Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	I was thinking about comps and also how strongman can be opened to a wider audience and exposure and came up with the idea of a International Team strongman comp. UK vs USA, Poland, Russia etc. Top 3 or 4 athletes from each country competing in a mix of team and individual events. Get the WSM team and channel 5 on board and I think we have a really good concept.

not much fun Member 374, 3172 posts	It depends what Team equipment you have. My UK team equipment is all two man stuff. Two man log, deadlift, frame carry and other events are made to use two men.

knock knock !! who's there ?? OLD SCHOOL SUGDEN Member 212, 11439 posts SQ 325, BP 212.5, DL 370 907.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	How about instead of lifting bits of old rusty s**t.. You could lift barbells instead - and maybe do a floor to overhead lift with it , maybe first half of the competition in one movement then stop to catch your breath then say in two movements .. Then the total of the two lifts could be added to give a total and the guy with the biggest total will be crowned the winner !!!

Yeah, but to make it really appealing you'd have to call the lifts something that non lifters find amusingly dirty. The first lift could be called 'the clunge' and the second, this strange 2 part lift you mention, could be called the 'jerk off and clean up'. Now broadcast it on a minority channel around 11pm and the viewing figures will skyrocket.....mainly consisting of pubescent teenagers!! WINNER!

I now vow to you that the title of an upcoming video of mine on YouTube will be called - "170kg Clunge"

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	but hey, we should do this on a "lower level". We know enough people in various countries! Would love to go against guys in different countries roughly on same level. (NO! Champion of Champions doesnt count with me and Harri as The Finns )

Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210 522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	I think there should be a WWF style Royal Rumble between the 30 top strongmen in the world. No punches to face.
