No worries man!
Sounds pretty similar to the strongman show i went to in november (i spectated). The axle squat is probably the most brutal one of those 4.
For real, Im gonna be fried after this one. I also have no idea what the weight is gonna be, so thatll be a good time.

Dawn of the Final Day(Contest Day Recap)
Saturday(1/20)
Got to the comp around 8:30am, upon entering the gym the first thing I saw was a group of men all wearing kilts and I knew right then that I was losing the style portion of the competition. But that did not deter me, I put all my stuff in a corner and immediately weighed in so I could get started with getting rehydrated and some food in me. Made the cut at 219.4lbs, so my struggles had paid off. First thing I did after was chug half a bottle of Pedialyte and eat a meal replacement bar. Felt better after that. After the rules briefing around 9am, had about 30mins to warm up before my weight class would be up. Countinued sipping on the Pedialyte, while also drinking some redbull with creatine that I had scooped into it. Then it was my time to shine.
EVENTS
- Last Man Standing Log Clean and Press(Start:180lbs, up 20lbs each round)
-Tied for 3rd with 200lbs
-First Place got 260lbs - Last Man Standing Tire Deadlift(Start:450lbs @14", up 20ishlbs each round)
-Tied for 2nd with 605lbs(They fucked up loading at some point and just kept going with it)
-First Place got 625lbs - Axle Squats to Platform @ Parallel for reps in 60sec(450lbs)
-Placed 2nd with 10 Reps
-First Place got 13 Reps - Yoke Walk Max Distance in 60sec(600lbs)
-Placed 3rd with 71ft
-First Place got 125ft - Stone Over Bar for Reps in 60sec(220lbs)
-Either placed 3rd or 4th with 5 reps, dont know, was fried by this event
-First Place got 13 reps
Overall: 3rd Place
Recap
- Definitely need to train more with the log and stone, cause i had to the strength to do more in each event but i just did not have the technique
- Could have gotten a couple more reps in with the squat, but i hesitated after my 9th rep even though i had plenty of time left. Next comp, balls till the wall till the ref blows the whistle. 100% focus till i drop.
- Even though there is room for improvement, I am still proud of how I competed. I have never touched half of these implements and still did fairly well across the board. Have never gone about 430lbs for a single with squat and I got 10 fucking reps with 450lbs.(@duketheslaya you were right about this event though, got tunnel vision once I finished and almost passed out). Never held 600+lbs in my hands before with the deadlift and I crushed it.
- All in all, it was a good fucking day.

BRUHHHH 450x10!!! Here I was feeling good about 325x12… That is absolutely insane. How much did you miss 2nd place by in each event? You didn’t seem to be all that far behind first place in any of them honestly…
Also: adopt the Eddie Hall mentality. Dude is by far my favorite strongman (although I have nothing against Shaw or Bjornsson) and he’s always competing with them even though he’s only 6’3 and they’re 6’8 and 6’9.
No doubt in my mind you’re taking first next time. I hope you had fun though, sounds like a great time!!!

Hell yeah man, I appreciate that. It was awesome, there were some strong mofos there. Seeing the SHWs go at it was a sight to see.
Me and the guy who came in second were pretty much neck and neck the entire comp, but he ended up getting first in the yoke(second place got 100ft) and he came in second for the stones(Beat me by 1 rep i believe) which put him ahead of me.
This is probably what I am most proud of, i thought i would get 1 or 2 at best haha. Me and the guy who won overall were the only ones able to get more than 1.
