*** The 2013 Gym Rats Thread ***

I had a great day, absolutely fantastic chatting to Craig and Will on the way there and back, and fantastic day at the comp.

Scott, Dom and Matt all did brilliantly and I'm proud of them all (nohomo), Matt for his first show, or for any show that matter did superbly.

A funny moment was seeing Dom shout like a mad man and scare most of the crowd, to then go and sit down calmly reading through New Scientist shortly after :D

Well done guys, I'll email you all the videos if you want?
 
Congrats Ice :)

Must admit I expected you to murder Lie for squats so seeing 200 failed twice was a bit of a WTF moment. Glad it was form rather than another injury though and happy you got a PB even if it wasn't as big a PB as you had hoped for.
 
Cheers for the photos/vids FF, I'll look through them all tomorrow :)

Asked Steeds for all kinds of arm work. Predicting adding 2" in a week.

Thanks bud.

It's a good point to focus on. I've seen a guy make similar mistakes with timing and end up in A&E because he rushed onto the platform. Being injury free going into a new block of training feels like something I've never experience before :p

I think you're being too hard on yourself ice... you're still lifting poundage that would crush me lol ;)

Just put it down to one of those days, I'm sure you've learnt something from it.

That's exactly it, I've learnt a lot from today. I'll certainly never end up in the same situation again.

However, I think I'm being an appropriate amount of harsh on myself :D

Thanks though!


Right, anabolic sleep time.
 
Sorry to hear that, ice, but look forward to great success as you start the next
Have without injury! :)

Even if LiE is now officially (according to UKPF or whatever) stronger than you! :D ;)

Well done to you all, and kudos to your band of supporters, too! Thanks for representing, Delvis, Freefaller, and Steedie.
 
I have to say I've been to numerous bodybuilding shows, and this trumped them in every way. No arrogance, no arrogant postulating, no feather spreading. Everyone was supporting one another, cheering and everyone was chipping in to help.

Also, to me, it's FAR more impressive - strength/power of some of these people were just intoxicating to watch. Don't get me wrong, the prep work that goes into BB to get into condition is no easy feat, as well as the determination and diet necessary to build those muscle (I'm talking in the natural world). However, I'm afraid to me it has NOTHING on this sort of performance.
 
Awesome effort from everyone.

Ice, glad to see that your lift performance wasnt down to picking up, or reaggrevating another injury, as you said it just didnt come together on the day, but still mega impressive all the same, and comp PB's all round :). Roll on next comp.

LiE, beast, just crazy, cant wait to see the vids, and read your write up.

Dom, as above cant wait to read your write up.

FF, Steedie, Delvis, bunch of lads, thanks for the updates, thanks for the pics, and looking forward to the vids as well! I would have loved to have come along and spectate. Maybe next time :)
