 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Somebody in Adlington today mentioned they are running some sort of strongman comp on the May Bank Holiday weekend. Not sure of the events, think they might include the powerlifts. Thought some of you strongmen might be interested as its local. Don't know any other details sadly. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | If it's the same comp they run every year it's basically a few gym lifts for reps. Fat pete knows about it bacause he has done it. If it's not that then I don't know. | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17921 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | There are seven events, you must compete in six, the winner of each event gets 30 points, second 20 and third 10. Highest total of points is the winner. Two catagories, under 85K bodyweight and over 85K Events Hack squat on hack squat machine - weight used 200K Deadlift - weight used - 185k Military press on Smith machine - weight used - 80K plus weight of bar EZ curl - weight used - 75K Bench Press - weight used - 140K Dips - Body weight plus 30 K Chins - Body weight The winner is the one who does the most reps with the above weights. Weights quoted are from memory and therefore may be a tad out, also these are for the 85K plus lifters, sub 85K lifters are slightly lighter. This years comp is on June 2nd which is a Saturday, usually starts about 1 o'clock-ish. If you're interested phone the Gym on 01942-871772. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17921 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Now I think about it that deadlift is probably 225 I think 185 is for the under 85s | ||

 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | What chance does a 20/ day smoker have with events for reps? Thats just dumb. Nothing to do with being strong at all. More typical facist injustice towards higher rate tax payers. | ||

Ceasation of most smoking activities will commence with the move into our new house. In fact I've just booked a dirty weekend in Amsterdam for me and the Mrs, so the official 'get fit' date is the 13th June. Funnily enough, the last time I competed at Cosgroves I had landed back from Amsterdam that very morning. Funny old world. | ||
