π₯ 1st in the
@godsofgrip UK League Final under120s & π₯ 3rd overall π€―
.
What a day yesterday! Where do I even start...
.
I over performed, lifting multiple PBs, I finished with my body totally spent, bloody aching now! π I think I bagged a couple of new world records π€ It was awesome to catch up with many familiar faces, meet many new ones & also witness some epic lifting, of which, special mention to the freak who could hold onto anything thrown at him yesterday
@t_iny_3 - 240kg double over hand axle after basically doing 230 & 235 with pauses just before ππ€― (IF YOU HAVEN'T - CHECK HIM OUT!)
.
I left overwhelmed with how kind & supportive everyone & I could honestly write on & on about all the kind things people did, not just yesterday, but also leading up to the final.
That being said, there has to be a few special thank yous:
.
Firstly, massive thanks to
@chrisedgy - basically been a grip coach over the last year (+ more to be fair), always there to help & give tips, willing to lend kit & shares his time with us guys who call
@spartan_training_centre home. Even chauffeured for the day too! π«Ά
.
@godsofgrip + all the refs and volunteers - hosted one hell of an event, ran not just over the one day but all the qualifiers & then the final itself, massive props to these guys for doing what they are doing in the UK grip scene π
.
@spartan_atlas_stones - hosting the qualifiers & just generally for creating a community of strength in the North East Wales region π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ
.
@greywolffitness - I don't think this chap realises just how much his many small comments over the last 2 years have left an impression, slowly helping build confidence & of course, for the cold beer at the end of the day - legend π»
.
@sam_horn_strength_systems - my closest 'rival' in the u120s, but still sat down & shared a rum & coke with me at the end of the day, such an absolute gent and pleasure to do battle again π
