gatormade Posts: 1,355 Joined: 2003/10/01	2007/02/24, 09:35 PM I competed in the Florida Strongman Championship. This was my first ever strong man competition so I had to compete in the Novice Open Division. The events in this order and my place: Keg lift - atlas stone format - 6th 24 sec and some change. Husefel stone - 50ft as fast as possible - 1st 4.84 flew through it Incline bench with metal log 205 lbs of weight - 4th with 20 great reps Seated arm over arm tire pull over 50 ft. They said it was like pulling a 500lb sled on grass. - 1st 19.81 Tire flip for 1 min 550lb tire- 1st with 16 flips Finished 1st with 52 points. Tied with another guy at 52 but because I won 3 to his 1 I won the the tie breaker. Good first effort now I plan to train for the big boy division. Oh, and I had no event training for this. I found out about it on Thursday morning. Thanks all!

gatormade Posts: 1,355 Joined: 2003/10/01	2007/03/04, 08:14 PM 3-4-07 We (my new training partners) did some implement training this afternoon. 1st we played around with a ton of different grip implements seeing which ones were toughest. 4 different odd objects. 2nd- We did farmers walk with homemade implents loaded with 200lbs each. Walked 50ft down and 50 ft back with said implements a few times. Worked on the turn. Just trying to get the feel. 3rd- Played with a homemade sled. 500 lbs on the sled. Varied pulling facing forward and backward. Several pulls here. 4th-worked with a chain yoke. Lots of sway. great for stability. 200lbs total. Just getting the feel. 5th- Placed a chain over a 20 ft high branch. It had blast strap type handles on each end. Then we did some pull-ups. Good day overall. Just getting the feel. 5 guys in our crew. We have viking press, 210lb atlas stone, 550lb tire, a log, and several other implements coming. I am going to call the water works place in town and try to get my hands on a fire hydrant.
