Looks like I'm doing a strongman competition next month - events are medley, axle, stone, log and yoke - what should I take ?

I'm thinking :

Tacky (stone)
Long straps (for the axle)
Power belt (log, yoke)
Wrist straps (log)
Deadlift slippers (axle)
Lifting shoes (log)

A suggested lifting "kit bag" contents would be helpful

Stuff to remove tacky, rock climbing shoes if there's a truck pull.

Turps or wd40 removes it. Also i've been told spider tack is about the best money can buy. I use hair wax for training, but was going to buy some spider tack for comps as u need all the help you can get when it counts.

i'd take some chalk as well just in case

and i prefer something a bit more supportive when doing heavy yoke - i use hiking boots

also plenty of water, cake, sweets etc to keep you going

Spider tack is good but I don't think that it is enough better than wax to justify the difference in price, best bet is to try and get some of the black hair wax, it is about as good as you can get.

Interesting. What make would the black be? Sure it'll be about on the net somewhere.

Not sure what make it is mate, got a shot of some at a comp a while back and it was awesome, can't remember the make, I know that BigKen uses it though, maybe ask him.

Spider tack is awesome and can be removed with baby oil.
