AllonsY! Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Wound up taking the silver because the other guy was lighter. This was a <200# weight class. We had four events:Atlas stones- max reps in 60sec of 205# & 240# stones I got two - this was my worst eventAxle Clean & Press- max reps in 60 sex of 195# I won this event; 5 reps (would have been 6 but by first was a no-rep because I didn't wait for the judge to signal me to drop)Farmer Carry- 100ft total (50ft around a keg & back) I won this even too- 35.3 seconds. I would have been a touch faster but I dropped about 6 inches from the finish.Sled Medley- 3 minute cap. Sprint with one odd object at a time for 50ft (keg 160#, ammo box with weights & plates 140#, 100# dumbbell & 75# dumbbell) then push a 325# sled 50ft.I came in 2nd for this one. There was almost no traction in the warehouse we were competing in. I had a blast and this was my first competition. I'm certainly going to do more stone work and stomp it next time! I want to be like Link with the Master Glove- throwing huge stones! I was even more happy with all this because 5 days previous I'd pinched my shoulder and was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to compete. Talk about a major thrill! Drank all the health potion I could and rehab'ed like crazy!

AllonsY! Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 How much weight is on that farmer carry? That's awesome, congrats. The carry was 450, so 225 each hand. I was especially nervous about that one. I'd done a tiny bit of training on a rocky surface and had not been able to make the turn. I was pretty stoked to do so well!

I don't think I'd have the grip strength for that, 385 DL rolls out of my hands after 2 reps and I have to go mixed any higher.

My grip is about the same and I think you have a higher DL than me (my 1RM is 455). The neutral grip makes it much better than a standard dead.

Guest Dirty Deads Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Nicely done! I don't think I could handle the farmer's either. Not from the weight, but my left foot is flat so I wobble when I walk lol. Once those things get swinging you're screwed. Quote Link to comment
