Arne Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Scott: Thank You! I'll tell Kalle! After shaking hands with You all competitors I'm afraid that I'm so exhausted in my grip that I can hardly compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bseedot Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hi David. Your PM box is full so... If you wish you can PM me with your response. Matt and I only have a motel reservation in Liverpool for Wednesday and Thursday night. Maybe we could make the trip to Stafford on Friday and relax with you guys a bit in the evening at dinner? How is the motel situation in Stafford? Would we have a difficult time finding a place to stay without a reservation? Thanks and see you soon! BC.

David Horne Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 Brian, I've cleared some room in my PM box now. Anyway, the hotel that most of the guys are staying at is just round the corner, the Albridge, and I'm pretty sure there would be lots of room. But if not there are many more in town. I could reserve the nights that you want to stay if you tell me what you want and how long for. Costs are: Single Guest house £22 Standard £18 Single main building £28.95 Single main standard £22.95 These prices are per night.

David Horne Posted July 25, 2002 Author Share Posted July 25, 2002 9 days to go! How is everyone feeling about it? I've got one more training session to go, and it's really only a practice as such: if I'm not strong enough now I won't be in a weeks time!

mobsterone Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 2 more for me Friday and Tuesday. I'll be in touch if Stan Pike says he can bring one of his thick handled db's (I've asked if he could bring 2...). It'll be something to do AFTER the comp (if we have anything left).

Guest Marso2 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Things could be better .. have just spent the past five days moving house so training has taken a back seat and my back is hammered (as well as my head being up my a*** with the stress of the move) .. but I'll get one more workout in before the comp and then away we go .. can't wait. see you all on the day Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 115-1005574997 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Ian You'll be ok mate. you wont have lost any strength, just make sure you are mentally rested up and focused on the 3rd!!! You’ll do fine mate! Faz Its going to be a great tussle in all 3 categories and the novices will be as tough (in its own way) as the open. There are going to be some huge weights shifted too so be ready to take the pain!! i recon sibling rivalry will be there with you and Waz I cant wait!!! Tomorrow’s my last workout and I'm around Dave’s house to see what i can do and make sure my technique is spot on then a week of saunas and massages Bliss!!!

mobsterone Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 and if I was a rich man instead of a poor one I'd buy me an Inch Replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted July 27, 2002 Author Share Posted July 27, 2002 My last session is done now, and everything has gelled into place. I now just want to duplicate the lifts in a weeks time. Out of the others it is mixed bag, with some doing very well and others not. Jim was unfortunate to have a big wrist curl roll onto his forearms. I hope it's alright today. How's it going for everyone else? See ya very soon, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
