So some strongman news. I have signed up for a strongman comp in April. It is an introductory comp for people who what to try it out, so the weights are a little lighter than the open comp.

Carry the yoke 15m, return with the yoke for 15m then move onto the Viking Press to complete as many reps as possible within the time limit.
Event 2: Deadlift Diversity
Complete 2 repetitions on each of the 3 implements in the series as many times through as possible within the time limit.
Event 3: The Farmers Carry & Sandbag
Farmers Carry 15m, Sandbag Carry 30m, Farmers Carry 15m within the time limit
Event 4: The Implement To Shoulder Medley
Attempt to shoulder a series of 6 implements within the designated time limit for this event finale
Weights in the table below. I am 92 right now so should be able to squeeze under 90 with no issues.
I will do compete in the under 90kg class. Sitting at 90 now so no issue making weight.
Looking forward to competing again, mostly against myself of course.
In other strongman news, this weekend is the Australia’s Strongest International competition. A whole weekend of amateur and Pro men’s and women’s competition. Taking the day off work on Friday so I can go to both days. Looking forward to watching strongman live again. Last time was 2019 at the Arnold. It has been a long time between drinks.
