Scotlands Strongest Man will be held in Fortwilliam on the 1st of May. EVENTS - 1) INCLINE PRESS - This will be a timber laminated beam with handles like a log. If this is not successful in manufacture a log will be used as in qualifier, weight being 115kg for reps, all compeditors will be belted onto the incline bench, 75 second time limit. 2) MEDLEY - Carry 120 farmers for 30 meters, Drag heavy chain and load onto 18" platform, load two 120kg kegs and then one 115kg sack onto original height barrels, 90 second time limit. 3) CAGE DEADLIFT - Starting weight 250kg then 6 barrels added into cage giving 7 lifts, 75 second time limit. 4) CAGE SQUAT - 260kg for reps. HEIGHT OF SQUAT WILL BE VERY STRICT! 75 second time limit. 5) HERCULES HOLD - This will be done using the barrels (could change) in the Hercules Hold frame, max time wins. 6) STONES - 6 Stones ranging from 110kg to 160kg onto barrels in a semi circle layout, 75 second time limit.

Not in Loz's top 10 uk strongmen Member 144, 4421 posts SQ 320, BP 165, DL 350835.0 kgs @ 123kgs Eq | Yeah I'd say squat and stones are a bit light. Hold will be 150k a hand most likely and then the dead if they use same kegs as last time will go up 15k each time one is added so last one in the area of 340kg. | ||

 Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | Yeah Ken, have to say, when I saw those events, thought you'd be in the mix. A rep dead and squat is brutal though, do you think you will be able to hang with Stuart Bell on those 2? | ||

Not in Loz's top 10 uk strongmen Member 144, 4421 posts SQ 320, BP 165, DL 350835.0 kgs @ 123kgs Eq | Deadlift is ascending weight, I train this on the machine in the gym alot so used to the feeling of it so will be aiming to try and win that event, but if not then top 3. Squat at qual I played it safe due to the calf tear I was diagnosed with two days later and had suffered with the week before qual. I just did a double then and had a good few left in me so with it being in the cage I think I can put a good number up. My training will be alot of higher rep, multi set squatting and working into the pain tolerance so to speak so again looking at top 3 here. JC- log is light, but since it's strict I'm not complaining!  | ||

The above confuses me mate. You said you aim to win the event, but said the last barrell makes it 340KG. You have a 310 max? Its not a pop, just curious? | ||

Not in Loz's top 10 uk strongmen Member 144, 4421 posts SQ 320, BP 165, DL 350835.0 kgs @ 123kgs Eq | JC- with the cage it's not the full weight etc. I'm pretty sure I can get the 6th lift (5th barrel) of 325k and then if I can get the last one to knees just hitch like crazy. It all depends how I do on other events though, just do what I need to do to keep the points high. Martin- not heard anything so just need to wait and see really. | ||

OK. So DL is pretty light then aswell | ||

 Member 194, 3976 posts | Have always wondered this, its obviously a different line which will make it more difficult - but its line is also fixed making it easeir. I imagine for example if it is anything like the hammer strength deadlif thing lee has that once you understand the angle you need to apply force its actually easier than a free bar? I think we pulled 340ish or something for reps in this thing when my max pull was 300 | ||
