View Full Version : IC Meet end of Jan ish?????
Right, winter meet never happened, as most of us were weak/injured and generally apathetic, and no-one actually bothered to try and organise anything. So I'm starting this thread nice and early to see if enough people are up for getting a date and venue set for a summer meet....
at this early stage i'll say yay..............while retaining the right to back out if you decide to hold it in exeter or somewhere equally gay
Lol, Exeter is too hardcore for you lot. Probably Birmingham or London unless someone thinks of anywhere better

Will it be a lifting meet? Or just generally getting drunk meet?
van_halen
20-02-2007, 16:16
Both
Good Idea old man! We could bring the stone!
I'd vote for Brum again. Was a decent lifting venue where we were last time and plenty of scope for boozing afterwards. Plus its the halfway house for most?

20-02-2007, 16:23
Okay, potentially interested but depends on what I'm doing, where it'll be etc.
van_halen
20-02-2007, 16:24
Sounds good to me. Always wanted to go out in Bham
What exactly is supposed to be happening at the lifting part? Seems to me there are very few people with similar goals on this board which would more or less mean that its just a load of people doing their usual workout, just in the same gym.
Aye, twas easier when everyone was a powerlifter. In the interests of having everyone doing basically the same thing, I was thinking run it like a PL meet, with a rising bar on sq/bp/dl, people who want to do oly sq's can, and maybe the non benchers can push press or something. Then if Tim and I bring the rock and a barrell we can all play with that, I dunno, somewhat depends who's coming and what they want to do, but I'm sure we can work something out, most people train at least two of the powerlifts in some capacity, I do agree it's a bit shit if everyone is doing totally different stuff

EDIT: Actually, we'd all end up going to bed at 5 PM if that happened, you tend to end up pretty spaced out..
Judging by my performance on the sled sprints last time, I'd probably just vomit a quarter of the way into it...

Right..
Birmingham
Collisuem gym again
Saturday August 18th?
i was just talking about the summer meet - well timed post Narc. I'll put the date in the diary and start negotitions with Mrs Chi
Too far away imo, june/july then we can get a winter get together organised too.
I thought someone would say that. Was purely for selfish reasons that I chose that date, as there are a million and one Strongman comps I may or may not do all around the June/July time, and I'm probably going to be dieting around May/june. Ok **** it, July 7th then

the last gym we went to was good, birmingham had some decent places to eat and there was a decent nightlife there.

If so this time I am leaving my cash and card back at the hotel. And I need a later train home, last time was just wrong.
Maybe I'll drive this time and not drink, just for my safety :044:
Anyway, aint no mountain high enough, aint no river long enough, or somethingggggg, doo doo dooooooooooo yes i'll be thereeeeeeeeeee.
wales We should all go to Cardiff and Phil can show us the sites. In Birmingham he told me that it is full of dirty slags and that he is a "one man gang". PMSL good times.

21-03-2007, 19:39
Madcap you boring bastard, we've been to Birmingham!
Also, it's abundantly clear that shit never happens/gets organized unless someone takes charge, so I'm taking charge, lol.
Layout of events will be...
Squat - any style you like. Rising bar, I.E. we'll all warm up, then start at Xkg and you can go when it's at the weight you want, then it'll all be stripped off for second attempts and so on till everyone's hit thier 1rm. Any equipment or lack of you wish.
Bench - as above
DL - as above
Oly bar overhead - any style again, strict, push press, jerk, whatever.
Squat till you drop - no no no squat, no suit, no belt, no wraps. Totally raw and as deep as you can. As many reps as possible with 100kg, or 70% of IRM if you're a particularly weak fanny, or a particularly strong one.
Then people can choose which of that lot they want to do, or be a man and do all of it. Could possibly be room for one more event if anyone has any genius ideas. I expect this to run like a well oiled machine so shouldn't take all day.
Bullneck Pacifist Gimboid
21-03-2007, 19:54
Yep I'm in, voted Cardiff.
Madcap you boring bastard, we've been to Birmingham!
and I've been to cardiff...didn't like it much. Plus, Birmingham was fun and it's closer to me and that gym was really cool
Two other things.
This will not be a competition, everyone has different goals, styles, experience etc. It's just an opportunity to meet up, lift some heavy weights and have a laugh. Then go out and eat/drink excessively. No-one gives a shit if you're not very strong yet/atm, the only thing that's important is effort. And banter.
I will be filming everything, EVERYTHING. There will be no missed out bits this time, everyone's lifts will be filmed and put on the video, which will actually be produced and uploaded this time because I'll be doing it not Phil. And I plan on making a good one too.

Dammit! Can we replace 'effort' with 'abs'?
A Third point. I think it was a bit shit how we all sort of split into factions doing different things last time, and the weaker guys missing lifts becasue someone had loaded the wieght on the bar already. I want to see a ****ing massive group of people huddled round the squat rack all cheering on whoever's in there lifting, and for everyone to know what's going on rather than several groups of three people in seperate corners of the gym taking an hour to get through three squat singles or whatever and having no clue what everyone else is doing.
birmingham, cardiff is frickin miles from norfolk
It's not THAT much farther. Besides as we're doing it on a Saturday we might be able to find a gym that's open till 6 or 8 or something and not have to start until 2ish. Or stay over on friday night, I'll probably stay over on Saturday if enough people are. Or you could just man up and ****ing get on with it, I'm getting up at 4am for my Folkestone trip.

How's about walking lunges for distance!?! Lol! I want to see someone (possibly me) pass-out/puke! lol!
Oh and I'll give £30 to anyone who can get the "pain stone" out of the back of my car and lift it overhead in the cap-park!
Those both sound like excellent plans actually!

Is that the rock you were trying to get me to lift the other day in your driveway? If so then it's twice the size of my torso lmao, can't see anyone getting it overhead easily
Me either. I don't reckon it's far off 100kg, and a very awkward shape. Bear in mind that the first stone for that event at WSM 06 weighed 103kg, and several failed to lift it.

Pussies!
I just voted cardiff, I was really torn between the two as Brum was awesome last time and very easy to get to in terms of transport. However Cardiff has a few things in its favour for me:
1. I know it well, can guide you pussies to some decent drinking estabilshments
2. I can crash for free at a mates place
3. The drive down from N.Wales is muchos fun
4. It is actually a v.good night out, valleys girls know how to have fun......
My only reservation is finding a gym vaguely as good as that one in Brum, I know it was small but it had a rack and two mono's ffs! Also the owner was some meathead molded out of stone who once held british record for Squat and Deadlift!
Bullneck Pacifist Gimboid
22-03-2007, 12:30
Wouldn't we only need one rack if we go with Tim's idea of all of us egging on the one person doing the lift with a rising bar...? But yeah have to say a meathead ex-record holder would be damn good motivation :D
CheeseOnToast
22-03-2007, 18:52
I'll ask around if it ends up in Cardiff - I have to make sure I don't shag anyone (male or female or Mark) as my missus may find out or catch me if it's that close to home.
And with Aled I will guide thee into the slags.
That vid will be done as soon as I find the tape.. I am hoping to find it sometime as it has a home made sex vid at the beginning which I would rather isn't like found by family. :023:

those needing to book hotel rooms, stick your hands up, so we can sort out room sharing.
People I don't want to share with:

October suits me better than September. Might be going over to Holland again. And no; it's not for hookers.
This meet should be top notch. I hope Phil can make it. I want all the lads to get pissed up with us.

Count me in for this one, my boss is taking 3 weeks off from 9th August to 2nd September, so I get to have a week end of July, and then a week in Sept / October. I'm sure I can arrange it to fit around this :)
Plus, by the time that rolls round, I should be on course for a couple of PB's, which will be nice. :D
p.s. explosm.net is so 2006... ;)
I should be good for this, hopefully. October is prob better for me.
If you guys ever do one in london, then count me in! I'm sure this wont go down as planned anyway.
Now does anyone remember Mart from Afs making internet threats to show up at the last meet to cause trouble....haha now that was ****ing hilarious!!
I'll need to look at the rugby games scheduled and get back to you. I can't be missing a game to see you homo's.....

Lol i remember that, he was gonna flex his 17" arms at someone, was it phil or tim i can't remember. That lad had serious inferiority issues, probably cos he was only 3 1/2' tall or there abouts i also heard his wife sucks cock for rock :046: so that could be the catylist.
This meet is potentially looking like a real good turn out and group, i am definatly gonna try and make it.

...at least you lot never got any PM's from him asking for threads to be edited / deleted / closed, because he'd started a fight and then got his ass handed to him on a plate...lol
LOL !!!
I can imagine that, he ended up getting cyber battered by everybody.
Always ended with him giving the 'I'm bigger than you are' argument cos' he'd run out of things to say.
Don't forget his so called 10% bf ....

I can do weekends commencing the 15th and 29th in September and the weekends of the 6th and 27th in October.
out of those dates, the 15th is the only good one for me
^^^ Yes, get on with it. Let's actually get this sorted now. I have a nice gap from early august to late october with no comps etc and I want a nice meet to look forward to...
i don't have my own internet so my time on here is limited, what needs doing?
well if you bellends arrange it i'll make sure i keep it free so whatever date i can attend really
Cap, come up with a date that everyone can make, ring Lee Marshall at Collisseum gym and check that date's ok with him and we can do it like we did last year, then badger everyone to book hotels.

i cant make 20th of october ;) yeah whatever should be good just decide and i will make it if im free (although there is a chance i have a wedding to snap one saturday in oct im not sure when yet. who gets married in october anyway? i did it in summer)
make a poll then u bellend!!
personally id prefer it to be in september but then again im working on the 22nd but hopefully can get it off!!
Aye, twas easier when everyone was a powerlifter. In the interests of having everyone doing basically the same thing, I was thinking run it like a PL meet, with a rising bar on sq/bp/dl, people who want to do oly sq's can, and maybe the non benchers can push press or something. Then if Tim and I bring the rock and a barrell we can all play with that, I dunno, somewhat depends who's coming and what they want to do, but I'm sure we can work something out, most people train at least two of the powerlifts in some capacity, I do agree it's a bit shit if everyone is doing totally different stuff
and is this still the plan, a PL meet?
i'm up for it, just means i need to change my training so i want to know!
got my inzer 13mm forever belt today too so can't wait to make use of it :038:
Also, it's abundantly clear that shit never happens/gets organized unless someone takes charge, so I'm taking charge, lol.
Layout of events will be...
Squat - any style you like. Rising bar, I.E. we'll all warm up, then start at Xkg and you can go when it's at the weight you want, then it'll all be stripped off for second attempts and so on till everyone's hit thier 1rm. Any equipment or lack of you wish.
Bench - as above
DL - as above
Oly bar overhead - any style again, strict, push press, jerk, whatever.
Squat till you drop - no no no squat, no suit, no belt, no wraps. Totally raw and as deep as you can. As many reps as possible with 100kg, or 70% of IRM if you're a particularly weak fanny, or a particularly strong one.
Then people can choose which of that lot they want to do, or be a man and do all of it. Could possibly be room for one more event if anyone has any genius ideas. I expect this to run like a well oiled machine so shouldn't take all day.
oops just seen this, still the plan?
make a poll then u bellend!!
personally id prefer it to be in september but then again im working on the 22nd but hopefully can get it off!!
i can't make a poll on this thread dicklord!!!1
how much was your belt?
too much!
and make a new thread dicklord
No, I don't want another poll. Set a date. They will come.
this is bullshit, how hard is it to click on a date? THERE ARE ONLY 2 OPTIONS FFS!!!!!!!31223124~~~~##][=-=0K[[
know your fixture list yet?
Both dates out for me, games on them unfortunately. Sept 29th, Oct 6th, Oct 27th are open. Otherwise I won't be attending sorry guys. No great loss I know!
If you ever do one in one hour travelling distance to leeds i would be up for it, i don't drive and i don't fancy catching more than one train especially with piss up after :046:

Im sure people will be stopping over in a nice cheap hotel room, so you go back on sunday am, honestly the meets are really a good laugh and great time i do enjoy them and it is worth the hassle of getting there for the crack you will have
Oct 20th it is then.

I'll be in, I'd rather it's September, or if not just not Oct 20th, as it would mean I have to use 2 days annual leave, which I couldn't guarantee!
I will be there though, I wonder if they'll let me back into Brum after last time? lol - I just don't want to spend £250 on 13 hours of drinking and strippers again... or share a room with Mark! haha
Pick - we had a London meet before, ages ago, that too was a good night lol.
I'm not bothered about lifting really at this meet, i'm still injured from last year, im weak and small and fat so drinking and being a **** is about all I'm good for.

Suppose id better get some training in, although my drinking 1rm has gone up a lot since last year so i can probably set a pb on that

21-08-2007, 18:28
Also who is defiantly coming to this and who wants hotels, i am gonna start looking for a cheap deal like last time as i think i will be stopping over and using the train again.
I'm def coming, and staying. We should go to the Norfolk hotel this time like those other ****s did, only £25 a single room iirc.
BengDogg
21-08-2007, 18:40
yeah that hotel sounded good but the one we stopped in was in walking/staggering distance of broad street iir. £25 fora single room is good though
