recap of the brute strength strong man III

first event arm over arm350#,sandbag load 200# and 300 powerstairs.

this event had been pretty good in training. rolled thru it with a time of 31 sec.. alot of guys didnt take time to set up the implements like they wanted and this cost valuable time , got 1st here.

2. press medley 115 circus dumbbell,200 axle,220 log,180 keg.

this didnt turn out like i wanted at all, they used a dumbbell different from the slaters,think it was bigg dogg strong,while it was a great implement i just couldnt find the right balance point for my left hand. took fourth on 3rd on this event enough said.

3.500 frame,500 yoke,500 tire flip

this again had been a great event in training. as fate would have it some yoyos had been picking up the frame and dropping it, in the end the broke a weld making it unsafe to use. they changed to using farmers handles. not real happy at all but it is what it is.

30′ into my run my hands slipped dropping the handles, they had used plsatic lockjaw collars on the handles so when they dropped the broke and plates went everywhere. things like this happen so i restarted where i dropped instead of redoing the run.everything else ran ok. after the event a friend who was video taping me showed the vid to me, at the drop he had 8 sec, the time keeper said he had 15 sec. this would have made a big difference in the placing.

4 last man standing axle deadlift starting at 400#

i felt good about the event pulled up to 525 with ease,but tore a callous, went to 550 but knowing i still had stones to do i passed. still gaining valuable points finished 2nd in this.

last event stones 207,225,250,300,330

platforms varied from 72″ to 46″ ran thru the stones in 31 sec. securing the win here

finished the day by missing out on the overall win by .5 of a point, so finished 2nd. best thing is i had an injury free day did the fastest stone set i have done in the last 12 months. and reall proved that my oxygen4energy works like a charm, felt fresh for every event and never got winded .

pumped west cary barbell with a bunch of guys at the contest. will have some pics posted soon

havent taken con-cret since last thursdays work out, just wanted to see what would happen after the layoff. i dont want to do this again, i felt my performance sucked! i was as mad as a breastfed baby in a manniquin factory. after squatting 550 last week i had 0 soreness my recovery was perfect and now i feel like i have been in detox for 30 days. if i have to take a second mortgage on my house i will not be without con-cret in my supplement scheme. i wont even post videos as i felt they were that bad.
