Mikael Siversson Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Congratulation to David for winning the competition and to Nick and Steve for their top placings. As I stated on the Aussiestrength website, I thought Nick was the most underrated of the competitors based on that poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Big Steve did some amazing things whilst lifts were being set up such as one handed card tear,Rolling a frying pan up,bending a horseshoe amongst toher things ← Hmm, does not sound like the best way to conserve your strength for the events.

Jedd Johnson Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Congrats, you guys. Awesome jobs with the new records on the pinch, David, and the v-bar, Jim. Nice placing Nick, and Steve. Can't wait for next year. I echo Rich and Smitty. Oh to have Robbie back in another showdown with the Big Show Shane Larson, Dave Thornton, David Horne, Wylie, Big Steve, Clay. Uneblievable. Great job everyone. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Thank you guys! My most pleasing win over my 20 years of competing, had to dig deep inside! As Nick echoed last night this was just one of those great Physical Culture weekends. It's about 7am now, and I've just got up, I think we left the drinking at the hotel 5 hours ago. Hell, I don't even drink but had a few last night and boy did they taste good. Anyway, Elizabeth is still asleep, and it's her computer that the excel spreadsheet is on, so I'll post all the full results and records later. 1st Me 569 pts 2nd Nick McKinless 557 pts lifted amazingly, and just never gives up. He is the 'pit bull terrier' of the grip world. 3rd Big Steve McGranahan 537 pts is a great guy and very strong, and more importantly came over and put it on the line. His feats of strength are out of this world and believe me impressed me. 4th Steve Gardener 513 pts was at his best ever, really! Just check the results when they come. 5th Frank Henritzi 472 pts Great strength and determination shown. Very nice person. 6th Jim Wylie 466 pts With out the injury he would have been in the top 4. 7th Marc Wylie 453 pts Pr's and great wrapping on the lever event..ouch! 8th Richard Scott 419 pts Pr's and the best I've seen him lift on the platform. 9th Andrew Christie 416 pts For someone so light he does wonders. Bet he's tired now as he drove home a few hundred miles after the comp. 10th Dave Johnson 392 pts Very pleased with performance despite bleeding from the start. Very quickly highlights/records. Two Hands Pinch new WR 107.2k. I nearly got 109.5k. I actually held the World record on the v bar for about 4 mins getting 164.3k, before Jim took it rightfully back with about 174k (exact numbers to follow). Steve Gardener closing an elite rated at 3.54, onto the very thin weighted (1 1/4k) shoelace and held that for 10 secs! Everything will follow later. One last thing is a massive thanks to my lovely pregnant (and very tired now)girlfriend Elizabeth Talbot (scorekeeper/referee) and Magnus Langton (m.c.) who never stopped working all day. Also all the generous sponsors. And to the very tired/sore loaders Oliver (my son) and Michael. Without all the competitors and helpers the contest could not happen. See you all in 4 years, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florian Kellersmann Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 Congratulations, David! Awesome, that you did all these great lifts with your injury. Congrats to the other guys too, of course. Awesome to see Nick before Big Steve and Mobster, who are very very strong too. Also congrats to my buddy Franky for his good placing and his PRs. As expected, Jim was the best on the v-bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpf Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Absolutely amazing day , where did all the time go! So much weight lifted by so many and such strong and solid performances. Everyone was putting so much effort in it was inspiring to watch. Top that off with the WR records, WR attempts and Big Steve doing displays in the intervals between events Such a great event, well organised and delivered with star performances by all! One other thing to note was the number of spectators for this sport, hopefully this will have inspired more interest. I look forward to reading through the results later as the spectacle was awe inspiring. Well done to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Safely back!!! What a 3 days blast in england. Theres so much to remember, can't write it down all. First of all big kudos to David who won the comp suffering indredible pain during the vbar and especially in the levering event. My girl was asking me more than once why in hell he is doing that to himself. As expected he got the new WR in the pinch and failed (twice) only by a few cms on 109+ kg. Next to mention is Nick who could hold the comp open til the last event but David did exceptional good in the grippers event lefty so Nick had no chance then. Very well done Nick, next time we'll know what to expect from you. We had a big time at the after comp party(s). 3rd Big Steve. What a nice guy. Entertained all the spectators (and competitors) between the events with card tearing (2-handed and 1-handed using his teeth), bending nails and pennies in his mouse, bending 3/8" bars using reverse style and so on and so on. At the after comp party he showed his tremendous bending strength and blew away some big wrenches. Steve 'Mobster' Gardener got 4th and had an excellent contest. That was very clear after 3 events when he was ranked at 3rd position. He displayed his crushing strength not only during the contest (10 secs SH with a hard Elite) but also after the comp when he only barely missed Jims #4 twice and closed my MM3 replica. Besides this he put a decent kink in a Red (30-45°) using the revers style at head level. Jim got 6th and I really had trouble to hold him behind me. Remember, not long ago he broke his wrist and still has big trouble doing grippers with his left. He blamed everyone else in the lever event when he levered 8.5kg in his last attempt like nothing. Just for fun he tried 9 and 9.5kg and got both easily too. Big surprise for me was Jims brother Marc, doing lifts like 140 and 150kg in the vbar bringing him temporarily in 5th position. If he starts to (seriously) train he could challenge his brother IMHO. Following Richard, Andy and Dave who did a hell of a job especially in the vbar (dang what am I a whimp there) and were super nice to meet. With Gary (gazza) and Mike I had a hell of a time before and after the contest. Gary impressed me with his abnormal crushing strength in bar bending. He got down a 45° prekinked Red with alarming ease and crushed all my bars I bent a bit further (G8s, G9s ... ), thanks man. Mike entertained all of us with his tenacity when attempting to bend a bar. We sit there nipping our beers and watched him sweating, cool. Many thanks to David and Liz for a great contest. Oliver and Mike did a great job with the loading/unloading and the spotting in the lever event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
