I'd assumed it was playing lip service to social distancing ie social distancing by having no spotters. | ||

I fancy "conans load" usual conans with a big basket, do half a lap load an implement into basket do half a lap etc etc. | ||

that doesn't excite you? Member 6406, 30 posts SQ 220, BP 145, DL 260625.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Any pictures of the flag hoist around? Still trying to picture it but it sounds like the old "barrel on a rope" hoist events | ||

 woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | luki said:I was picturing fingals fingers with flag poles. I guess it could be arm over arm with a rope too. Sounds a bit like an arm to arm from the athletes meeting. Also Levan (Saginashvili) said he wanted a go so I’d imagine that’s it. I guess he’d do very very well on that event. Hope they give him a chance. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 13.03.2021 @ 11:30 AM by Mikeneto This deadlift isn't separating anyone. How good your loader is makes the difference. Stick another 40kg on it | ||

There was a fair few didn't finish. Also a long day with 5 events. Weight seems right to me for a packed program. Can't believe how many managed under 30 seconds. 1) Bobby Thompson, 2) Heiena, 3) Novi, 4) Janashia and 5) JF Caron. Carons loader tried to put the last plate on before the lock off. Cost him a higher spot imho. | ||
