Hey All,

1) There will be an event change. The Keg for Height is definitely out. It will be replaced by a HEAVY static event (which was not present before). Look for a squat for reps in my Viking Press apparatus which I am looking to adapt. The other option is a deadlift for reps.
Therefore the events are:

Farmer's Walk
Squat for reps of Deadlift for reps
Medley
Hercules Hold
Conan's Wheel
Atlas Stones

2) The application will be out tonight or tomorrow. Look for it at the following sites.

www.highlandstrength.com
www.nastrongman.com
www.x-tremestrongman.com
www.samson-power.com
www.jacklesgym.com

Since the amateurs are going separate on days. I do not have to cap the amateur division numbers...within reason. I will follow shortly with hotel and detailed event information.

Stay healthy,

Art

Man that sucks.

Keg for height would have been cool... now if I compete I will just be DESTROYED by the time Conan's Wheel and stones come around...

This makes the competition even less appealing... where's the overhead? lol

I don't mind I hope it is squat for reps though. I wish he had the Viking press though

Hmm...wonder why he took the keg toss out?Seems like a good events,especially since there isnt any other overhead events.Dont sweat the squat too much King....if hes using the viking press some how to make the squat apparatus,it shouldnt be too tough.Think of ways you could make it easier,so that you are really using the best leverage,just like with the viking press
