Boston 2004 Events... Planning now...

[b fold the truth]

Art posted some ideas for what the events would be for the Boston show in February. Lord willing I will have a career beginning and be able to train properly as well as able to afford the trip.

The planning process starts now...:

Qualify:
1) Power Stairs (possibly as part of a medley, maybe with a yoke and tire first)

2) Heavy FW for 200' (375# each hand for pros -morning qualifier)

3) A Throwing event for height. (keg or 56# - "one vision" approach)

Finals:
4) Stones (Standard set up, 6 stones, 270-420, 4'-6' platforms)

5) The return of the Conan's Wheel

6) Hercules Hold (EXTREMELY heavy, probably 500-600 in each hand)

Sounds 'exciting' huh?

Sounds great!!

Are there any plans on building a power stairs unit?

b fold, PLEASE post the outline to your training when you are ready. I'd love to see your long-term plan of attack.

Are those just the Pro events or are the events the same for everyone? That Hercules hold sounds pretty rough.

now that sounds like fun

Jason, looks like the events are the same for ams as well.

louden_swain: No plans to build anything at all. Career, moving, money, and space will determine a lot.

Zander1983: I'll probably have a plan up within the week.

jasonaa97: The heavy ams can expect 300-325 farmers, stones VERY close if not the same, 400-500 pound hercules hold, 750 Conan's Wheel, 56 for height, and a puker medley.

LOL... glad I'm not a heavy!

Doesn't look like enough events to test overall strength. The qualifier is better than the final. I hate the fact that most of the events don't test max lowerbody strength.
