Well I did my competition yesterday, and I have managed to qualify for the British finals and the European championships in 2019, ended the day going 9 for 9(nine attempts with nine successful lifts) and a 152.5kg Squat, a 125kg bench and finally a 195kg deadlift giving me a 472.5kg total for...

Thank you, 120.6 kg five kilos to spare for the 125kg class, just sitting around till tomorrow

will give it a go, weigh in tomorrow morning so hopefully the nerves have helped me shed a few pounds ;)

always nervous before comps, just forgot what they are like, and the effect they have on my sugars.

I have been thinking that, bit slow on the uptake, considering I am nervous for the outcome on Sunday. Glad you are on the case :)

Morning all a very confusing 11.2, now I understand how unpredictable diabetes can be, but come on, I'm watching what I eat (it's on the end of my fork.......I'm here all week folks!!!) religiously test and went to bed on a 4.2 (little low but not gonna hurt me as my readings rise during the...

Morning all on this very cold and wet November morning, with driving rain, oh have I mentioned the cold??:) anyway I was supposed to say what my reading was its 7 better than yesterday. "Winter is here" well it can go away again I don't like it. Take care everyone.

Seriously good luck [emoji256] to you both, enjoy it, it's actually really fun

My readings are up and down for no discernable reason, probably just because they can!! And on a more positive note "Winter is Here" ;)

Thank you

Good morning all, my numbers this morning match the weather, horrible a 14.7, I went to bed on a 4.7! Can some one stop the Train? I want to get off, another day of playing catch the monkey, or putting the genie back in the bottle. Diabetes does nothing other than make us determined. Take care...

Well it sounds like you are ready to go, smash the comp do what you have trained to do and most of all enjoy it! if there is some more experienced competitors there and you talk to them they will pass on knowledge and tips, the strength community is brilliant at helping people out. Really hope...

Thank you

Thank you [emoji16]

Thank you, I had forgotten just what nerves do to you, when I used to do the strongman comps I used to drop around 5kg in body weight prior to competing, all through nerves, you have to learn how to channel it so it doesn't affect your performance. my wife just says that you will do well, so I...

Well last training session before my comp on Sunday so 140kg deadlift 3x3 and 70kg bench press 3x3 and done, its funny how you forget what the nerves can do to you before a competition. especially when you want to do well, just need to relearn how to channel it so that I can do well.

Morning all a disappointing 8.7 on this cold Winters morning, seems the unpredictability train has crashed through the station!! Oh well as the T.V show says "Winter is Coming" .........well it can stay away don't like it.;) take care everyone

Are you using a "dip" in the legs on the Log?? if you drive with the legs it "helps" to remove shoulders out of the press, I always likened it to trying to "throw" the log through the roof. As for the yoke make sure that you tighten the core up before you pick it up, I liken that to "bracing"...

Competed in Strongman a good few years ago, missed out on Britains finals narrowly, too many injuries to mention through lifting heavy. Diabetes complications set in (Eyes, lots of treatment) and am now going into Powerlifting, must be mad, but my belief is diabetes doesn't stop us it just makes...

Morning all a nice 5.3 this morning, now that we have some cold weather coming make sure you all wrap up well, I hate the cold weather now too many years working outside. Take care everyone
