Quest for a second state championship

[Strongman Ian]

I won the 2013 Maryland's Strongest Man title last November for the 200 class, and now I'm shooting for Pennsylvania this September. I have long arms so my overhead isn't great, but it helps with deadlift, farmers, and stones. Here's my current stats. I'll update them as I progress.

Max overhead: 295
Max deadlift: 560
Max 16" deadlift: 675
Max axle C&P: 265
Max log: 245
Max monster dumbbell: 170
Max farmers: 320/hand for 50 feet
Max yoke: 800 for 50 feet
Max stone: 360 over a 52" bar

Overhead press PR. Pressing is by far my weakest area, so this is huge for me.

Nothing as of yet, my logs going smoothly so no complaints on my end

 

[Strongman Ian]

Just found out the events for Pennsylvania's Strongest Man. They are as follows, in no particular order as of yet:
Press medley: log, axle, dumbbell, keg (no weights set)
Keg toss
Car deadlift
Caber carry ( basically get a caber upright in your hands and carry it 80 feet without dropping it)
Fire truck pull (harness)

Let the training begin!

 

[Strongman Ian]

I was training 16" deadlift in anticipation of a hummer tire event in Pennsylvania's Strongest Man this September. Just found out it will be car deadlift though. Oh well. Progress all the same.
