 knock knock !! who's there ?? OLD SCHOOL SUGDEN Member 212, 11439 posts SQ 325, BP 212.5, DL 370907.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I would like to thank everybody for all the P.Ms emails and Facebook abuse . It's clear that this competition is going to be extremely popular . Entry details will be released around December . I think that this may well be the closest we come to finding a clear ranking table in the Uk next year . Sure if your considered into my "Pro" automatic selection into Sundays final then you'll be fresh BUT if there are some up and coming superstars out there then a few events on Saturday shouldn't effect your ability to do some "Scalping" of the big boys on the Sunday. I don't want to reveal too much about our finalists but if you do make it to the Sunday event then you'll be up against at least 4 Worlds Strongest Man competitors .. Any questions - Then Fire away .. Mark Clegg | ||

 Drugs cheat Member 3860, 630 posts SQ 335, BP 210, DL 330875.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Am I right in thinking the 8 elite invited athletes will not have to go through the qualifying process on the saturday and will be fresh as a daisy for the sunday event?????? Having asked that question im looking at this as my debute into strongman, if however it doesnt clash with any PL dates for next year. It looks good you could of added squats into it as its my favourite event.  | ||

Everyone else will have to qualify and run heats, quarterfinals the day before and simifinals on the day so they are clearly at a dissadvantage in the final. Cool. | ||

Other athletes will be 'in the groove' already tho. Could be an advantage. | ||

By markclegg at 2012-04-24 Day 1 - Qualification Day .. This is open to any athlete what ever your nationality, age, standard or bodyweight everyone is invited to this qualification event ... you say its open to any bodyweight but a 73kg guy like like couldnt deadlift 300kg, are the weights going to be lower to whatever the person can lift??? obviously with lowering the weights your not going to qualify but i would like to have a bash at the comp to gain some experience. | ||

That's not really how strongman works buddy. The weights tend to be set, then you're either strong enough or not. I wouldn't look at this comp if I were you, this is going to be full of a lot of really top guys. I've qualified for 2 ESM finals and pull 320kg, and I'm going to get my ass kicked at this if the line up is who I expect it to be! I'd look to start getting some events training under your belt and look towards a novice comp. | ||
