Motivating Clips...

[b fold the truth]

I will delete these by the weekend. Large files and people watching them over and over is killing my bandwidth on my site.

Please SAVE these to your computer and do not watch them over and over from my website...

These are a few clips that I took with my camera at the 2002 Pro Strongman Nationals.

1st Event: Axle Press for reps in 75 seconds. 300 pounds, 2 3/8" bar, non-revolving, partial pull from the ground, bar must go below the chin. Notice that Magnus Ver Magnusson was the ref on Jesse and Schoonie's side.

Jesse Marunde getting 14 (or 15 maybe) in 75 seconds (2nd place)

Schoonie axle

Johnny Perry getting 8 reps...about 6-8th place, think he was 6'6" and 390 here...
Perry axle

2nd Event: Partial Deadlift from 15" for max weight, 5 attempts allowed.

Jared Spybrook, 5'10" 265 pounds of fire...

780 PDL
2nd attempt miss

Art McDermott, 6', 260, 42 years old...with torn rotator cuffs. He is also a world class Highland Games athlete and has a lot of NCAA track and field experience.

800 PDL
840 I think...

Schoonie doing the Partial Deadlift. He had been working with Ed Coan for a while on his deadlift because it was horrible. He HAD to get this lift and it is the WORST deadlift I have EVER seen in my life!!!!
780-800 I think...

Karl Gillingham, 6'3" , 290, been to the Worlds 3x I think. His father is Brad Gillingham (All Pro NFL) and his brother is Wade Gillingham (IPF world champion a few time I believe in powerlifting). His other brother Wade Gillingham is also a Pro.

860 PDL

Pat McGettigan, 6'2", 300. I believe that he has also deadlifted 800 in a meet.

970 PDL, meet record, 1st place

I encourage everyone to go to the Pro Nationals this August 9th in St. Louis. It is a wonderful time

LOL. That DL looked painful by Schoonie. That just looks like it would kill your back and knees. Damn. Some strong dudes out there man. Thanks for the vids.

I like Perry's form on getting the Axle up to his chest...very efficient, no waste

 

[spatts]

Schoonie is something else...his wife is strong as an ox too, and as beautiful and nice as she is strong. She's quite an athlete.

Finer than a frog hair...

She was wearing a tank top and VERY short shorts with high heels all day. My dad couldn't stop taling about it...in between wiping the drool off of his chin...
