The grand champion looks absolutely immense, I feel I need to work my arse off just to have a reason to demolish it.
Man of Honour
Of course mate - I'll pick you up from North Greenwich

Mmmm. I'd finish that. Maybe not an hour but I'd finish it.

Good to see all who attended today, can confirm, dead.
Did some deads to warmup up to 160, few rows at 60/80, went outside and stood under a 200kg yoke, nope...so walked with 180 I think? Can't remember...did some pressing with an axle which was deceptively awesome, couldn't do the 70kg log or 60kg keg
Then finished with some atlas stones, ended up doing the 80kg stone three times which I'm happy about
If I hadn't done deadlifts yesterday and felt so knackered I may have been up to a bit more!

Warmed up to 270kg yoke + 330kg yoke lift. 350kg tyre flips, worked up to 80kg log press (starting with axle press), 60kg keg press tried the 90kg but couldn't get it past my chest, 80-120kg atlas stones. Very very broken, but very very happy too!

Definitely gave me a good taste of what's to come in my comps, also dead today, also finished my meaty platter for lunch 
We had a brilliant meet on Saturday! Thanks everyone that came, and thanks to Morba for letting us use the unit. I have thanked him plenty of times already but I can't stress enough how awesome it was to use the unit for the meet.
Started off in the freezing cold doing some yoke runs. We watched the guys who are regulars have a go, making a 400+kg yoke seem like it was nothing, cue us trying and I think we all were a little bit taken back at just how hard it was. Freefaller stole the show though, rocking up with an impressive 270kg effort.
Then on to tyre flipping, and the 350kg tyre was rolled out and many people failed spectacularly. Freefaller again doing a massive 4 flips in a row though to show us how it is done. Fireskull did an epic lift where he walked up without thinking and just flipped it, then when he actually tried to do it, he couldn't, was quite bizarre.
Next we went inside, where it wasn't much warmer and did some log pressing. This was an interesting lift as so many of us are actually quite strong at pressing, but were humbled big time by the log. We worked our way up from a 40kg axle to a 70kg log, and the difference between the two was huge. Mark was on hand to show us how it's done, as well as making it look like it weighs nothing when having a go himself. Keg pressing was another variation and despite being less than the log, fewer people managed it due to the awkwardness of the lift.
Finally it was atlas stones time. We've all seen them on worlds strongest man, and finally we got to try it. 80kg was the starting stone, and we all got to warm up on it without the tacky first. Once we were all tacky'd up (quite possibly the stickiest substance known to man), we gave the next 105kg stone a go with varying levels of success. The regulars were on hand for some motivation and roared Freefaller on to an epic 120kg stone lift.
Once we used Delvis's T-shirt and lots of white spirit to get the tacky off, we headed down to Grill Stock for some much needed food and discussion about the days lifts.
