 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | https://www.ezevent.com/Live/TheClydesdaleGames/06152013/547 Mike Jenkins is running this, with former 105 beast Scott Porter as one of the sponsors - what are your thoughts on this? (Mine are that it will be very tough!) | ||

That second yoke run wouldn't be nice at all and I would be surprised to see anybody finish that tyre/stone medley in 5 mins. | ||

 Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | That is a lot heavier than I was expecting. I would be very interested to see who does well at that comp | ||

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | Actually its f**king mental! 140 overhead, 400 yokes in events that last 6 minutes! I was going to compare it to 90s strongman, but its way heavier and would require so much more fitness. Where can I see this? | ||

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Personally I think this is a bit ridiculous. Make it one thing or another, I really can't see many people finishing it. | ||

I don't even know who'd be able to do this lol.... Shane? | ||

 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10443 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | 143 overhead at the end of what I'm guessing is a very long medley seems pretty damn hard! | ||

 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Looks bloody hard. It'll take a pretty fit strongman or a very strong crossfitter to do well. It will especially take a strongman who can string together some double unders.  | ||

Member. Member 2171, 1612 posts | This is quite funny, it is going to wind a lot of people up. People seem scared of crossfit but it has always been for the wrong reasons (form, experience etc) when this was always going to be the progression. Looks fantastic and will take some crazy strong and fit people to complete it  | ||

Member 13, 14460 posts SQ 230, BP 180.5, DL 262.5673.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq Administrator | i train at a crossfit gym now, and they have some lovely kit, i joined in with a few wods, and they were tough, some things i dont agree with, but the ones that take it seriously and compete, or have aspirations to compete, have very good form, and generally are pretty strong, e.g. 70kg guy squatting 140 oly style benching 120 touch and go, 80kg overhead, 210 deadlift on the whole its a pretty positive environment for people to train in bit like some powerlifting gyms will have some knobheads, crossfit will be the same. | ||
