Hello Everyone,
Hope all is well with you.
My next strongman competition is The Monsters Of The
Midwest on December 6, in St. Louis, MO. This is a
North American Strongman Society (N.A.S.S.) Platimum
level contest, with the winner getting his pro card,
so the competition should be fierce.
The five events are:
1) 800 lb. Super Yoke, 50 ft. (1 set down)
2) Max Log Clean & Press (3 attempts)
3) 280 lb. Farmer's Walk, 80 ft., 1 turn (no set
downs)
4) Stones, 240, 260, 300, 330, and 360 lbs. (all 44"
platforms)
5) 500 lb. Deadlift for reps (60 sec. time limit)
My training partner, Dave Ostlund (one of the best
amateur strongmen in the nation), and I are focusing
on getting better at these 5 events. (See pictures of
us training Super Yoke below.)
I am very excited about this competition and I will
let you know how I do.
Take care and stay in touch.
