Hey Adam,
There's no particular cut off for entry more a first come-first serve approach. I imagine your looking at the novice? In which case we have 11 places left, so should be plenty of time.

Yes will be novice, pay no attention to the numbers under my name I'm no where near them since my injury, but at least it will be a good test to see where I'm at.

120kg tackyless stone sounds horrible to end with :P
at the end of a comp, especially novice/beginner where you want people doing as well as possible, surely you'd want tacky so that everyone gets a couple of reps at least.
Beats getting no reps and f**ked forearms for nothing :P

Yeah that's what I'm worried about. Already had one ruptured bicep. Don't want another

If your still interested the weight has been dropped on the stone to 100kg and a space has opened up in the novice.

There's a video explaining it here https://www.facebook.com/thestrengthgames

Sorry man but I'm only moving the equipment into the gym the day before. The standard of guys varies greatly from those who have never used any equipment before to those with a few novice comps under there belt. It's a mixed bag as always but it's just good experience at the end of the day.

There must be a strongman gym near you, doesnt have to be the exact kit to practise on

The gym itself is decent and has plenty of strongman equip. Might be worth in going in and having a look.

You need to be willing to travel usually for SM. Generally a few places to train in Rotherham area mate. Be worth it. Standard always varies. People who arr glory hunters and those who genuinely are novice. Every comp has them, this one included haha.
