Not so much as forgotten as can't remember Member 894, 4924 posts SQ 245, BP 167.5, DL 272.5685.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I think both the new and old set of events would allow the stronger guys to win and place higher than the weaker guys which is almost the number one priority for the regional champs leading to nationals Pleasing people is an impossible task at times but upping the weights due to a stronger field can be understood and reflects a better calibre of athletes maybe I look forward to the Northerns qualifiers events being announced and being able to do better than last years in terms of looking more deserving to participate One day them legendary 140kg farmers will be done!!! | ||

Could also have led to more lower level entries and less likelihood for injury and stress to you to progress Like I say either way they look like a good game | ||

Dont see the obsession with OH TBH. Rather see a squat in there More than likely mentioned already but deadlift, farmers, yoke and stones all in one session are all lower back and hip dominant to some (like me) and two overheads can be different enough to favour separate athletes as not all overhead are as similar as is suggested at times I agree that squat could have been thrown in but that is a difficult one to organize, set up, ref and introduce to some from what I can see Maybe in 2012 it will be better represented along with other visually pleasing displays like keg toss, fingals, and silver dollar deadlift... And Conans Then maybe holds can also be added due to the variety of whole body strength tests! | ||
