ForgeGym | Highlands Strongest Man 2013 - Northern Meeting Park, Inverness - 17th Aug | 18-06-2013 @ 10:34 | |
Member 2134, 26 posts | THE HIGHLAND STRONGMAN event hosted by Forge Gym will take place in Northern Meeting Park, Inverness on Saturday August 17th commencing at 7pm. The event will feature a host of entertainments including the battle to be crowned "The Highlands Strongest Man 2013". The events this year will be Farmers Walk, Deadlift Challenge,Tyre Flip, Yoke Walk, Log Press and then the mighty Inverness Stones! 6 stones must be lifted in all, and the event will feature the first attempt to repeat the feat achieved by the Stonemason in 1822 - a 18 stone (252lb) stone launched over a 5 foot bar. After that you have stones of 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160kg to be lifted to various height platforms. Any competitor failing to get the Stonemasons Stone over the 5 foot bar will NOT be allowed to continue the rest of the Stones. This is a real test of power and our 2013 winner will have to be pretty awesome, not a pretty boy! The event is free to enter, and Northern meeting park is a grandstand style venue. This will be heavily promoted by the Council and you can expect to be competing in front of a decent crowd. All potential competitors please pop your names down in this thread, drop me a message on Facebook, or text me on 07519 580 948. The event is open to any competitor of any weight who has NOT previously won a Strongman show. | ||

Going by the stone weights and the fact I think luke won it last year I'm guessing its an open Shame I'm on holiday I would have liked a go at this one | ||

I'm sure it'll still be a great day. | ||
