| Avatar not found if I had a hat on I would take it off Member 3343, 1045 posts SQ 330, BP 170, DL 350850.0 kgs @ 141.8kgs Eq | Uk's strongest man 2013 write up.......... jan 1st 2013 I started training for the welsh, on paper I honestly thought I would be in the bottom half of the table but low and behold I grabbed third and qualified for uk's!!.... since then my training has been brutal, I havnt missed a sesh, set or rep.. the worry io had leading up to this comp was immense, sleepless nights, even crying sometimes, the pressure for a comp like this does that to you... anyway, special K picked me up and we trecked it on up to Liverpool, the trip wasn't too bad, the ferry was good, thank god! but only managed about 4-5 hrs sleep... then got to the hotel in Belfast only to find out our rooms wasn't ready, this was just adding to the pressure, and wearing me down!! got the tv links out of the way and after a massive delay, was introduced and ready to start the comp! Day 1... yoke 450/460kg for 20m... not that worried about this event, I knew I would have drops, but I also was very confident id get over the finish line, away I went and yes, had some drops.. but it felt a lot easier than the welsh' yoke, made the 10m turned, things started getting tricky, my hams were on fire, I dropped at around the 17m mark and I left it, which I think was the right thing, because I felt a serious injury coming on in my legs... 5th place... BNP axle 140k stating weight... no chance for me, went out, I actually did a good fast press, but inches away, so I think more tricep power is needed... I needed other guys to no rep, unfortunately only 1 no repped, I was in trouble here!! 0 points, 8th place strongman scrum.. I was the favourite (along with kelv) to win, purely on my rugby background... I honestly don't think rugby background played a part, the machine was an awkward piece of kit, myself and jonny Kelly went on first and I got the win, feet positioning was great, I was even counting 2,3,4 on the hit as you would do in a scrum, then Im not sur if I had a guy in between this, but myself and tom shaw went up, his body weight was way too much, I couldn budge him, lost that.. adam bishop was my next opponent, he took me right to the line, I was almost beaten, but, I fought back, kept screaming and driving and I got him back to his line, one hell of a battle, itl be brilliant for tv... 3rd place stone run... I'am a awesome stone lifter, I love the event, but I bottle it in a comp, my tacky yet again wasn't put on right, and I think it all completely come off after the second stone, the first 2 platforms were stupidly high, I struggled to get the 100kg stone up, went on to the 135kg stone, up it went but that was it, I failed on the fourth... had to hope mark hunter would mess up otherwise im going home!!! the result was given, myself and mark hunter would go through on count back, and, I went through, beat him on yoke, scrum and stones!!!!!! I hit my goal, I was so worried about that day 1, the odds were against me, I knew id only have 3 events, to everyone else' 4 and I did it, no one can take that away from me, I fought to the last second, I was over the moon with this... body was absolutely battered but day 2 was lurking.... day 2 write up to follow...... | ||

| Avatar not found if I had a hat on I would take it off Member 3343, 1045 posts SQ 330, BP 170, DL 350850.0 kgs @ 141.8kgs Eq | day 2... right then, not gonna hold f**k all back on this one, if people don't like it then they can f**k off...!!!! 13 tonne arm over arm truck pull... I knew id be able to do this one, tried it 2 weeks prior, and it went well, technique is all over the place but the strength is there.. I was in the left lane, up first, I pulled and it was ridiculously heavy, didn't give up, almost fainted with the pressure, I stopped just before the line.. johnny Kelly went, got about 6-8 meters, then the golden boy went ed hall, pathetic at around 4 meters, now then, I was 4th at this time, then the fuss was made about it being up hill, I just pulled a f**king 13 ton truck up hill beat 2 of the uks best and they wanted to re-do!!!!!!!!! now this is the part that f**king sucks, I went, did it, nothing said, the uks strongest man goes f**ks it up, everyone starts f**king crying!!! I had no chance of doing any damage the second time round, I was ill from the first pull.. I completed it, f**king last though... 6th place 180kg husafel stone carry im a good carrier, picks the stone up as if its a pebble, got 15m, then back tracked to around 17m.. dropped.. now this wasn't allowed, I had to turn completely around and come back, they didn't state this, so I was given a second chance.. (that's my 4th event so far and I should of only done 2, I was f**ked)... got the stone up easy, im super f**ked off by now, ran to the 15m line, turned and ran back looking at the cameras screaming!!!! dropped at 30m shouting ''u can have your f**king stone'' 2nd place 1 tonne car hold in each hand.. never done it, I was looking at the other guys for tips, went out, my grip is solid, but 2 cars!!!! oh brother!!!! took a grip, thought my arms was gonna get ripped out, but the weight was fine, took 29sec, which easnt enough, a great time for my first go, but not enough for the uk's!!! 6th place.. 200kg,210kg, 220kg power stairs yet again, an event iv neve done, pissing down with rain, myself and adam bishop on first, really stong and explosive guy.. the first run was good, the second I was fatiguing fast, my grip was f**ked plus the rain on the bars didn't help, time went on 220kg second step, I didn't complete it so I failed!!! technically I was out, but, the event was cancelled, so I was still in with a chance the next day... now im a pretty realistic guy, I knew deep down I wasn't going to do it.. but no way in hell was that stairs gonna beat me.. I had no choice, I had to finish it.. after no sleep, body had totally shut down, pride took over, I screamed every rep up, the 220kg stairs were killing me, but I did it, didn't break any world records, but I smashed that f**king stairs and a massive weight was lifted off my shoulders, id completed my uk's strongest man... the hardest thing iv done, mentally and physically.. had that truck pull stayed at it was maybe I wouldv made the final??? who knows, all I know is, I can take on heavy weights and I certainly can play with the big boys!!!!!! im happy, I put the graft in and it payed off... anyone reading this who thinks they cant achieve they'r goals, bulls**t, put the work in, and it will all come to you, im no super man, I like to think i'am but im not, and im no different to the other 15 uk guys, the difference is, we work hard for what we want, we never give up, we break our bodies so bad until we can hardly go on, and then say f**k it, one more go!!!!!!!!!!! thank you to all the guys in the uks, met some really nice decent people.. and thank you to everyone for your support, I will be back, I will be stronger and a little bit wiser!! and il be looking to win!!!!!!!!! | ||
