My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts	it may add value yeah... at yorkshires when they had the top 5 do the stone run for max distance.... it had a real "penalty shootout" feel to it

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335 850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	milsy said:i would love to see a static strong man comp max log max dead max stone max squat max rolling thunder but thats just me maybe decent to compete in....dog s**t to watch I love max log/dead, but they can be pretty boring spectator events max rolling thunder would be horrendously boring IMO Personally I think the best comp have a similar formula:- Max Event (Log or DL or Squat) Repping Event (One of the above...not the one used for max) Stones Carry event for 20m for speed (Yoke/Farmers etc) Medley (incorporating any one of barrels, farmers, yoke, drags, fingers, tyre etc) Truck Pull or Arm-arm

as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11371 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190 502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	I like odd events. Bar bending, uphill loading medley, large man squat for reps (my idea)

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211 499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	I think that the general public much prefer dynamic events to static ones, and ones in which the weights are real world objects; e.g. bench pressing motorbikes, deadlifting cars, overheads with safes, etc. (to give some expamples I've seen). A max static strength comp would be too similar to powerlifting.

Member 1966, 348 posts SQ 160, BP 70, DL 200 430.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq	I advertised the Dumfries novice comp and within 4 days had 18 lads confirmed so must have done something right with the events..Personally i'm not a fan of static events as a spectator..

9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts	i personally feel entertaining events are best! head to heads are a must! i would personally always set up a comp with 1 third static 2 thirds moving. i hate pressing medleys that comp down to time rather than power, same with deadlift at wsm which was just about doing it quick. i do think some promotors are ott with the weights, they need to be heavy enough to challenge but not too heavy where loads of guys get the same reps
