I personally think the tire flip is a crap event to watch! Just bored with it I guess!

Agree with people on the grip type events! They are really crap for crowds IMO, all you get is someone standing there, then a bit of shaking, then a stupid face! same from every person!

My least favourite to do is probably probably squat for reps, 1 cause I am a crap squatter and 2 because it just f**ks you for the rest of the contest!

I love the yoke too.

Overhead is by far my worst event but the more I train it the more I like it, obviously don't like it when its for reps and I can't get one though. None I really dislike, but least favourite is probably natural stone overhead - just worries me having a dodgy shoulder!

Tyre is great as part of a medley IMO, 3-4 flips then say heavy farmers

but your right, as a 7-8 flip event on its own its pretty tiresome (for spectators)

Arm over arm is one of the greatest strongman events IMO, should be in more comps

Yeah love arm over arm! It is quick & spectators love seeing trucks, boats etc being pulled along by a mere human.
Its got that wow factor I think.........

I need bigger shoulders to begin liking the yoke...with a thick crossbar type yoke I haven't got much meat to rest it on!

I've only tried 200kg yoke and I had shooting pains in my legs for at least a week after. Not a big fan really.

I find yoke very uncomfortable on my upper vertebrae. I use an unusual arm positioning to ease the pressure a bit.
