I could tell that I was a little out of practice on the events. My strength has gone up for sure, I just need to get back into the swing of things and work on a few of them.

EVERYONE did an amazing job this weekend and not a single person EVER quit!!!!

brian747478' had a good day and worked hard on EVERYTHING and has gotten bigger and stronger since last time.

Zach has LOTS of potential. He could EASILY weigh 300+ pounds and be very strong both at powerlifting and strongman!!!

Aaron and Cheese look a lot a like..hehe. Both of them can scratch their knees without bending over at all. He is going to be a force in the world of strongman as he gets bigger and stronger!!!

Time for some pics...please be patient and let me load them.

A very exhausting, but fun day. I enjoyed meeting and training with everyone and learned a lot. This was my first time doing the events. Very tough, but very fun.

He is going to be a force in the world of strongman as he gets bigger and stronger!!!

They both have the longest arms in the world.

Cheese was Cheese...as usual. Funny guy...

 

[jeremys]

looks like a hell of a lot of fun. i wonder what the neighbors were thinking. lol

 

[gettinlarger]

Yeah, looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Excellent pics. Nice job on your PRs, B.

What is the rolling thunder? Like, what does the exercise consist of?

 

[b fold the truth]

Watch this one and see if you can tell what is ABOUT to happen...lol

Yoke and Flip

Ryan has one of the strongest backs I have ever seen. At the spurr of the moment he did a pling contest last weekend and barely missed 420 bench, got 675 squat and a 700 deadlift. He weighed in at 241 and was under 225 at Nationals in October. He pulled 400 x 20 that day.

Ryan doing High pulls with 315

When he gets his overhead strength to catch up with everything else, he will be a huge force. He is one of the top lightweights in the country.

What is the rolling thunder? Like, what does the exercise consist of?

Rolling Thunder:

The grip is thick and it is a revolving grip, so the hard part is gripping it.

What is the rolling thunder? Like, what does the exercise consist of?

The rolling thunder is a revolving 2 3/8" handle that is slick. As you pick it up the handle "rolls and revolves" in your hands. You have to have a strong grip to do these...and big hands.

I figured that was it. I wasn't sure if it was a timed hold or whatever.
