Well,I believe that it is Narc's first strongman competition upon the 27th of May so I thought that we should wish him luck in the Bexhill U105kg British qualifier.

Lol, to be perfectly honest mate, that is about the best I can hope for, lol.
Bexhill is near Brighton. Comp is being held on Oli Thompson's (Britain's Strongest Man) Dad's farm.
Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

Good luck mate
ps I'm not injured
Good luck Timbo. Get some vids up and make us all jealous. :038:
I'll try and get pics and vids, but unfortunately it is 50/50 as to whether my training partner will be coming now so if I'm on my Jack Jones it's going to be hard to get vids and compete at the same time, though it probably wouldn't effect my final position much, lol.
I actually wasn't going to tell anyone about this until afterwards because the likelihood is I will not fair too well at all and everyone's good luck wishes will be wasted, but I'll do my best. As I was saying to Will the other day, whether I come second or last, the only people that will be beat me will be better athletes, and there's no shame in that, so as long as I put in a half decent performance I'll be happy, even if it means not managing an event or two. It is after all a bit of a baptism of fire for a first comp to say the least!
Though not literally unless you really want to join the cripples here. Good luck man. What are the events? Where are you hoping to place?
Only just saw this.
The events are..
120kg (plate weight) viking press for max reps in 75 seconds
Car deadlift for max reps in 75 seconds
400kg Tyre flip for max reps in 75 seconds
Wheel barrow and duck walk medley
Stones - first to stupid high platform, next two to 54", final two to 48" 110-160kg
I have at various points been convinced I will not get a single rep on anything, lol.
Viking will depend on the weight of the frame and a few variables from equipment to equipment, best I have done is 100kg plate weight (130kg total weight) for 2 reps on Al's wobbly viking. So who knows whether I'll get any on this or not.
Car DL, god knows what it will weigh in the hands, doubtless be quite alot though, we shall see I guess...
Tyre, well, I rule at the tyre, the one I train on is 440kg and it's my bitch, but I've heard stories about this one being a bastard as it's real wide and you can't get your head on top when your hands are underneath.
Medley, dunno the weigts.
Stones, until my last session I'd never done more than 110kg to 48". I know I can get reaosnably heavy stones to that height now, but I suck at our high (55") platform, so I could be ****ed on this right form the start.
As for where I hope to place, like I said I really don't care, but in all fairness I'm not really at this level yet, and the only other athletes I know are competing will destroy me...
Course, top three athletes go through to the England and Wales Final, so if only two others turn up... :)
at least the balls are there mate, regardless where you place, its the pride i'd compete for. good luck all the same, any caff or eph allowed?
Why don't you take that point in your own case and sign up for the ****ing Cully then, lol.
Theodore Roosevelt said it best..
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Oh, and it's strongman mate, in all likelihood you could probably compete with a ****ing anapolon drip hanging off your ass if you so wished...
haha you know my reasons, didnt realise strongman was like that, so at pro level is juice as wide eyed as it is in bb and pl??
liar!! hes always moaning about his elbows
My elbows are in tip-top shape.
Good luck Timmeh.
Fooking hell, thats gonna be some beasty weights moved, impressive stuff, especially for your first comp :023: Who gives a bollocks if you finish last, at least your doing it which is more than most folk
haha you know my reasons, didnt realise strongman was like that, so at pro level is juice as wide eyed as it is in bb and pl??
Just about everyone's on at the top level I imagine, many are on at the lower levels, though there are plenty of very impressive guys who I am 99.9% sure are lifetime clean
Thanks guys!

Jesus mother****er, looks like some tough lifts. As has been said tho, no shame in making the effort to give it a go, no shame at all.
Course, top three athletes go through to the England and Wales Final, so if only two others turn up... :)
...and if that doesn't define sheer bloody minded optimism, I don't know what does :046:

Don't think he is anymore, no.
