I hadn't planned to do anything except the pinch but like about 6 others decided to try the bench on the day. It's hard not to lift when everyone's having so much fun!

There were too many good lifts to choose just one but Loz's 700lb Squat and 770 deadlift, Richard's 310lb Log, David's near miss at a World Record in the pinch and Steve's grinding 390lbs Bench were some of the highlights.

At the meal afterwards we had a wonderful time and David proved what a great arm wrestler he was by taking on everyone one after another. Only Jim came away with a win over David but most lasted less than 1 second!

Congratulations to everyone!!!
