lazy boy Member 1746, 814 posts | I believe Rob has the squat device they have used on wsm. The one that is barrel loaded. Can we use that?? That'd be ace! | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22057 posts | martinmarshall said: I think that would also be cool as f**k to use that. Bit of a classic 'visual' strongman event Yeah, very visual, but would need to be adjusted for each competitor, which could be time consuming. | ||

Are they awkward to adjust then? I guess you would only have to adjust the pegs in a squat rack. But still, good for viewers. | ||

On previous wsm's it doesn't seem that they adjust bottom position that much, as short guys hardly seem to get parallel on it. I may be wrong. That's just from memory. I guess the person to ask is Rob himself. EDIT: or maybe it was the tall ones. Tell you what, just ignore me. | ||

Member 424, 532 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEFeX1LWKD8&feature=plcp&am... This is the peice of equipment in question. It can be set as a deadlift (as in this clip) or as a squat (I didnt have a clip of this to hand). It is pretty awesome, but Rob has loads of brilliant kit as well as a great team of loaders/spotters/judges so I dont think we will have any problems. I will speak to Rob and get some details on for you all. Thank you again for sticking with us. it will be brilliant. I cant tell you the things that go on every day in this hospice. If you dont know, then I hope you never have to know. I can only tell you that if you can do anything to help, then you should, and if you have healthy children then you should never stop being thankful. My wife and I are grateful to you all. | ||
