CRAP My gym wouldn't buy me a shake I may end up using some 2" steel tube to make an axle..money too tight to but a real one

Yeah they're pretty good. Setting up a powerlifting and strongman club and they're going to buy us a Texas Power Bar aswell!

Quite a good session today, missed the 130 press out the rack for a third week in a row so going to start some reps after the comp and alternate clean and press and the rack pressing every second week.

I train in Aberdeen when Im home from Uni in the summer, but Uni is in Glasgow.

Your squat and deads are awesome.. whats going on with your benching doyou think mate? Just have naturally strong legs?

I dont train bench since I dont need it in strongman, I use it as an assistance exercise after push/ rack pressing, strict pressing shrugs etc.

Thats why it is lower in comparison to the other two.

You wont look like a f*cking TRex if you eat like Stuart Little

Fair do's mate, are your shoulder press/military sh1t in line with your leg\back training then?

Sorry, doest read right, I just meant, are they in line with the strength of your back and leg movements? And from the above I'd say they were

BSB, is it just this year you moved down to Glasgo for uni then?

Training is looking pretty good mate, you got many comps set up for this year?

I moved down in September 06, in 2nd year now.

So far Ive got the SSM Qualifier a week Saturday and then Scotlands Strongest Team in May and maybe the Northern Isles in Summer too.
