B-Fold,
Sounds like the UB Beer Olympics. We used to do it in college. Our annual drink and eat as much as we can. Then try to throw the kegs as far as we can. Then at eachother. Then fight eachother. Then all dissapear to do our thing with our ladies. Brought back some memories. Thanx man.

Strongman rocks because its as primative as you can get without crossing any "social boundaries". Keep it up man.

Being a newbie, it's probably not a great idea to fuck with a very well-liked long standing member of this board... BFold is a COMPETITOR, in strongman, and one of the strongest guys around the circuit... A few guys from my gym know/met him at comps and he is a good guy... Until you post pics, prove your physique, and show your strength and knowledge, LIKE HE HAS, you should shut the fuck up....
 
typical strongman competition consists of six events. The first three
events are used to qualify eight finalists for the last three events. There
are about fifteen different events established so far. The promoter of a
particular competition chooses from among these. Many of these events are
adopted from traditional, centuries old contests like Scottish Highland
Games and the Basque contests in Spain. Variations of regular powerlifts are
used to test pure strength.

The composition of competitions must vary to prevent favoring certain (types
of) competitors. For example, if you have two pressing events, you make it
easier for Olympic lifters and powerlifters. Qualifying heats must be
arranged if there are many competitors. Usually 10-15 men are invited to
compete in a regular competition, as a larger number would make the
competition unbearably long. In major contests like World's Strongest Man,
qualifying heats and final heats are held on separate days. Some of the
most common events are:

*Farmer's Walk -- Competitors carry heavy "suitcases" weighing about 110 kg
(245 lbs) in each hand for a set distance, and compete for the fastest time.
Otherwise, they compete for total distance.

*Car Walk -- Distance event. A car with roof and floor removed is carried
with harnesses as far as possible. Usually the load is around 350-400 kg
(775-880 lbs). A Finnish invention.

*Loading -- Timed event. Five heavy objects weighting 100-150 kg (220-335
lbs) are loaded onto a truck bed or onto some kind of platform. The course
is about 15 m (50 ft) long and the objects range from treasure chests, to
sacks of sand, to ship anchors.

*McGlashen Stones -- Timed event. Five heavy round stones weighing 110-150
kg (220-335 lbs) are put on top of high barrels. The course is about 5-10 m
(16-33 ft) long. Scottish tradition.

*Truck Pulling -- Timed event. A heavy vehicle is pulled across a
"finish-line" hand-over-hand style with a 30 m (100 ft) rope as fast as
possible. Sometimes the vehicle is pulled with a harness.

*Log-Press / Stone-Press -- Strength event. Heaviest possible load is
pressed overhead or lighter weight is done for repetitions.

*Hercules Hold -- Timed event. A competitor stands in a cable-cross-type
machine with 130 kg (290 lb) weighted cable handles in each hand. Grip
strength is tested for time.

*Stone Lift -- Strength event. Heaviest possible stone is lifted to
shoulder height. From the Basque tradition.

*Log Throw / Caber toss -- Strength event. A five meter long log is thrown
for distance or for height over a bar. The distance throw is from the
Scottish tradition.

*Weight throw -- Strength event. A 15-20 kg (33-45 lb) weight, usually a
large ingot, is thrown for height over a bar.

*Tug of War -- One on one tug of war in a single-elimination tournament.
Competitors pair-off based on their current point standings.

*Pole Pushing -- One on one pole pushing in a Sumo-style ring in a
single-elimination tournament. The pole has handles at either end.

*Crucifix -- Weights are held straight out at the sides for time.

*Car Rolling -- Rolling cars over different courses.

*Variations on individual powerlifts. For example, squatting a platform
full of children on rails.

*Every year the best promoters invent new events that are exciting and
hopefully pose less risk of injury to the athletes in this demanding sport.
One of these was last years "bleacher wheelbarrow" filled with people.

B Fold is one of the most respected and well-liked members of this board. You have no right to come on here and trash him or his character. You made a post on another thread doing the same thing. He has proven himself time and time again as a strongman, a competitor, a friend, and an all around great guy. You have done nothing of the kind, and I don't think you will. You have no footing or basis for your comments, so cut the crap.

Thanks for the back up. BTW, I'm good. Just chillin'. How about you?
 
Corey from Massachusetts? I don't remember him. I remember a guy pressing a log for those reps...wait...it was a pretty big dude right? My memory may be serving me incorrectly, but that was the only event that he won, right? Shoot...I can't think. I've been up too long.

B true was talking about the Corey St. Clair from Oregon (didn't know he was from Idaho)...

Right, he took 5th in super-heavy, and 10th overall. He's about 5'9"/290 dark-skinned porteguese kid... Different Corey... B also met the teen strongman champion Kevin who also goes to my gym... Corey's real name is Carlos, Corey for short...

Bfold asked to keep HIS thread positive, so I will... However, if you want to start another thread in order to put all us dummies "in our place", please feel free, jagoff...

As far as you "giving him some shit", as you put it, he probably did just let it roll off his back, because that's the kind of person he is. However, where I come from, if you're friends with someone, it's ok to break balls. But if some random jerkoff (you) comes in and just starts breaking balls on someone they don't even know, usually said jerkoff ends up spitting teeth.

You're new here, so you should not come at people like you've known them your whole life. In other words, don't be that guy that pisses everyone off...

Sorry Clint, I certianly didn't mean to turn your thread to shit, some people are just aggravating jackasses, I'm sure you understand.... That said, back to singing the praises of the strongman :D
 
B_Mudd_Ostaff said:
Im going to ignore the assinine "spitting teeth" threat from mr internet tough guy and say that yes indeedy, strongman is cool.

I in no way threatened you.... I stated what usually happens where I come from... Read my post again. You don't know anyone here, so you shouldn't break balls, that was the message. I never make threats on the net, as that is extremely ignorant. I agree, strongman is cool... 'nuff said.

First off, it's silly to make threats on an internet chat board. Second of all, I have never been one to stand by when someone tries to start some crap with someone I care about. Accept that. Lastly, if you think " you can put me in my place", then go for it. Your pathetic attempt at trying to scare me failed miserably. However, if you intend to try, do it on another thread. THe shit you started has taken away from Strongman enough.

(Sorry Clint, I had to say something.)

Good grief you are one dumb broad. The "putting you in your place" comment was obvious sarcasm, I have no desire to try and match wits with some dumb slit on the internet. I just thought it was funny how you had to flap your gums even after bfold tried to steer the thread back on topic...way to torpedo the thread phathead!
