Another Fun Kentucky Training Day (4-12-03) pics thread...

[b fold the truth]

Please, let me post ALL of the pics before you post on here...please. I have A LOT of them to post!!!!!

We did a lot of events that day...nearly everything that one could think of. I will post the pictures alphabetically by the person's name...

This is Sully19 I think. He is one of the top Teens in the United States right now...

 

[b fold the truth]

adaus10: What can I say about this guy...really shocked me. My mother said that this guy did everything and pushed himself so far that he nearly puked a few times. I like that. Definately has the potential to be good at this sport...and weigh well over 300 pounds!!!

310 Atlas Stone...

More of Adaus10:

Cheese had a great day...and helped me out a lot. Definately was good for entertainment the night before and the night after...and worked VERY hard that day. He might have been given the 'Heart Award' for the day...for sure. This man NEVER quits...EVER.

675 Tire

He fought the 1k tire for a LONG LONG LONG time...we ALL thought that he had it...

Getting the stone high up on his chest...

Fighting with the 345 stone for a LONG LONG time...never giving up till his body finally quit...

 

[b fold the truth]

More pics of Cheese...it was inspirational to see him...to be honest.

 

[b fold the truth]

And me...I had a decent day. I felt 'ok' at best but still did pretty well. I do feel that I can really push my body right now. I feel VERY athletic at the moment and because of a combination of several things I do not have any/much pain anywhere in my body at the moment. I also feel very light on my toes...

Missing the 415 stone again...lol

Racing BIG and FAST Mike on the Super Yoke...

The 1k tire...

Set a PR on the Conan's Wheel...but I think that I finished 2nd or 3rd out of everyone that did it that day.

 

[b fold the truth]

More...

Got and easy and raw 301 log press...felt like I could have done a double...'maybe' a triple.

 

[b fold the truth]

Big Hannibal... This guy...hardly said a word the entire weekend. Give him a lot of credit...he jumped right in there with the big boys who were the top amateurs in the US and tried THEIR weight. Believe it or not...he showed A LOT of potential.

 

[b fold the truth]

Project...worked HARD and did EVERY event I believe. With a little work on technique he could do MUCH better. He was definately taking time to study every event and do all that he could. Worked hard and really pushed himself a lot...

 

[b fold the truth]

Cuthbert did really well. This guy is VERY strong, especially for his size. Lots of fight in this man too. He shows LOTS of future talent...I think that he could definately be top 5 in the lightweights next year!!! EASILY!!!!

 

[b fold the truth]

Spatts. There were a lot of men who pushed themselves JUST to make sure that they beat her on a few events. Cheese was actually a little scared there for a while...

 

[b fold the truth]

brian747478 might have won the 'Most Improved' Award for sure... This guy has come a long way in a short period of time. I have known him since 1996 and we trained together for 4 years I believe. He has improved in EVERY aspect of strongman...and he is thick as can be. He is in better shape, MUCH stronger, and MUCH thicker. Impressive!!!!

Someone lit a fire under his tail on the stones...wow!!!

 

[b fold the truth]

Exodus...wow man...finally got to meet you. I was really shocked to see how big that you really are. You definately have a future in any sort of strength sport that you so choose. A little work in any direction and you could be good. Do you ever stop smiling???

 

[b fold the truth]

Yes...there WAS a race...a few of them actually.

Getting READY...

Taking a practice run...warming up... (pretty sure she jumped the gun anyway...)

Getting READY...AGAIN!!!! (she must be trying to break my concentration...

And there we go...

It was a photo finish.....!!!!!!

 

[b fold the truth]

Of course...Cheese and Hannibal had to race her... (cough's...she blew them away!!!).

Then...Project decided to race Cheese. Poor Cheese. My mother then told Cheese that she would get my father out of the house so he can race him...(my father walks with a cane)

 

[b fold the truth]

For anyone who has never been involved in Strongman...THIS is what Strongman is all about. It is about fun, laughter, and friendships. It is about watching someone do something and NEVER quit...and it makes you get up out of your seat and yell for them. Size doesn't matter and neither does strength level...intensity, desire, and heart matter most.

Here is Strongman...

 

[b fold the truth]

Continued...

 

[b fold the truth]

I want to say thanks to everyone who was a part of the Kentucky Training Day. I truly hope that there are many more to come and the friendships continue to grow as much as the knowledge is shared.

I will post video clips in a day or two as I am still waiting for a few more clips to arrive.

Enjoy...and see you next time.

[leatherface]

Truely amazing! I would love to participate in that one day. Congratulations to everyone that went for the intense training day and that set new PR's. Hope you guys(and girls ) had fun!

 

[Zander1983]

Great stuff guys!

 

[spatts]

We didn't get a pic of the finish line in the ACTUAL race (just the funny staged one), but B beat me fair and square...even if it was by just a chest hair.

I'm comin' after you, man!

 

[TheProject]

I dunno, I was the finish line for the actual race, and I'm still not sure I could call an actual winner.

Great pics, Clint...I'll get some video links to you soon.



Oh, and by the way...there's nothing like standing at the end of the driveway with these two running at you full speed. It was like staring down a freight train. They both came towards the middle, and I thought I was gonna go flying.

 

[ConstantChange]

Looks like an amazing time. Thank you for posting the pics B.

Thank you to everyone else as well who competed and showed us what strongman is all about!

 

[DrBones]

It is possible that we could have another Kentucky Training Day mid/late Summer. I plan to be here till August (when I graduate). From there, I am not for sure where I will be. There is a good chance that I will move overseas for quite some time.

If everyone can start looking at their schedules now...I can start planning another training day...

I have nothing formal planned after Memorial Day until September. (Son's 1st B-Day.) Let me know when and I will book the plane tickets.

You have nice hotels nearby? The hotel has a big impact as to how many of my family will join me.

I'm gonna start getting ready now.......

I believe that the motel here was $42.90 including tax for those who came in. Nice motel? NO!!!! It was the ONLY thing with rooms available, it was clean, and it was cheap.

There is an Amerihost Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Days Inn, etc... Must be before August though.

Hey, it was comfy, and had a very old-fashioned feel to it.

I have no complaints at all about the hotel. It has character.

Just talked to my wife tonight. I will be there for sure. She is deciding whether or not she and my son will join us. I am hoping she will, but we'll see.

I am not near as picky about hotels as she is. But, that's why I love her.....

The pics don't do any of the guys (and gals) and justice. They were huge, when I walked up I knew I was in over my head!!! They have all put in a lot of hard work and it definately shows, they should all be very proud!!!

Thanks man...you were looking pretty lean yourself...

B True

 

[spatts]

Grants...I was standing there, but didn't really get a word in edgewise. Sorry you couldn't stick around to play. Maybe next time.

Like B said, you looked so lean, and it was very obvious that you train.

Don't have to be big to be strong...alot of it's in your head.

[spatts]

Cuthbert, I frequently referred to you as "the sleeper" this weekend. Generally reserved as a term for a car that looks like it's not a "hot shot" until you start to race it, then find out it's STACKED under the hood, and it blows the big, flashy, roaring car away.

You are a "sleeper" in this sport.

 

[Cuthbert]

Spatts..... thank you.

Don't know what more to say to that.

Cuthbert

 

[Exodus]

Yeah this was one of the best weekends i have ever had. B fold and Cheese both warned me, now i think it actually happend. i might have just gotten a bite from the strongman bug. i am so psyched about getting into this training. i already have been online pricing different equip. i even went to that jackaylsgym.com that b fold told me to check out to look up support gear. Adaus10 is still getting ready for the bb show in june and august. but after that we will both be training together. i may get a tire before then and start getting ready.

i dont think i will compete at the music city strongman, but B fold email the info on it incase i decide to give it a go.

but thanks to everyone who was there that encouraged me and adam......... you didnt treat us any different, just kept on yelling for us to keep pushing. ( although we did tease adam a little bit at dinner time.)

thanks again,

X

 

[RusPA81]

Looks like a great time. I wish that I could have been there.
