Here are the vids from the strongman I was in over the weekend. I was the smallest guy out of the 6 heavyweights, weighing in around 252lbs, everyone else was 300+lbs. Friday before the event I was throwing up sick, and only could sleep about 3-4 hours Friday night. Woke up Saturday morning and felt ill so I skipped breakfast. I was running on empty the entire competition, eating no food all day, and still pulled out 3rd place.

Dummy Drag: Invalid Link Removed
Overhead Press: Invalid Link Removed (it was not required to lock out, just had to go above your head and below your chin to count as a rep, this was the last event and I was exhausted)
Sandbag Carry: Invalid Link Removed
Farmer's Walk: Invalid Link Removed
Tire Flip: Invalid Link Removed

The events were in the following order: Farmers Walk, Tire Flip, Dummy Drag, Sandbag Carry, and Overhead Press. My most impressive event was the tire flip where I flipped a 960lb tire 7 times in 60 seconds.

Thank you to everyone that supported me and kept me in their prayers and thoughts.

That looks like a lot of fun. Congrats on 3rd. How much weight on the overhead press?

It was 185lbs.. was originally going to be 225lbs but for some unknown reason they changed it...dont know why. I kinda wish it would have been more, but the lower weight classes did 135lbs, and I assume because they wanted to give a more level playing field. I'm going to be responsible for the next one so the weights WILL be going up and things changed in some of the events to pure strength rather than cardio stuff like the dummy drag and sandbag carry were.
 
Congrats homie. Lookin' strong. That overhead press for 20+ reps was pretty impressive.

Sweet stuff! How much were the farmer implements? You make that big ass tire look small. The one I flip is 450 (i think) and it makes me look small.

They were 200-205lbs each.. 180lbs in plates and I believe the bars are 20-25lbs each. I have an even bigger tire sitting in my driveway that I practice with just for that event, I always make sure to go heavier than what the events are going to be so that I know I can do well on them, I guess that holds true even when sick lol...

see I was disappointed in that lift for me.. I can do more, but was so worn down from being sick and not eating all I could muster out was 21... I can do 30+ on a good day, especially those little pitter patter reps they had us doing.

Anyways, I have another comp on the 19th of this month and then I'm going back to a BB'ing routine to cut up for my wedding in Nov.

pretty much all of our friends are married so I doubt there will be but 1-2 single women there honestly lol.. Should be a good time though, gotta get shredded for the pictures, Layne N. is one of my groomsmen and pretty much everyone in the wedding loves lifting, so we are going to get some most muscular shots of all of us.
