Oh F*CK

[samurai69]

just gone and commited myself to a strongman competition (novices) at the ripe old age of 49 and a Half

90kg log
200kg deadlift
100kg farmers walk
250kg yoke
and
200kg squat frame

not sure if me knees will take it on half the events or if i have the strength for the others, but hey its near xmas and might as well do something, if i dont commit now it may never happen

its down at Rob Framptons "Strength Tech" gym

What's the date of the comp?

Log, deadlift & farmers I think you'll do quite easily. Yoke shouldn't be too much weight wise for you. I can see the squat playing havoc with your knees.

About time you did something instead of just having a go at me to do more & more

log is tough, going down to stregth tec this saturday to work on the log technique and try the squat frame out

plenty of pain killers before and after

deadlift should be ok, farmers if it was hold would be ok, but walking isnt that good because of knees, yoke at hat weight is not too difficult and squat well i have sqiuated 200kg before but not for a few yeasr, still leg press 3 or 4ookg so possible, not expecting much, just the chanxce to compete and gives me a goal to upp my training
