Well I am really tired and my Spike is wearing off.
I am very happy with how it went today, I got last in the comp out of 17 but it was a freaking pro/am and the weights where pretty damn heavy good thing is all my lifts where PR’s
First event arm over arm pull 75 ft F550 superduty diesel crew cab work truck, they said it was 12,000lbs front tires where deflated from around 80psi to I think 35PSI
I wasn’t to worried about this event untill they annouced your ass can’t leave the ground to get it going.
Well I got it started pretty good and gave it my all I moved it around 40-45ft more than halfway atleast, got 2nd to last in this event.
Half way down the course there was a lump in the pavement where it started to go uphill, I got stuck there.
2nd was axle clean and press 240lb I got 0 reps, I would have been able to clean it if I was about to rest it on my belt but that is a no no. I have a picture that show how close I was to resting it on my belly. Most I have ever cleaned on the axle was 190 and press 200 so I wasn’t expeting much.
3rd car deadlift: Didn’t even try, I saw this get tested last week and knew it was going to be damn heavy, I think there was 12 no lifts in this event and the winner got 4 or 5?
4th Medeley, 260 each hand farmers followed by power stairs, 350lb for 3 15" steps.
I picked the farmers up and got somewhere around 5ft with it, most I have ever picked up before was 220, I picked it up 3 times.
Stones. 5 stones starting at 251 ending at 365lbs
I was first to go of course, I got real tackyed up, the first stone was around 5ft? away from the 48"? platform, I ripped it right off the ground real suprised out how well I picked it up. Walking with it was a diffrent story, I duck walked it about 3 feet droped it, picked it up, walked it to the platform tried to stand up but my grip sliped, picked it up again and fully extended with the stone, had it right at the edge of the platform but couldn’t load it. My brother says I picked it up again and tried but I don’t remeber.
Heavisest stone I lifted before was around 226-230lbs so I am real happy with that.
Heavy ams and Pros go tommarow.
I have some pictures I will post on Sunday or Monday. [/quote]
I was there when it was tested out the previous weekend
There was 17 comptiters, 4 or 5 got a lift, the winner got 5. It was HEAVY
April 22/07 Events
-Tire: three or four flips with a bit of a spot off the ground
-axle clean & press: worked up to an easy 180 (last time’s PR…hit it easier)… continental cleaned 200 but missed the press (clean pr)
-arm-over-arm drag: three passes…first one was garbage.
-farmers: a couple assisted pickups with 200 a hand and walked it some.

Your welcome, I should have some better ones later this week, my brother couldn’t get pics when I had the stone up against the platform due to other people taking pics. I’ll post them when I get them.
It was a ton of fun, competing really light a fire under my ass, I don’t want to do anything else than strongman, I am thinking about selling my ATV and getting 5-6k and buying all the equipment I need (and pay off some bills).
I will start training for my next comp in June on Wendsday my back, legs and hips are still very sore so I will do some overhead.
main Goals by June 9th 220-230 on the log and improving my grip big time for farmers. If I can do these two things I should do pretty good.

Ha got the bug lol nice work there are worse hobbies.
man much of what you need can be had free or very little charge aside from log. get some rocks for grip and to throw, carry etc. see if there is a stone cutter4 near by you can get great 4-5 inch wide cut stone remnants great for grabbing/ grip work
keep it up,

I know it won’t cost 4k+ I just meant with that I could get everything I need.
My entire yard is stones! I live near a big river, I have a big pile of them in my front yard, I need to start doing pinch grip with them, I am also going to build a set of farmers and do them twice a week, 1 day going heavy, with holds once I can’t walk anymore with them, the other day lighter for distance, my next comp has a farmers that is 150 ft so I got to start working on it!
Yesterdatys “workout” is not worth mentioning, I meant to take more time off and I should have.
I did rack pulls worked up to 405x3 tried for 455 but it felt like crap, I havn’t felt to great the past couple days since the comp,… voice is out… tired etc, I am not 100%
i will rest up and get back at thursday or Friday
