James said:50 euro is pretty steep in my book. If the venue costs so much why not find a cheaper/bigger one. Also if there are 28 competitors that's £1400! Don't get me wrong I know comps cost money to run, but I've never seen a price tag that high to compete. I thought sponsorship paid for a few costs? That's actually £1,159, which doesn't seem like a lot to hire any venue for a couple of days. As for sponsorship, I'm sure there will be sponsors, but what kind of opportunites really exist for them in u90 strongman? It's about as niche as you can get. | |||

James said:I'm gratefull that this is finally being put on, however, if we are paying for flights, accommodation and food, why is the entry fee so steep? Especially if its in a venue that isn't suitable for moving events? You think 50EUR is steep?? All I read on here from strongman competitors is either complaints about events, complaints about entry fees and how much it is going to cost for you to eat and travel and complaints about each other. You don't pay a membership fees to a federation and you all seem to expect to get events coaching for free. From what I can tell, a lot of promoters put on these comps for the love of the sport and make nothing from them. In some cases, it is clear that organizers lose money. What do you think a fair entry fee would be? | |||

newhybrid said: well i will be at a competition where others will be wearing both so it would seem silly not to. At your size / bodyweight you might find it hard to make depth with 200kg in that much kit. | |||

Post Edited: 16.01.2014 @ 15:36 PM by polkovnikostin Your PB squat is noted as 190kg at 100kg equipped. Are you sure you need briefs and a suit? Are you sure you need equipment at all?? | |||

Steve said: And if you work nights and sleep until the afternoon does that would mean you could never eat breakfast? Correct. | |||

| Not a fan of nor see the point of the 'orangutan patting the midget twins technique', the bar roll seems unneccessary and, has already been pointed out, make sure you pull with straight arms. Other than those minor issues, great lift, solidly executed. | |||

Funky_monkey said: Whose culture? What time would you define the morning as? 00:00am-11:59am? You can still have the listed items (pancakes, waffles, full English) whenever you want. Nothing stopping you from having these items typically eaten at 8:00am to 10:59am at another time. British culture (the one we both live in). I would define morning at sunrise to 11:59am (just like everyone else). Nothing stopping anyone eating breakfast foods at any time of day, but breakfast is a morning meal, regardless of the origins of the word's meaning and how you choose to interpret it in order to be pedantic. | |||

Martin1956 said:But if you want to do "international" comps, it's probably easier to achieve that with BDFPA. International in the very loosest sense of the word. England v Scotland v Wales v Belgium deosn't really count. | |||

billynomates said:It says the study was carried out on nurses, not women. It states that studies were carried on groups of active and inactive women and the results compared. I have assumed that all the nurses participating in the study were women, but I don't think this assumption is unreasonable, based on how the article has been written. | |||
