 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | There are five events in the competition where athletes strength, speed, agility, endurance and mental toughness are measured in different ways: http://www.sugdenbarbell.co.uk/uploads/misc/sugdens-strongest-... 1. Deadlift INDOOR Bar will start at 200 and rise in 10kg increments. We will see some athletes pulling 300kg, that is 660 pounds off the floor! This event will be the perfect test of each athlete's static strength, with many of them planning to crush their existing PBs. http://www.sugdenbarbell.co.uk/uploads/misc/sugdens-strongest-... 2. Log lift INDOOR The athletes have to lift a thick log from floor to overhead. The weight starts at 80kg - thats more than normal persons bodyweight - and the weight will be increased till there is only one standing. We will see some of the athletes pressing 130kg overhead with this massive thick imposing log. http://www.sugdenbarbell.co.uk/uploads/misc/sugdens-strongest-... 3. Farmers Walk OUTDOOR For the third event, athletes must carry 130kg for around the length of the course as far as they can. And that's 130kg per hand, 260kg in total. The vast majority of people cant even pick half of that weight up, these guys need to not only pick it up, but walk with them as far as they possibly can before their grip, core, lungs and legs give up. http://www.sugdenbarbell.co.uk/uploads/misc/sugdens-strongest-... 4. Yoke Walk OUTDOOR This is the event where athletes have to carry the weight on their shoulders in a frame. 300kg is the weight - yes that's right - 660 back breaking, lung crushing, leg destroying pounds. The athletes not only have to stand up with it, but have to carry it for 20 metres. The fastest time will win, but many won't even be able to finish the course. http://www.sugdenbarbell.co.uk/uploads/misc/sugdens-strongest-... 5. Atlas Stones OUTDOOR For the final round, we will have one of the classic strongman events - the atlas stones! The athletes will need to lift a massive round stone from the floor over a height set at 56 inches as many times as they can in a given time limit. trategy comes into play in this event as the athletes have to decide before the event starts are they going to use the 105kg or the 140kg stone. This is the brute strength event of the day, the ultimate test of overall determination. Expect to see blood sweat and tears - literally! | ||
