I got 2nd in my weight class at 175 to a guy that has won this show 2 years in a row now so i’m not to dissatisfied with that considering i decided to do this contest at the last minute and didnt really train for it much.
log press
- hit 200 which matched a PR for me
18" DL
- hit 650 and missed 700, we started at 450 and went up in 50lb increments so 700 was my 6th pull i think i coulda got it if i coulda skipped some weights
power stairs
-3 implements, 250, 300, 350 22 seconds
farmers walks
- 52 seconds with 225 haha, not a good time but i was the only one in my weight class to finish
stones
-got 3 stones in like 22 seconds, not good here either, 205, 225, 250, missed 270
This was at Kansas Strongest Man which is a platnum show and one of the biggest shows of the year.
Other progress to note i’m up to 183 pounds now. Up almost 30lbs since last september when i posted my “Skinny Skinny Skinny” thread when alot of people didnt’ believe my numbers at my size untill i posted pics and video.

Haha thanks man i’m not that strong i’ve got a long way to go. I’ve only really been doing this stuff since october.
Congrats on the 2nd place finish.
So when’s your next contest? 
-Dan
I have one on June 24 but there is no 175 class just 200 and under. But hopefully i’ll be almost that big and stronger by then cause i will be seeing some stiff competition.
Binford,
Hey I am guessing you are Derek, I’ve seen your name on the KCStrongman site and remember hearing your name at the meet. I’m Warren, I competed in the LW Novice.
Good job at the show. That was a hell of a show and some good competetion in all divisions. Second is nothing to be ashamed of. I got about 25 pounds on you and you smoked me in all the events. Hell, I placed last among the novices, and I am pleased to have just participated.
Are you going to JWC games in early June? I plan on going, but I’ll just be spectating.
Good job man! I’ll be sure to let you know when I promote another contest out here in Phoenix, AZ. Planning on having an under 200 class.

Thanks that makes me feel better. Ass. Haha.
But seriously, your not the strongest man in the world, but your quite strong, so give yourself credit.
-MAtt
Its hard to give yourself credit when you train with guys that have 60 and 120lbs on you cause compared to them i’m weaker than shit. Definately a good motivator to get stronger and gain weight though.
