9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | Have fun doing 9 events lads! It will be brutal! In all seriousness, Paul put in so many events so everyone has some good and bad events. I think all areas are being tested | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 09.07.2011 @ 19:16 PM by MrSmall So in the keg load medley, they load a keg from 5m, flip the fingals, load another keg from 5m, flip the fingals, the kegs are reset in the meantime back to 5m, and they repeat the whole thing as many times as poss in 75 seconds? Or is it just carry & load keg, flip, carry and load keg, flip, finished? | ||

vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought...

Not so much as forgotten as can't remember Member 894, 4924 posts SQ 245, BP 167.5, DL 272.5685.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | terryhollands said:Have fun doing 9 events lads! It will be brutal!

I think all areas are being tested The deadlift isnt heavy as I thought it would be looking at the qualifiers weights... But people did no rep on that event which is never great For the guys who make it this far to compete in such and alternative event with new tests of strength is something I would love to see never mind take part!!! | ||

When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | The deadlift will come down to a grip test as the 2nd implement is a 275kg axle and those who can lift it without the use of straps will save a hell of a lot of time. There's no test of deadlift strength there really. Still a cool event though. I think 9 events is overkill personally, but nearly all the events look great. I just hope there's a nice fast turnaround to keep spectators happy. It ran awesome last year so I'm sure it will | ||

Champion of Under The Radar 105 Member 805, 5301 posts SQ 325, BP 202.5, DL 335862.5 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | 5 out of the 9 events will come down to grip, arm over arm, maxle, deadlift medley, farmers and tyre, no surprise there but I do think its abit overkill Also deadlift medley involves picking up a frame and carrying it, when there is farmers? I wonder how many biceps tears there will be on that tyre with no tread? I love to have a moan | ||

More often than not overloading the forearm/bicep in previous events leads to ruptures than technique faults IMO That's why they happen alot in comps after other specifically demanding events whereas in training most people manage to keep the biceps as god wished | ||

If you mean keV he did do max reps with an axle before he touched the tyre and tore the distal attachment of his "under" arm on the alternative grip | ||

I love to have a moan When you put it like that I think your points are valid, very grip orientated as some comps are Check out tacky for the tyre, straps allowed and use you "shelf" on the axle Just do your best in the given situation and don't hurt yourself, you don't have to do every event if you twinge your biceps! | ||
