Pick your goal

It's all too easy to look ahead of one goal. Jim Wendler has some words of wisdom on setting your sights in various places:

"you can’t expect, nor should you expect EVERY single lift to raise. That is something of an anomaly and really, a sign that one’s goals are not realistic. If they all do peak, that is great. But you can’t expect greatness on all 4 lifts. It is no different than the person that is trying to “get cut, but get stronger but not eat but also condition but trying to gain 45 pounds but trying to be a strongman but probably going to do a powerlifting meet but only after I hit that Tough Mudder contest in March.” - Jim Wendler

Pick a goal and go for it. Everything else will take care of itself.

Yoke Session 18th Nov

Vinny's first attempt at the yoke and it was a tough introduction. Marv was fast and powerful. Rich died a little inside on the 2nd run but grit and determination saw him through. For a smaller guy he still nailed 250kg and can only get quicker with this weight.

Scott "The Bear" was injured today but he'll return soon and big things are expected of the big lad.

The road to England's Most Powerful Man 2013 has begun!





Welcome!

We are a group of interesting, good looking and well rounded chaps (well Vinny is the last one)...

This is a log of our road to England's Most Powerful Man 2013 here and hopefully have some fun along the way.

Over time there will be some useful information put up about the sport of Strongman, upcoming competitions, perhaps a forum and official site of some kind but will mainly be a video log of our progress.

Feel free to comment on the videos. Just don't be a cu........

Yeah, you get it.
