i just read these on diesel and it got me all excited...man i feel like a kid waitin on christmas....i cant wait...if this contest aint a gut check i dont know what is...

Nothing final yet, hence all of this is subject to change. Here is a rough idea:

Fingal Finger - ?
Tire - 800P/H, 700M, 650L, 500W
Power Stairs implement - 475H, 425M, 375L, 225W
FW - 365P, 325H, 300M, 275L, 200W
Keg will be a standard keg for all groups.

For the pros, top 12 will likely move on
for amatuers, everyone does the first 4 event. The top 10 will move on to Conan's Wheel and Stones.

Conan's Wheel - 700P, 660H, 600M, 550L

Herc Hold - TBA

Stones - P= 265-420 (6 total), H= 242-370 (6 stones), M= 220-330, L=same as Middle.

Boxes are 64-44" with 4" drops / box



I CANT WAITTTTTTTTTT!!!

No kidding. I plan to make this my return...and the Pro's use 365's. Remember...NO drops either. Once you sit them down once...you are done.

That contest is not for the weak of mind or body. Ouch. Time to make a statement.

That 365 farmers scares me. 200' is a long way.
The Conan's wheel, I will be ok I think.
Medley...will be exciting.
Hercules Hold will be VERY heavy too, anthing over 10 seconds will probably be a good time for me.
Stones, I'll do solid at.
Keg toss...who knows.

B True
 
What's the depth of the competition like in the LWs? Under 200 is quite a big weight class... I can imagine there would be some incredibly strong athletes, pound for pound.

he hasnt posted them yet..i check his site and board everyday..so soon as i know ill let ya know

zander...from what i understand it will be the best in the country..VERY tough competition..and there will be no cap on number of entries this year bc amateurs are on separate day(sunday). lordsuston will prolly be there if that gives u any idea of the caliber of ppl i will be against and so far he's the strongest 200lb i've seen that will be there bc pitt said he wont do boston again.
 
well by then i better be able to get the 220 to the high platform...other than that guess the 275 farmers are gonna be the toughest part. yea 200' is a long way.

I think if I actually trained to do farmers walks with that kind of weight for that distance my weight would have to go up by at least 20 pounds. I don't know how the small guys can get so strong with such low bodyweights.

I'd happily put myself to the slaughter against Suston, lol. You guys are very lucky :)
 
Are those weights on the higher end, or pretty standard anymore?

Seems like these are far heavier than any other contest I've seen advertised. I mean I know it's nationals, but still......
I think the last WSM I saw used a 550lbs tire and 275lbs farmers. (I think...)

King> The contest I am planinng to enter next year, the first stone (200lbs) goes to a 72" platform.:D


Just curious,

cc: the contest is feb 7 for pros and 8 for ams

joker..from what ive seen this is the heaviest contest of the yr..i havent seen any with events this intense..thats why i think its such a gut check

It is VERY intense...and they are supreme athletes. This contest will be a test of guts and balls...that is for sure. It scares me to think about it.

The contest is 1st week in Feb I believe.

what's the deal man. how come everyone rags on me??? I din't win my last comp, due to technique and inexperience. Let me remind you strength is not enough, it takes explosive power, speed, endurance, will and most importantly skill

Yea man you're pretty weak
 
rags you? not ragging u man if ur refering to me and i'm aware that i takes more than strength and what i seen in you at ky wasnt just brute strength...you had the heart and willpower to never quit and i think thats more important than any..if u dont have that u have nothing....and boston will require alot of endurance..im sure.

Thanks god I was able to get a 750lbs tire....*LOL*
 
Suston doesnt realize that dumbell curls with pink dumbells dont always translate to big deadlift. I think he has much to learn

I'm gonna get the 750 for 80ft, I swear it!!!:D
 
B fold- you will succeed because you can't fail. You won't, and I won't let you... Fear or excitement- it is the same untill comp time then you can let your actions dictate your response.

revex- the point is brute strength only got me so far, 13 reps on a viking press with 200lbs, and technique got me 18reps with 225lbs

everyone works hard to compete. Think about how easy it is to go through the motions and walk the well-trodden path. All the hours I spend, sweating, bleeding, puking, alone, beaten, sore, shunned is what I pay for tougher path. In the end when I am out there competing there is no quit cause all i have sacrificed, anything less than 100% would mean my honor, integrity, and hard-work were worthless. I would be hypocrit and a coward
 
very well put ls...your right anyone can go through the motions...but the fun part is see just how far you can push your body past a point where you never thought you would get through all the pain till you have nothing left in you.

800 for 100' - NOPE

Puking - Yup!!!!

Nick Winters sure had a front row seatr for that one, along with Linder. lolololoolol

I feel you man
 
i envy the grip of a strongman. but i will probably never take the time to train it, i love my hooks. im worried i would get carpal tunnel syndrome. i cant imagine 365 in each hand with no wraps or hooks
 
jesus...why are those weights so much???

other contest weights arent nearly as heavy

good luck king, you are gonna tear shit up

It scares off a lot of people.

All year people will post on the internet that the strongman events are not heavy enough and that it is a foot race...and they would like to compete in a HEAVY contest. They always make an excuse as to why they couldn't go to Boston though...

I've met several. People complain that Strongman doesn't test strength. What a load of crap. Most humans can not pick up a pair of 365 pound farmers...much less run with them for 200'. And a 400+ pound atlas stone...naa...not heavy either.
