I've got a driving lesson, but hopefully that means I'll get to some comps next year.

We also trained on One Hand Deadlifts with a 2” bar, and an Olympic bar. Also Pinch lifting and Baby Inch work. We had a break for soup, and watched Britain’s Strongest Man comp from 1980.
It was a great day, really enjoyed it. Nice to see Stewart again and he will only get stronger every time we meet. He’s a big guy with a very strong upper back (think he rows with 180k or so), and I expect another battle with him soon. I was pleased that my finger stood up to today, as this is the most grip work I’ve done since I injured it.

I had a great day, the steel came out at 20.45mm and seemed a little harder than the stuff we used at the Champion of steel comp which makes David's 40" bend even more impressive.
I was a little disapointed with my performance but will train harder now to ensure next time I will be able to Push David a bit harder and try to get my record back although David is so competative its going to be very hard to wrestle it back from him.

Stew,
You are still a novice at this game, and will improve massively in the future. I look forward to our next challenge.
Tell you what, all of my back is sore, in fact everything is sore. Takes a lot out of you that thick bar bending. I watched the video today, and noticed when I nearly threw up whilst bending the 40" bar.
Tough day!
So what pair want to be in the next -
There Can Be Only One II
