Strongman

[LWStrong]

I want a comp to set my sights on, preferably in the South West. u90kg would be ideal, failing that, just light enough for me to compete. Anyone know of any good ones that will be happening next year?

[Narc]

Yes.

[chi]

You'll probably want to do the UK u90s southern qualifier based onthe criteria stated

[LWStrong]

Timmy- You're a ****! Also, will you be keen for some u90kg action next year you skinny bitch?

chi- Maybe, less 'important' comps would be good also, I know for a fact that I'd be no where near the standard to compete in the southern quals now.

[Dave284]

First ever bombout in a strongman comp

[LWStrong]

Boom! :)

[Dave284]

I'd do one too but I could never cut to 90kg in time

[LWStrong]

Cheers timmy. Hopefully they run an u90kg comp (or comp light enough for me to enter..... unlikely) next year. Would be sweet.

[Dave284]

You'll have to stop popping DBOL like sweeties for that one

[LWStrong]

Shhhhh, shut the **** up Dave!

I've been clean for over 10 years! Stopped the tren when I was 9!

Dick.

[Dave284]

Stanazol ftw

[Kendrick]

I've put my name down for the novice u90's on the 1st of May, hopefully there is still space. If not I don't have a problem competing on the 8th in the "Yorkshire's u90", it's slightly heavier, but shouldn't be too much of a problem if I had to do it.

[LWStrong]

Scratch that, i'd have to do the yorkshires strongest u90 on the 8th due to the fact that I have competed before. No biggie, good if anything, gives me something to aim for. Not looking forward to car walk though/fingals though.... How the **** can I train for that in a gym with no strongman equipment...?

[Narc]

By getting stronger - the need for specific events training is, in my opinion, vastly over-emphasized.

[Vinny]

Dude how wrong can you be!

Think you're forgetting we had the luxury of training strongman every week and so pretty much nailed the various tech's which is now ingrained in us.

Paul lets get xmas out the way, and if you can jump on the train to Honiton I'll give you a lift to Phil's in Chard every three weeks or so.

[Narc]

Tech got nailed after one or two sessions. I never got any better after that, just injured and over-trained. The only way I improved thereafter was by getting stronger generally, which is far easier achieved in a gym.

[Jamin]

after that, just injured and over-trained. The only way I improved thereafter was by getting stronger generally, which is far easier achieved in a gym.

Says the man with all the injurys which means he can now only bench but with bads wrists of course :angel:

[LWStrong]

Vinny- Sounds good mate. I'm definatley up for that. Getting to Honiton wouldn't be a problem.

Timmy- Shut up you bitch.

New strongman info'z nd that;

Mark Clegg is running an u80kg (thats right.. 80kg) strongman comp in summer 2011. So if i'm still around that weight then i'll be keen for sure, he always runs badass comps.

Looks like I might be in for 3/4 comps next year... awesome... better focus on not being so shit.

[LWStrong]

Mark Clegg has just posted the events for the u80kg comp next summer. Really looking forward to this one, got to put some serious training in.

Events - Subject to change.

Event 1 - Frame Carry 220kg for distance drop and turn @ 15 metres.

[Vinny]

Dude,

I'm having a word with the guy who is running the U105 BSM southern qualifier tomorrow. The comp is in March so if I get a place we'll have to arrange a few trips to Chard.

[ATZ]

That looks like a good comp Paul. Best of luck.

[TAT 70]

Dude,

I'm having a word with the guy who is running the U105 BSM southern qualifier tomorrow. The comp is in March so if I get a place we'll have to arrange a few trips to Chard.

Good luck to you Vinster.
Your looking very strong at the mo :038:

[LWStrong]

Cheers guys.

Hope you can get a place Vinny, would love to have a few trips out to get to grips with some equipment.

[Vinny]

All confirmed. My events are

1.140kg farmers walk for 25m
2.120kg log for reps in 75secs (floor to overhead)
3.340kg yoke for 25m
4.250kg deadlift for reps in 75sec (straps allowed)
5.Axle Press for maximum weight (floor to overhead)
6.Atlas stones 110kg,120kg,130kg,140kg,150kg


Is it me or has the weight in comps gone up a lot in a couple of years. The weights in your U80 comp look ****in heavy as too!

[LWStrong]

Weights are going up and up, that can only be a good thing though, the standard is getting much better.

Your comp looks pretty badass (events look fairly good for you), looking forward to getting stuck in to training now.

[Will S]

standard of the 105s last season was very high and next season will be even moreso. my dad and I will be doing the scoring at the southern qual so ill see you there vin! (bribes should be passed in an unmarked brown paper envelope btw).

[ATZ]

All confirmed. My events are

1.140kg farmers walk for 25m
2.120kg log for reps in 75secs (floor to overhead)
3.340kg yoke for 25m
4.250kg deadlift for reps in 75sec (straps allowed)
5.Axle Press for maximum weight (floor to overhead)
6.Atlas stones 110kg,120kg,130kg,140kg,150kg


Is it me or has the weight in comps gone up a lot in a couple of years. The weights in your U80 comp look ****in heavy as too!

140kg per hand? Christ, that's prett heavy.

Log looks tough too.

And 250kg for reps?

Plus, how come there are two overhead events? Surely that's overkill.

[Dave284]

That looks really ****ing heavy. What are you hoping to get on the log/dead/axel?

[LWStrong]

ATZ- Two overhead events in strongman is pretty standard fare to be honest mate.

Dave- Yeah, Vinnys u105 comp does look retard heavy, will be a good one to watch.

[Vinny]

I don't really know until I get a proper play with some equipment.

At the moment I'd say 5 reps on the log, 8-10 reps on the DL (just found out suits are aloud... which is gay, but I'd be a fool not to wear one), 140+ on the axle.

I've done 140 per hand in the past with out that much of a problem Aled.

I'm most nervous of the yoke... that's seriously heavy!

Look forward to the catch up Will.

[Dave284]

Do you have a deadlift suit? You can hitch **** out of it too?

[LWStrong]

I'm also most nervous of the yoke in my comp Vinny... I ****ing hate the bastard thing!

[Vinny]

and I am the master of the hitch!

Yeah yoke's suck!!

Paul first training sesh will be 8th Jan, you'll have to get the 8:30 train to Honiton and we'll get you back on the 2:16

[Dave284]

Where is this gayness occuring?

[LWStrong]

Awesome, sounds good to me Vinny.

[Vinny]

Chard.. tis a shit hole!

[Dave284]

That were the comp is? When is it? I wanna try snatch the empty log and fall over backwards :038::038::038::038::038:

[LWStrong]

Hahahahahahaha. Excellent mental image.

Looking forward to getting stuck in to some specific event training now.

[LWStrong]

Looks like I'm definatley doing this comp now aswell... cool. Looks good.

All details are on sugden mate. Do it.

[ATZ]

Well I'd have to lose 7kg between now and then, do you just need to weigh in on the morning of the event?

[LWStrong]

Morning weigh in yes.

But.... why not just get bigger and do 105's....?

[ATZ]

Well the 105's are all savage strong from Reading elsewhere, the events are likely to be beyond me too.

[LWStrong]

Have a look on sugden mate... the novie 105 doesn't look too bad;
