First thing on the agenda was Dave Johnson’s official IM Red bar certification – and this he did in fine style. He is very pleased with this and will be added to the IronMind Red Nail list in due course.
At the halftime interval I had a go at a Braced Bend with the 7/8” bar given to me by Stewart Killick. This bar was 48” long x 22.07mm thick, and was a beast, and only got a few millimetres worth of bend. Tough!!
In our final break before the Dinnies we did the Slippery Eel Challenge in a last man standing format. This keeps the event moving fast, and raising it 10k at a time was tough.
Slippery Eel Challenge.

3rd Jim Wylie 79k
3rd Alf Squire 79k
5th Paul Wood 58.4k
5th Dave Johnson 58.4k
Steve Gardener – is looking good, and getting better all the time. Hopefully he will carry on with an onslaught towards next years Champions, after the Brits. Also congratulations on his massive Vulcan credit card close on Lev 16, and he was so close to Lev 17.
Alf Squire – More of a bodybuilder really, with a big Bench Press, he did very well considering he’s never touched any of this stuff, and really just brought Steve up in his car.
Jim Wylie – has been pouring his attention into his mountain biking right now, and is mega fit! But considering again he’s done no grip for ages, he did well. Maybe he’ll fancy having a go at the Brits?
Dave Johnson – his main goal was to cert on the red, and now he fancies a break from bending, and to pursue some fitness, and bodybuilding training. It’ll be a nice change of training for him.
Paul Wood – was a lot more confident and stronger this year, and if he can take my tips on the Pinch lift onboard will do a lot better. He’s put his entrance fee in for the Brits, and I’ve offered for him to come down and train here when he wants.
Elizabeth Horne – all of her training is geared towards the World’s Strongest Woman comp in Poland, so today just saw her take some token lifts. Her grip’s not bad though with a new record Pinch when she hasn’t even touched it this year, but then again 115k Farmers in each hand help the strengthen the hands!
Mitch Johnson – he’s only aged 10, but always enjoys this day. He trains with his dad and if he keeps it all going will be a strong and fit lad. When I asked shall I lower the pole in the pinch lift for him as he had to row it up to touch, he said no it’s fine I’ll row it up. Now that’s quality, no crying about it, he just got on with it. Quality!
After the contest we went for a meal, which is always a favourite part of the day, to have a chat over a meal and a beer. Many thanks for everyone coming and celebrating a special day for me.
