Finished off with some last man standing snatches, ended up doing a total of 25sets of 3reps a time. Felt good up until the 26th set where I totally lost my tech and couldn't do another rep.


forgot to mention who beat ya? Wink

saying it is light... could be a bit of a touchy subject that lads. its not all about how much u can lift but how u can move with it, on the day there could be some very fast guys who have alot of endurance. it will be very interesting to see how it all finishes. think ben will win it though


Endurance... i did 25 sets of 3 snatch with 70kg tonight with less than a minute rest tonight. just saying Wink

mate im not that good really! ben is the man to beat!


Well you've certainly got the upper hand on me. Grin Ill spike his drinks with some ANTI explode. lol

Anyone know anything about the guys listed that dont post here?


i've heard they all pull over 350kg and press 150kg strict (on a bad day)


yea... but they cant walk more than 5 metres without needing defibbed. Should be able to beat them in the dynamic events.
