Muir forgets to mention that every lorry is pulled into the depot on a rope and harness and arm over armed back out. See here's the thing:Goose aside from his obvious natural ability,strength and fitness always struck me as a grafter,anything but lazy,but what is being described to me makes little sense because surely somebody who can train for the Scottish win in 12 weeks and make a British final would put in the extra effort,win the British and qualify for the Worlds. By only training 12 weeks of the year is Goose then not wasting his talent when he could do so much more in his chosen sport? Is he not selling himself short? Surely you mean he trains harder 12 weeks out? Meaning absolutely no disrespect to the big man,he is our best hope for Scottish success nationally,but if what you say is true then you as his coach should be dragging him down to the gym and giving him and us another Scottish Britain's strongest man. | |||

Our comp is not until the 25th of July. We were hoping to be able to give the guys at the comp some information about the UKs 105s and the possibility of a British 105s. No need to do a separate qualifier,we have all the top guys doing our comp. Hopefully we can do this now.It's my understanding the UKs 105s is now on the 1st August? can anyone confirm? Bsm sept,how many places? 3-4? I can fully appreciate the expense involved is a factor but it would really be great to see the top British 105s in Scotland even if it was for only one year out of six. Cheap accommodation,cheap flights, and venue only 10 minutes from airport,no entry fees,maybe not as much as you might think? We have moved on quite a bit since Braveheart and would make you all most welcome. | |||

Can you define hardly trains for 40 weeks? Arnold only did 2 sets of concentration curls 3 weeks out from the Olympia. Bruce Lee could punch you and you'd die 3 years later. I shagged Beyonce last week straight after Kelly Brook. | |||

JohnMarsden said: Does it really matter? Are you having a laugh? Does it matter what weight competitors are at a weight restricted competition? It might matter if you pulled out because you didn't make the weight only to find out later that neither did other competitors. If this is too difficult a concept for people to grasp then i suggest in future that you ditch the scales and just let anyone that looks 105kgs...ish enter. Will pissing and moaning change this years outcome? No. Will discussion maybe improve future events? You would hope so. | |||

Mistakes can and do happen at all levels of competition. I have respect for anyone taking the time and effort to put on a comp.It sounds like the heat,lack of helpers and the running time made some aspects of the comp unpleasant. I don't know enough to be able to comment about the scoring system, perhaps there's an explanation to come. However, the one thing that is entirely inexcusable is the inaccurate weighing in. Above all else there is really only one thing that MUST be strict at a weight restriction competition and that is the weight of the competitors. Meaning absolutely no disrespect to the athletes who by all accounts put in effort and provided a show,I'm sorry, you may have had a competition but it was clearly NOT an UNDER 105s competition. It is an insult to expect people who have trained their guts out all year and have taken all the steps to make the weight to then have to go up against others who may be over weight. I don't understand why there wasn't more of a fuss made? At this years Scottish under 105s the weigh in will be made completely transparent and in full view of all athletes the scales which are electronic will be accurate to one tenth of a kilogram this is why i can confidently say that anyone weighing in at 105.1kg will be not be competing. No body wants to be the bad guy,athletes don't want to be seen to complain about other athletes,and every athlete wants to test themselves against the best,you don't want to see anybody going home because they're over the weight.But, the 105s is not the 105s'ish and without strict measurements the category becomes a joke. | |||

Post Edited: 25.06.2010 @ 19:23 PM by stainless I'm not saying that you shouldn't get insurance or that you wouldn't be better off with it than without it,but i would say that you don't NEED it.Just because a person gets injured doing something does not mean that you will be found responsible and a claim put in against you.Negligence must be proven. If a group of like minded people lift logs,flip tyres and pull trucks on a regular basis and one times gets injured whether it's at training or a comp he doesn't get to sue the guy whose premises or comp it is.The fact he does it on a regular basis is deemed enough evidence that he is familiar with the events and the risks. I can however forsee some problems with a first timers comp,wereby someone could argue that they did not know what they were getting into. As well as getting everyone to sign a disclaimer,you should announce to the crowd that everyone is entering into the comp of their own choice and accept the risks,especially important if you are doing a crowd challenge. With a first timers comp i think it would be a good idea to have someone demonstrate each event beforehand as well. Obviously if you use poor equipement,that is unsafe and has not be tested then you run the risk of comeback if some thing breaks or falls off,but if you take every practicable step to ensure safety it doesn't go that your arse is on the line when something goes wrong. Clearly strongman competitions have a certain degree of risk associated with them,just look at Terry and Jimmy's recent injuries,but that doesn't mean we all have to get insured to run a comp.Every body that takes part accepts a level of risk. Insurance companies have everyone s**tting themselves to do anything for fear of being sued,you don't have to buy into it just take all reasonable precaution and have fun doing what you enjoy doing.This blame culture and nanny state is turning everyone into bust asses scared of their own shadows. | |||

Not tried it myself but some of those single arm kettle bell workouts look pretty demanding,a lot of core and balance work involved,just a thought. | |||
