 Uk limbo dancing champion Member 2666, 6551 posts SQ 202, BP 170, DL 255627.0 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq | i thought the fitness name was to seperate it from the heavies @ arnolds. some good points in here. i dont think BSM needs to be any lighter but other lighter u80 comps can only be a good thing if theres interest. also 24 hour weigh ins i imagine will interest a lot more people (even im thinking about it  ) id also vote toward adapting the same or very similar rules as arnolds | ||

 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10449 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | I think as it's a new weight class bsm shouldn't be too heavy as a lighter comp would attract a larger field which would hopefully give rise to a need for qualifiers next year which means that bsm would then only have the best guys and therefore could have heavier events to keep up with the standard of the arnolds. Just my 2 cents | ||

 I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | shanejer said: If a 300 yoke and 300 prowler is cardio then I'm f**ked! And a 80 sandbag to 105 keg to 120kg loaded and then the wheelbarrow was equal to around 120 farmers I'd say . It was definatly heavy lol Definitely not a fitness comp then mate! | ||

 See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | imo 80s - higher rep events (reps in range of 6-10), including medleys, maybe multiple ones in a single comp, but the smaller guys can still shift weight 90s - heavier weights, slightly less reps (3 - 5) but alot of 90s are still very mobile and enjoy a fitness side to strongman, like the loading event we had at the u90s comp last month, was a test of fitness aswell as strength 105 - more weight rep range simular to 90s but heavier, less moving events, sticking to farmers or yoke rather than long loading races open - heavy weight, reps 1 - 3, heavy but short ranged moving events like yoke | ||

 vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | So why call it strongman fitness? lol Oh yeah, for market appeal... fair enough, confuses the issue a bit though. What happened on the final day of the comp' anyway? | ||

 I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq | 80s - higher rep events (reps in range of 6-10), including medleys, maybe multiple ones in a single comp, but the smaller guys can still shift weight + 1 that's ONE max weight event 90s - heavier weights, same set up 105 - even heavier weights open - heaviest weights Simple to me | ||

 Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25569 posts Administrator | my personal view is that the UK has adopted the u90's but the yankies the u80's ... obviously there is room for both here but the fields will be thinned out and i see the u90 being the domenant catagory with many more comps all very healthy for strongman though !! | ||
