1ST Strongman Competition!!!!!!!

[kingc_79]

I was planning on goin to watch my first strongman comp june 14 in nashville b/c after workin out w/clint i was hooked. I thought i'd like to compete but not till at least next yr b/c weak. but he just talked me into entering it. I cant believe it. I"m gonna enter my first strongman comp in lightweight novice div. I just would like to be able to complete the events. i've only messed w/ tire once/farmer once just playin/log played w/one/ and never touched a yoke so i hope i do ok. anyways i'm just so syched about this. I've never competed in anything in my life. only 2 more event days till then too. gotta get busy. thanks clint. you are the man.

thanks alot man, workouts are fun, i just got a tire bout 800(cant flip yet) and gettin a 550 next week. just find a tire station that carries industrial size tires for earth movers and they will give u old ones, keeps them from havin to get em hauled off.
