Elephant Bar Deadlift
Frame Carry

Saturday, March 2 @ Noon
Dinnie Stone Carry
Apollon Wheels
Stone Medley


Should see three, maybe 4 pull over 1k on the deadlift. Thor is the favorite with probably Bobby Thompson 2nd and Hooper 3rd.

Frame carry has historically been near impossible for most to finish. Last year I think only 3 finished. This has usually been the last event so might see more finish as they will be fresher. Very likely to see a WR set on this by Hooper or Kieliszkowski.

Dinnies will probably be Hooper and Evans as 1 and 2.

Apollon Wheels - 180KG axel clean and press AMRAP for 2 minutes. WR is I believe 4. I expect Hooper to hit 5. Thompson, Licis, Stoltman, Evan and Kieliszkowski will all be in the 3-4 rep range.

Stone Medley: Kieliszkowski has this in the bag. Good chance he is the only one to finish. For the last leg it is the tombstone to shoulder AMRAP and Kieliszkowski is the only one to ever do more than two. His record is 5.

Does Thor still have the power after losing so much weight for his boxing foray? I don't know how easily or quickly the strength goes and comes back with guys like that.

And no Brian Shaw? What's up with that? (note: I don't keep up with the latest strongman news)

he is back up to 196KG. All his deadlift strength is back, He pulled 1k in training a month ago.

His weakness right know is overhead. He tore his peck last year.

He retired last year.

Well that sucks. I really liked that guy....he's the softest spoken, most gentle giant strong man in the history of the world

I mis-read that....

Some of these guys are really big.

They are coming down in size now. Most of the big names are in the low-mid 300s now vs the upper 300-400's.

Thor and Tom Stoltman are the only really big guys of the elite strongmen.

Do they still have the Worlds Strongest Man competition where they pull trucks or lift refrigerators? Magnús Ver Magnússon was legend back in the day.

Bunch of dudes with small meat

Yep, its a full on serious competition now. They don't do the really whacky shit anymore but they do have fun with the design of the implements. Example is the Yoke Carry has a car shell around it so it looks like they are Fred Flinststoning it down the course.

Did they all get their Peptide shots?

probably, along with everything else
