Member 3548, 24 posts | sorry guys. We kept in the max log to keep a max lift event in place , but pulled the deadlift to keep the comp running quickly. Plus in the past we've lost the crowds on events like deadlift. The public seem to prefer watching you guys pull trucks, drag huge chains, and move things like the superhumans you are. weights on a bar don't tend to interest them. I know the event is for strongmen to compete, but it is all about gaining public interest as well and putting on a show for joe public. Would be great to see you guys come up and compete and even bring more competitors and support. its always good to meet new faces and make new friendships. but if you want to pull out I can totally understand. just let me know what course of action you want to take. P.S. the chains still heavy as fook, and might even get a weighted sled hooked to it. so a great chance to shift some serious weight. if you want we can set up a bar so you can do some deadlift reps after it for some "random medley bonus points"  | ||
