I wouldn't be against a bench event.

Its not something I train but would for a comp.

Have benched 175 and tbh would like to nail a 400 lb'er. A comp with it it would be a good motivation to hit that target.

Pressing in the horizontal position is not a natural thing.


There's nothing more natural in fairness.

Ooh great, we're doing spelling mistakes now. Expect lots more input from me... Grin Just needed someone to egg me on, I guess. Can we do punctuation too, please?

IMO keep deadlifting in but in the fassion of deadlifting on a frame using a car or a cage, but as for squats IMO nots as imperssive in Strongman events that a deadlift type event.

in the shetland comp next year we're thinking of having some old school and new events. like the arm over arm with bales of sheeps wool on a hoist, fingals fingers, atlas stones, fleid stone press medley, bar bending might be there, farmers yoke and chain drag medley, deadlift for max on a frame with a car and pins of loading plates.
car roll, tire carry(like frame carry except with a tyre with handles)

kind of want to use things that the spectators can relate to rather than doing a bench, or squat or deadlift as unless you are training or have a little interest most of the spectators we get dont really know much about the weight training world.

if anyone else has any strnge ideas for event please give me a shout the more ideas we have the more interesting we and the guys up here can make the comp.
