727.5 kgs @ 114.8kgs UnEq		probably wrong thread for it but if i load up 2 barbells and walk with them is that a fair equivalent to a farmers walk? I imagine it would swing around a bit more, and are farmers handles completely smooth or knurled?

With regards to farmers handles there are so many differnt ones - different thicknesses, smooth, knurled, brutal, painted, raw etc etc.
The actual farmers themselves can differ too - cylinders, frames, tubes, suitcases etc.

Wouldnt say a barbell would be a good gauge for farmers - best bet is to try and get some work on an actual set of farmers.

Try rotating between using a bar and dumbells mate. Loadable ones if you have access.

Cool, better past the driving test then, i think the closest place to me for strongman stuff is colchester which is an hour and a bit away. Might have a crack at the barbell idea though.

The farmers at Reflexions are 8" cylinders approx 3 and a half foot long with thin handles! They are a really nice bit of kit!! Well all the equipment they have there is very well made and looked after!!

300kg yoke for novice is heavy, in fact as heavy as a Britains/Uk's qualifier, you need to make the events doable for novices and potential first timers.

Apart from that looks like a good comp.
