First timers comp results

[JP]

[quote="tylerm"]Great videos. Hey JP, I liked your stone lifts, the first two stones you didn't even lap em, just from the ground straight to the platform. You would have had that last stone if your arms were a little lower around it once you had it lapped, it was a great effort!

Nice work, boys, and cool write ups and videos

Makes me want to try one myself one day (on an empty stomach )

Congratulations all of you on the great lifting, no matter where you placed I was thoroughly impressed.

From a spectators point of view all I can say is that I was witness to a very brutal 3 hours of lifting, really nail-biting, where on earth did you find all your strength and energy to keep going so long! Much more interesting than powerlifting comps

[Frostfire]

Nice! I must say good job all around . I love the picture of the five of you, all big & strong, and smiling

[Purrpuss]

Congratulations all, you are all quite quite incredible ! So when ya going for the nationals ?

Now if I can just get past the picture of you all throwing up

[quote="wannalift"]much respect to all you guys for putting in an outstanding effort. my favorite is after Jonathan got the last stone loaded. there should be a separate video of him "walking" away from the area titled "this is what your body looks like after a strongman event".

Nice work gentlemen!

The trick on the punishment survival is to take a couple (or six) ibuprofens before the the meet starts and then start drinking and eating as soon as it ends. There isn't much that can be done about the crushed feeling for the week following other than getting right back after it for some glorious active recovery.

Jon, the stones looked effortless my man. It looked like you barely used your hips to move those buggers onto the barrels. I'm a bit jealous of your long arms on those as well, my little stubs don't come close to being able to hug anything like that. Wow!

JP, the single motion on the first few stones was awesome.

A fine effort all around everyone! Post more videos! They are quite motivating (and frustrating since I just hurt my back this weekend and can't go play with my stones like I want to - erm, that wording seems poor).

Regards,

Sensless

Watching the videos right now!
Looks like an awesome day was had by all!
Real red letter day to having 5 vegans in one strength event, you lot are ace (a bit mad, but ace )

Thanks for all the support/congrats folk

Pretty much back to normal for me (thankfully). Appetite is good again, and don't really feel burnt out or sore anymore. Training re-commences tomorrow night.

Lessons learnt (for me at least) - no solids on the day of comp, but plenty fluids. If at all possible try implements out before hand. Keep blob of tacky on outside elbow/arm. Hmm, sure i had more but can't think just now. Anyone else got any?

Full video (of me, jono, jp, deckerz, krypto) is in post-production and will be finalised tonight. Should be online, though it's too big for you-tube so will need to split or get hosted somewhere else. Some nice soundtracks with it too, which i'm sure you'll all love

Looking forward to seeing that, Buzz. Did you really vomit blood during the comp?

For some reason,kept getting bugs in the full vid. I have it but the pic doesn't show on any of the log lifts for some reason. Could be the size, but don't see why. Deckerz - if you wantyour vids (everything apart from log) I can e-mail them to you, or compile one for you and post it.

Here is mine in the meantime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omlormhXM9s

You guys are all really impressive Makes me feel quite ashamed of my weights, I'm still at the stage where they are a pretty purple colour You are proof of how succesful a vegan diet can be, kudos!
