I am definitely considering it - I just need to build some strength first! Any idea on the final event yet? Is Madders not doing it? | ||

Member 5256, 54 posts | Post Edited: 19.01.2015 @ 17:47 PM by blinki Will squats be adjusted so everyone squats to parallel or same depth for all? Regular bar or a thicker one?No loading the sandbag at the end, just over the line with it? Pick your own weight for log or set increments? Limited attempts, keep going til you're out, allowed to skip weights? Tacky allowed for stones? I don't think it says on the event page but sorry if I've just been blind | ||

I don't think it says on the event page but sorry if I've just been blind Hi Blinki, One height for all competitors on the squat, while this does give an advantage to the shorter guys they certainly lose out when it comes to events like stone loading. It will also be a regular old barbell. Sandbag just needs to be carried across the line, no loading. The log is done in 5kg increments, you can skip as many lifts as you like. last man standing style. Tacky allowed for stones. | ||

Thanks I'd have voted no height adjustment on squat for that reason, evens it out with stones plus I'd bet it's be a pain to adjust in between so many competitor | ||
