Member 5159, 38 posts SQ 130, BP 95, DL 210435.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Did I forget to mention the 100 burpees for time?? The gym itself has actually got a pretty sweet set up for strongman though. | ||

Member 5141, 4204 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | Very little difference between the novice and beginners classes (and I don't just mean that the two names mean the same thing ) I'd be inclined to drop one of those and add in either an Inters or an Open class. That said they are interesting events, forward hold seems to be making a big comeback lately. | ||

not stating facts. Member 3100, 502 posts | Why no tacky? Doesn't that put the bicep at risk? | ||

Member 5159, 38 posts SQ 130, BP 95, DL 210435.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Haha Kev the naming thing has turned into a bit of a running joke... I still think that there's enough difference there for someone to be be able to go mid table in the beginners yet zero several novice events. That said I would love to put on a open competition, just so I have an excuse to use fingal fingers. | ||

Member 5159, 38 posts SQ 130, BP 95, DL 210435.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | I have heard of a few people developing tendonitis in there elbow when lifting sans tacky a lot in training, albeit with much heavier weights. I went no tacky for a few reasons but mainly I just prefer to keep things as simple/raw as possible. The last thing I want is anyone to get injured, but I've kept the weight pretty light to compensate. | ||

not stating facts. Member 3100, 502 posts | What sort of level guys will be entering? Are straps allowed on the deadlift? | ||

Getting fat is just as dumb as using PED's Member 3387, 2532 posts SQ 275, BP 200, DL 290765.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | What strongman equipment do they have, I had a quick nosey a while back and was impressed with the setup. | ||

Member 5159, 38 posts SQ 130, BP 95, DL 210435.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | The standard of the guys obviously varies quite a bit, just had a 6ft 2" 77kg guy enter the beginner with zero experience. While there are a fair few 120/130kg guys with plenty of experience entering the Novice. The deadlift is straps but no suit. | ||

Member 5159, 38 posts SQ 130, BP 95, DL 210435.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Only been in once so far but I have to say I was impressed. They've got stones, a big ol' tyre and a few hussafel shields outside. Then farmers, a prowler and of course an absolute s**t tonne of plates/bars. | ||
