 has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Cheers Jonathan! I was actually wondering about some of the rules. Have they been listed somewhere or are yourself and Mr Murray going to tell the guys on the day? In particular, I was wondering about the axle. If we felt "stupid" enough, could we lift it onto our knees, then squat down and then kind of "Zercher lift(on the forearms)/front squat" it to our shoulders? Or would this be against the rules? Also, at what height is the bar set for the stone? Cheers Pete | ||

Stuart will run through it all before the comp though. It's fine to do the axle like you say, woud be brutal, but not against the rules.Yoke bar will be set at 50" | ||

Dont know many of the competetors so cant really say about anyone else. Will looks very level with me now.Jonathan and Bigken will cruise their own speed i think. And there are some wildcards there with very strong sounding names will be a great day out, no doubt. | ||

I'm looking to compile a crib sheet of the competitors. Their sporting history, best lifts, likes/dislikes, favourite movie etc We also need nicknames. Cheers | ||

My target is to beat Pete Well despite being a competitive person and I certainly won't be giving you any points for free, unless your back causes you major problems, you will probably beat me on most/all events. Let's run through them Axle - You'll probably beat me quite easily. I'll kinda be happy with 1 rep. Deadlift - Might be quite close but you've probably got a few kilos on me. Yoke - I'll be very happy to finish the course so this one should be yours. Frame Carry - IMHO, my best chance to maybe steal a point or two from you - if I can get a half decent pickup. Dumbell Press - Might be quite close. I'm genuinely unsure how I might do. Stones - Again might be quite close. Your extra experience (due to your hard work with the stones) might get you through your reps a bit quicker than me. Are these mind games or Pete being realistic? Just Pete being realistic!!! | ||
