Hopefully my knee and should would have recovered by then, and I can get my lifts back up to what they were.

Member 4049, 134 posts	What sort of weight would the guys in the "U80kg" Catagory be lifting anyway?

There is not much demand for u80k comps, and being to heavy will only put of new lightweight strongmen and I think it will benefit more in the long run if it got heavier over time. I also think it should be used as a stepping stone to u90k as well. This is what im thinking anyway,

Member 4049, 134 posts	Post Edited: 28.11.2012 @ 15:46 PM by IMPERIUM What I mean is.... Deadlift for reps- what kind of weight would be expected for an u80 guy to pull? Log for reps- same question? The only reason I'm asking is- most novice u90 comps I been to it seems that Deadlift is two times body weight and log lift around 80kg. Just wondered if a u80's comp would be any different?

Just wondered if a u80's comp would be any different? agreed imperium the weights used in a deadlift event FOR THE MASS'S should be around 190-200 no more on a standard bar yoke like dave says 240 farmers 100kg -110 ish log for reps 80-90 lets not forget that we base alot of our little understanding of u80 comps on the only 2 weve had advertised on here ants and BSM u80 both were a stupid high standard and the winners were ste baker and shane both very good u90 men aswell @ bsm u80 cleggy lowered the farmers weight due to competitors thinking it was 2 heavy i personally think a 270 yoke was 2 heavy but both comps struggled with competitors due to insane poundages being advertised yes its good to get the best guys lifting the heaviest weights but imo lower the weight and make it more accessible to more ppl the best would still win f**k me shane could have put 10kg on every event and still one with a perfect score @BSM im not fussed either way if bsm u80 goes ahead next year il be gunning for top spot whatever the events or weights iv got a score to settle with that Flash fella

Sorry IMPERIUM, I miss read what you was asking, As V man says, There has only ever been two u80k comps so we dont know what weight`s should be. Two times bodyweight for reps sounds abit light (160k) for BSM U80k, but if it was a qualifier for bsm then that sounds about right. The more people doing the u80k comps the better, And a qualifier for bsm u80k would show that it is moving forward. So there is no answer really, All you can do is look up strong as an ant thread and bsm u80 and see what the event`s weight`s were, and go of that.
