Initially it was in order to shape up slightly to get bigger and shed some fat. Now I care less about the fat and size, and more about the power and strhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3877047Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:09:06 GMTStarted training at about 12, got into a proper gym at 15 1/2 and then started strongman 2 years later. First competition was the week before my 18th birthday.

To be at the level he was is an impressive feat in its self. I think he also had an eye on MMA, where he now plans to stay I think.http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3875703Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:20:11 GMTNorth of England 90kg Strongest Man 2010 Qualifier Venue: West Pelton School, Stanley, Co Durham Date: Saturday 1st May 2010, Start time: 12.30pmhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3875290Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:22:52 GMTBarnard Castle strongest man 2010 Venue: steam show Barnard Castle Date: Monday 31st May 2010 Events:http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3875288Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:20:32 GMTNorth qualifier for England strongest man 2010 Venue: Allendale, Northumberland Date: Saturday 5th June 2010 [font="times newhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3875280Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:13:02 GMTlooks good konker nice work!

Then after that have a week of lower volume and 50% of the weight, then start again. Many ways of doing it. But a simple method is over the weeks increasing the intensity and reducinghttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3874192Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:24:04 GMTFirst powerlifting meet when I was 28.
