Other stuff... 1 Bodypower and the Rolling Thunder

It's not that long now until the muscle and fitness fest that is Bodypower 2012. Year on year growth sees aprox 30000 expected over the 3 day weekend (Fri-Sunday). Up a day from last year. It'll be interesting to see if this VAT issue makes for some chatting and a half among the companies attending.

Me? I'm working, as last year, with UltimateGrip (also at Seni later the same month I think). I'll be with the nut job (in a nice way) that is Rod 'Rambo' Lenette as the ''faces'' so expect us to goof about a little to get your interest.

I'm also keen to play my part, as last year, along with Denny Felix over on the strength arena on Sunday afternoon with the 2012 British Rolling Thunder championships. Last year I tied for 2nd with the (as now) World's Strongest Man 2012 winner Brian Shaw. Mark Felix, world record holder, won. Recent efforts of Laine Snook aren't to be sniffed at.

So what am I thinking... assuming I don't knacker myself by squeezing grippers all weekend for pay like last year and still coming 2nd I plan on doing better. In spite of the 'no chalk' rule at Beef's Gym here in Strood where I am temporarily staying (looking for a new home to move to - Wales preferred) I am finally able to get the 2011 Ironmind Rolling Thunder handle a workout. It's well used and I did some BIG numbers on it during the last session. Not quite to Laine's level yet but there's enough time. Fancy winning some goodies in the amateur event? Come on down!!
