And like that... he is gone. Member 2848, 771 posts | Post Edited: 18.07.2012 @ 16:56 PM by keyser_soze thinking of running a strongman competition in the Livingston area that would be open to anyone and I want to see how much interest there is. I'm aiming it more at intermediate competitiors as their seems to be a big jump from novice to opens. I'm thinking November would be a good time as I have access to a very large workshop with heating and toilets and changing rooms and vending machines and various amazing things like that. events would be along these lines - Log for reps, 100kg approx, 90sec - Axle deadlift for reps, 250kg, 60sec. straps but no suits. - 300kg yoke for 12m then straight into a power stairs. not sure of weight to use on power stairs though, will set it up and try. probably head to head. - arm over arm for height. like this from the 43min mark http://youtu.be/u8DECs72W4 in the 1983 WSM. not sure of weight, again will check closer to the time. epic 80s hair will obviously mean more points - Overhead medley. 2 circus dumbbells, probably 42 and 53, one large monster dumbbell around 60 and some random metal block in the region of 80 that I'll borrow from one of the heighbouring fabricators - stones. not sure if it'll be arnold style or for height. stones for height might be a bit different but I'm not sure if people would be interested entry would probably be around £10, with t-shirts etc. and first prize would be anything up to a value of £1 from the aforementioned vending machine. so who's interested? | ||

 his poor male ego must be crushed Member 883, 6251 posts SQ 290, BP 180, DL 420890.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | I think Stones with high platforms is a stupid event as it needlessly gives taller people an advantage. Just my opinion. Rest of the comp sounds cool though! | ||

And like that... he is gone. Member 2848, 771 posts | Thanks Martin, I'm just basing it on what events I'd like to do myself. Stephen, I'll put up a proper thread when I've confirmed events and date. shouldn't be any limit on numbers though, can comfortably accomidate 20 anyone know how I can enforce the intermediate aspect of the competition? If everything works out I'll run a similar competition in the new year for opens but with much heavier weights. | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 18.07.2012 @ 22:39 PM by Benvie I'd be up for this as would another couple of guys from Aberdeen potentially, Dunno if I would be allowed to enter an intermediate comp but if so fire my name down for it.And also, just my opinion but I wouldn't like stones for height, mainly because I am only wee but I suppose it would be ok to see a different event. | ||

Member 673, 529 posts SQ 200, BP 110, DL 230540.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Great looking comp, but have to agree on the stones! Heavier stones with normal platforms is much better. Strongest will win anyway Arm over arm looks amazing. Im off to watch it on youtube lol Think a few at IS would be up for this & heated inside...... | ||
