what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10452 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400 940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq	I don't think it would be a great idea but alot of peoples point was that alot of guys don't want to get up to a massive 140+ bodyweight to be competiive at opens.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Not the most festive thread, but to add my views, I didn't vote. As someone who would naturally fit into that class, I can see the point. I don't want to walk around at 20st plus, as it impedes your everyday life (and I look a mess). However, I'm a bit torn by the notion of so many weight classes, as one of the things that has always attracted me to strongman is the rather extreme, freakish nature of the sport. I like that it's not accessible, easy etc. It's pretty much the point of it! So...no idea. But I can't say I'd be that interested in competitions unless they led somewhere. A one-off u120 doesn't appeal. Having a weight class structure (like in the US) would make me consider it more seriously.

Big fish in a small pond Member 1150, 2101 posts	I think for it to ever work you would need a structure of competitions to lead to main events etc.

Member. Member 2171, 1612 posts	I voted yes, but then realised that it would be almost as heavy as "opens" anyway, so no real point.

If there was 120 then it would only be a year or two before people ask for 135kg weight class. But i'm tiny so don't know the personal issues of literally being that size.

Member 4416, 1372 posts SQ 210, BP 175, DL 240 625.0 kgs @ 122kgs UnEq	I think that there should be a weight class for every 2kg differential per person. Then you can be a multi weight champion much easier.

You're forgetting that when the 105s was formed, most opens were 120-140, so a 115-120 class would have been nonsical

Member 2775, 6927 posts	I don't think there's anything wrong with 120k weight class, I just don't think it would interest too many people. The top level guys at any weight class other than open are going to be depleting and cutting water so your looking at guys who are pretty much opens and opens is a much more prestigious devision than a newly started one.
