Been water loading this week (only due to a work meal the night before weigh in so need to be safe)

Monday Evening weight 104.9
Wednesday Morning weight 108 - Evening weight 110
Thursday Morning weight 107 - Evening Weight 108
Did 30 minutes stretching Thursday night too, been feeling tighter than normal (which is bloody tight) even though I've been doing far less training recently.

Friday Morning weight 104 good, can eat normally today, go steady on the meal
tonight, then still comfortably make weight after an hour in a hot bath.

Sleep has been ok this week, managed 6 hours each night (would love more, but there's not enough hours in the day). Just need to make weight tomorrow, then give it my all Sunday.

Finally won my first competition.
Manimal monster u105kg at rotherham.

24hr weigh inMade weight ok, but had a s**t re feed and just bloated up. Ended up and 110 by start of comp but no idea how as only ate half what i was aiming for. Had a bag full.of nerves for this comp as the missus invited all her family so pressure was on.

Event 1. 120 fingels finger 75 seconds.
Had a nightmare the finger kept bouncing of the tyre to the side. Only managed 4, winner got 6. Think i came 7th.

2. 220kg frame.
30m (with a turn) in 16.06 was half a second behind the winner slow pick up cost me time. 2nd

3. 300kg yoke.
30m drop and turn. Roughly 19 seconds. 1st place.

4. 180kg conans wheel.
3.5 turns. Did 2 in training last week easy, but legs were already going after 1 today. Blacked out but new i ahd to give it everything as some.lads were better at stones than me. 1st

5. 90, 110, 120, 140, 150 stones.
Was worried about the 1st one as its nearly 6ft high. Went up easier than expected. Jelly legs kicked in on last 2 but got them all up in 31 seconds. 2nd or 3rd.

Came 1st overall, my first trophy, my first win. Felt great.
