AZ Strongman Contest

175 per hand (per implement). I am positive about this weight not being too heavy for novice LW’s.[/quote]

I picked up one with 4 45s per hand on my first day playing with them. Which is like 180lbs + the implement per hand. It was easy… except for the turn.

Yeah, Cezar did 195 per hand for his first time and was moving at a fairly good pace. The turns are always the hardest, especially with no experience. The contest however will just be 100ft straight ahead and will come down to who is the fastest.

Yeah, I can’t wait to come out there. Sounds like it will be a pretty big show with some challenging events.

Bump!

AZ T-cells!! Don’t forget about this! Come out and support your fellow
T-nation members!

Where exactly in Tempe is this going to be?

It is being held in the parking lot of ACME Roadhouse which is at the SE corner of University and Rural Rd.

Hot AZ wonders why caine and inkaddict aren’t competing???

Sweet! I am definitely going to attend but am too much of a noob to compete. Let me know if you need any help. I’m coming from Yuma but will try to help however I can.

Inkaddict’s not competing because he’s out of shape and does not feel up to being totally dominated, even by you tough ass T-Vixens HOWEVER, he will be training very hard to be prepared possibly for another competition the following year?!

I just really want to watch how everything’s done, never been to one of these contests, and really looking forward to seeing everything, and taking it all in. Oh, and meeting everyone too.

Just giving you a hard time. I have never been to one either and know that I will end up at the bottom of the rankings… but its worth a shot and it will be fun!

(and I’m not bad ass, I’m just recovering from breast cancer this year so my stength isn’t up to par either)

Well shit, you’ve kicked breast cancer (that’s outstanding by the way!) I’ve just been lazy and weak, but come next time…ooh yeah!

MachineAZ,

Count me in.

You’ll have mine and my training partner’s entry at the Iron Will.

AZ guys get your entry forms in already!!!

There is a lot of local interest so all of the out of state people that are planning on competing I suggest getting the entry forms mailed in the next 2 weeks.

Bump.

Hopefully more have sent in their forms by now.

There have been a few more additions as well as oral confirmations. I will have 4 Novice LW’s to add to the list at the end of the week.

Right now there is 1 woman, 5 novice LW, 3 open LW, and 3 open HW.

I’m sure of about 10 more people so that should put us over 20 total which will make the contest GOLD level.

Wish I could. Recovering from a slightly torn MCL. Not to mention that I’d look like a monkey fucking a football. No clue what I’m doing, but I’d have a smile on my face.

But I’ll definitely be up for it next year, and will absolutely be there to encourage everyone else competing.
