I'll be doing the Novice under 75's. Although I can pull at 70kg I'm feeling more comfortable at 73-75kg while I'm still getting some experience and learning. Will be cool to see you there if you can make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raikkonen Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 i will ask my manager if i can have the saturday off. my girlfriend says she will come down to see me win, more like see me get owned lol. this will be my first experience really. so will be cool if i get time off. i will pull in novice too obviously and keep it at 75kg or under if possible. what training are you doing now. if i get the day off. i will stop most of my gym work and maybe just do 2 sessions a week. one pulling the other gym with weights. or maybe 2 sessions of pulling a week.

Nice one, the leisure centre is within walking distance of Bletchley leisure centre if you're going by train and pretty easy to fnd by car. Definitely try and get in the 75's if you can, the 90's will be full of much bigger guys! Win or lose, it'll be worth doing for the experience and to learn what to expect in the future. Atm my training consists of pulling once a week with the MK club, and sometimes with my training partner Ben. I do powerlifting lifts 4 times a week and train weights for armwrestling at least twice a week (curls, wrist curls, pulley, grippers etc). How about yourself?

raikkonen Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 i usualy do a pulling session on sunday with m8s but since new girlfriend ive not pulled for about 2 months. if im not pulling i will do 2 arm workouts per week. usualy a monday and thursday. one session with full ROM and the other with really heavy and just partials. ive notivced this has worked great increasing my full ROM lifts too. from now on ill just be doing cable work and or pulls with my friends if i can get them to hlpe me so will be 2 pulling sessionss a week and ill lay off the gym work abit and just go lightly on bench deadlift etc. ill never get up to 90. im not even worried about going over 75kg. also my m8 recently gave me a bar to put up on your doorframe. so im working on one arm pull ups and holds. is taking some time though ill let you knwo if i get the all clear of tome down. only thing to worry next is if my car makes it lol sure it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do a one armed pull up (I can't though I'm getting close right handed) you should do pretty well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mithras Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 You're welcome to come down any time you want, we train every Tuesday from 7-9pm at the leisure centre the competition is being held at and it's free. We've got 3 mazurenko tables at the club. If you do decide to come down make sure you PM me as I don't go every single week due to work etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mithras Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 This comp has sadly been cancelled (apparently due to the venue demanding a doubling of the hire charge a few days before). Damnit, 6 weeks of training "wasted". Oh well at least I had a week of forced rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
