I think the problems with this are 1. Some guys just can't front squat (but really thats their problem) 2. Depth. You very rarely see a squat to depth in a strongman comp, front squat would be worse. Then as soon as you have it head to head, the standards are different within one comp

(Not just a suggestion to appease wane)

Hi im Aaron Member 3906, 438 posts SQ 310, BP 190, DL 340 840.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq	Like the sound of front squat for max! Like the idea of SA DB press as monster or circus Block press maybe Stone over yoke is another good one or for hight Tyre flip another awesome event Keg toss too

We all like to see cool stuff!

Member 1276, 132 posts SQ 280, BP 200, DL 363 843.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq	Also we have a load of decent southern open competitors coming thru at the moment so a big turn out could b on the cards, in previous years some of the events and weights were judged by some to b to heavy( I'll admit I was 1 of them) However this year I stepped up and missed qualifying but 1 point ( gutted) but that has spurred me on to train harder, smarter and establish myself as a better/improving open competitor, We can easily get 12-15 good level opens 4 this comp, it's a gr8 comp and I'm glad I took the plunge this year, it's just left me Hungary 4 more, cu guys in may

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts	We done a santa strongman comp in our gym on Sunday. Lot of the Public LOVED it. The events were: 1 Farmers walk, think for around 30 metres 2.Arm over arm, pulling heavy tyre 3.Throwing Heavy santa sacks over high bar for repetition 4.Max Log 5.Max dead with axle bar (obviously no straps) 6. Pinch grip for time Maybe not the greatest events, but was a great atmosphere. Max dead was particulary good!

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	Some great ideas. If you do the front squat, just make sure you get a good ref... To me, Yoke/Front Squat medley is about as strongman as it gets.

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	I also think, if a good field of competitors then farmers for distance is a real crowd pleaser. You look in absolute agony the last few metres and everyone loves that.

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22042 posts	Car wheelbarrow! Zercher isn't going to happen, but in the right format could be cool. Front squat could be a headache for the crew, but would be awesome if it could be made to work.
