 Ne n coner a fuickex .ay ouse part we .be Member 1425, 4647 posts SQ 340, BP 227.5, DL 335902.5 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | What would you guys say is the base level static strength Required to compete in amateur level strongman? I know most will say it's not about static strength and more about the events however there must be a point were someone would potentially no rep most events | ||

 Member 5964, 573 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 265665.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | From what I've seen I would say Novice Log 90-100kg Deadlift 200-220kg U105 Log 110-120kg Deadlift 240-260kg Opens Log 130-140kg Deadlift 280-300kg Those are pretty much the minimums and a lot more would be required to be competitive | ||

 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10443 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | Thts about right, alot more lighter novice/beginner comps around now where I'd say you can get away with 180 dead and 80 overhead | ||

what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10443 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | I dont think deadlift being double overhead is right tbh, I think 190/400 is more applicable, same with 170/360 | ||

I suppose if the pull is hitched strapped and hoovered you might be right! Do you consider a 200kg log more impressive than a 400kg pull? | ||

 woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 24.08.2016 @ 06:55 AM by Nimble If you are talking about strongman, surely a 200kg log must be more impressive than a 400kg pull. How many of the world's top twenty strongmen would ever fail a 400kg deadlift? One or two? Lots can and do fail 200kg logs. | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | I know what a "hitched" pull is, I know what a "strapped" pull is, but I have never heard of a "hoovered" pull...is it dust free and spotlessly clean? As rule of thumbs go I don't think pull / log = 2 is that far off until you get to top class levels. | ||

woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | I looked at the ratios for the top 14 lifters that I could get figures for, and the averages are - deadlift 434kg - log 203kg Which is a ratio of 2.13:1 If that ratio follows across the board, you'll end up with something like- LOG DEAD LEVEL 120 260 Novice 140 300 Regional 160 340 National 180 380 International | ||

I saw a lad called 'Toby DYSON' do it once, and called it hoovering ever since. | ||

I know Dyson make powerful hoovers but surely not strong enough to deadlift more than Ed Hall. Even with straps and a suit... | ||

Even with straps and a suit... True, but you never know what with their recent cyclone-technology. It still amazes me that the same man invented not only the Dyson but also managed to build SkyNet and the Terminators*. * Which, if it isn't the name of a Band, it bloody well should be. | ||

 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | ChrisMcCarthy said: It still amazes me that the same man invented not only the Dyson but also managed to build SkyNet and the Terminators*. That was Miles Bennet, and I don't think he build terminators. Skynet built them as infiltration units  | ||
