Pics: Stronger Than All strongman comp 3.19.05

Stronger Than All strongman comp was today in New Haven, CT. It turned out to be pretty big (national comp, not local) and had a big field. Had a fantastic time. CJ Murphy from TPS was the MC and did a great job. Here's some pics:

The venue was indoors and very big, well kept:





Local bench press champ Vinny Dizenzo (http://geocities.com/vincentdizenzo/) had a bench seminar before the comp. I thought it was invaluable. He is pretty well spoken and had insights into technique that I never knew even existed. Can't wait to try out some of his tips.





There were a ton of good sponsors with booths and product there, including Ironmind, TPS, Critical Bench, the Diesel crew, MHP, HOP and APT.

The Diesel crew's set up of grip tools:


Smitty doing some crazy grip stunt (so glad I got to see these guys in person finally!):


First event - Zercher Carry for 150 ft.:






Second event - Axle clean and press:

Before the event pro strongman Brad somethingorother did a one-handed snatch with the 2-inch Axle!








EF's very own Lord Suston:


The axles (with Murphy in the background):


Next was the 18" DL:




This guy reminded me of Crak, but strong.


Suston DLing 725 (at 198lb), which was more than 95% of the heavyweights did! (J-you are a crazy, cocky, strong, funyn dude - I love it!):


Medley (keg load and carry):

I only took this picture cause the girl on the left was very cute and Italian looking and competing and had a GREAT ass and I love her:









And goodies:

 
arer those apt or atp straps or whatever?

i've never used straps in my life, tell me how they are.

btw, how do they work actually... like are they just looped around the bar?

yes, APT straps. they had a booth there and sponsored the DL event. the straps that I got were not the kind that wrapped around the bar though, they were just regular wrist straps used for bench and OHP. but the other ones work just like you think, they wrap around the bar several times and help grip when pulling.
 
Wish I could have been there. Sounded and looks like it was a GREAT contest and hopefully a future place for AM and Pro Nationals!!!!

Didn't know that you knew Brad. Funny guy he is...and VERY strong.

definitely not a dumb question.

http://www.nastrongman.com/ is a good place to start. I think just talking to locals and on discussion boards is where I hear about them the most. there should be a local strongman "chapter" around you as well.

it was him.

To the BEST of my knowledge...Brad Pitt from MO is not a Pro Strongman. He holds the record for the light weight AM class in the log press for reps though I believe.
