Cheers Jonathan!
I was actually wondering about some of the rules. Have they been listed somewhere or are yourself and Mr Murray going to tell the guys on the day?
In particular, I was wondering about the axle. If we felt "stupid" enough, could we lift it onto our knees, then squat down and then kind of "Zercher lift(on the forearms)/front squat" it to our shoulders? Or would this be against the rules?
Also, at what height is the bar set for the stone?
Cheers Pete

It's general strongman rules - ie, anything goes pretty much
If there's anything you want to know specifically just ask though. Stuart will run through it all before the comp though. It's fine to do the axle like you say, woud be brutal, but not against the rules.Yoke bar will be set at 50"
hey days are running out!
i am frantically trying to come up with a good excuse for pulling out, but cant come up with any, so may as well f**king nail this comp
My target is to beat WILLSAN and Pete Bring it on boys! Dont know many of the competetors so cant really say about anyone else. Will looks very level with me now.
Jonathan and Bigken will cruise their own speed i think. And there are some wildcards there with very strong sounding names
will be a great day out, no doubt.

Alright folks.
I'm going to be MCing this weekend's festivities. I'm looking to compile a crib sheet of the competitors. Their sporting history, best lifts, likes/dislikes, favourite movie etc
We also need nicknames.
Cheers

There is only one nickname for Joni.
It has been told for centuries.
Passed from generation to generation.
The man.
The legend.
THE BULL

Well despite being a competitive person and I certainly won't be giving you any points for free, unless your back causes you major problems, you will probably beat me on most/all events.
Let's run through them
Axle - You'll probably beat me quite easily. I'll kinda be happy with 1 rep.
Deadlift - Might be quite close but you've probably got a few kilos on me.
Yoke - I'll be very happy to finish the course so this one should be yours.
Frame Carry - IMHO, my best chance to maybe steal a point or two from you - if I can get a half decent pickup.
Dumbell Press - Might be quite close. I'm genuinely unsure how I might do.
Stones - Again might be quite close. Your extra experience (due to your hard work with the stones) might get you through your reps a bit quicker than me.
Are these mind games or Pete being realistic?
Just Pete being realistic!!!
