youngy said:This comp is still looking CRACKPIPE HEAVY and its fast approaching. 8 weeks on saturday.

ITRG said:
youngy what do you thinks to heavy??
think i'll be able to do eveything apart from the log just now but in 8 weeks that will get owned as well lol

buzz said:Should we take the log down to 90? Looking at that list, not that many will get a rep at 100. 90 is still bw, and very respectable. Thoughts?

Event 1 - Strength Shop sponsored Log Press
100kg log press for reps. 75 seconds, floor to overhead. Using the new wooden logs

This is heavy! My max is 85kg. Just can't get to grips with the thing and then its going to be on a possibly unbalanced wooden log.

Event 2 - Ultimate Grip sponsored Farmers Walk
110kg farmers for 40m, turn at 20m. 75 second time limit. Drops are fine.

This should be okay actually. I will beat drew

Event 3 - Unit Supplements sponsored Loading medley
115kg stone, 120kg keg, wooden log (as in stumpy log/tree stump and not a pressing log), 100kg sandbag, 240kg chain. First 4 objects will be to 44", and the chain to a lower platform of around 12" or so. 90 second time limit.

To start off I havent lifted a 115kg stone to 1" nevermind 44".

Event 4 - Arm over arm - 300kg sled for 15m.

Never done this one, don't really know what to expect

Event 5 - Fingals Finger for reps in 75 seconds. Weight to be confirmed.

Will this even be in the final events list?

Event 6 - 200kg axle deadlift for reps, full range. 75 seconds. No straps. Suits most likely ok as it's a national comp, but to be confirmed.

This.. Who can hold onto 200kg axles? I haven't tried this as my axle is at the unit but I'm in no rush to get it back and try it!

You would say that, wouldn't you!!

buzz said:Lol! Get to the f**king unit and start training Youngster!! Or at least have a dream about a run through of the events!

Wooden log is perfectly balanced, so should be easier than steel log. Finger and loading, we might have to re-assess these!
