STL contest...

b fold the truth

Elite Strongman
Platinum
Well, I finished 1st in the 300lb weight class. I don't have all the times but I do have some good information about what all I did.

Super Yoke Walk
700lbs, 80 ft, 17 seconds

Farmers Walk
250 each, 22 seconds (best overall time of the day)

Log Press
240lbs, 10 reps

Tire Flip
600lb tire, 80 ft

Keg Load
5, 250lb kegs (sand/water) carry each 25ft and load into a truck bed

I finished 1st in the 300lb weight class. I was the youngest and lightest in my class also. I won all 5 events in my class and missed the overall heavyweight championship by 2 points. Those super heavies (300 and up) are sometimes hard to beat. All in all, I was glad that if I had to win the overall...I lost to who I did. Doesn't get any better than this guy...even at 340lb plus...haha.
 
Going for a walk...
 
Farmers walk...
 
After making the turn...not fun...me sprinting back.

I was wearing my Jesus, The real superman shirt for this event :)
 
Getting Night Fly ready for the keg press...
 
Last few reps on the log...wearing my "letters"...
 
Flipping the tire...although it was very light...I still need to work on my technique when I do it. I was waiting for it to "settle" before I flipped it again... Had I not done that...I would have done well enough in this event to have won the entire contest...

Live and learn...
 
Found something to hold onto as soon as I finished though. It was either Night Fly or Milo...I chose Night Fly....haha
 
Holding Night Fly up after she finished her deadlift event (250 for 14 reps...RAW)...
 
getting ready for the keg load...
 
They were heavy...were they ever heavy...
 
After loading the last one...I explained to the guy that I was about to go get something very big to eat...and a dark beer. I think I even mentioned Hooters at one point...he thought that it was the funniest thing he had ever heard..haha...
 
Saying thanks...and showing off my belly...
 
Way into the night...after most everyone had choked down 5 too many beers...hahah
 
What a fine group of ladies too...
 
2 am...long day of competing...and they were all very drunk. Cheese talks the women into picking him up and carrying him..lol.

Melissa Ortega on the left, pro strongwoman and sweetie....and Amy Weisberger on the right, pro strongwoman and world record holder in the men's and women's class for the bench press (319).

We had a blast...and I am probably off to bed...lol

Yeah thats what I thought, it definately looks like Jill Mills who won the Worlds Strongest Woman event in South Africa


Congratulations Bfold, awesome work !!!

Top respect for your hard work. Well done !!
 
Great job, B Fold!

Also - congrats to Night Fly on her performance.

Nice pics.... got to get me some kegs.


Q? Amy Weisberger - from Westside Barbell?
 
Way to go for both of you, you've both come a long way, time for some juicy endorsements
 
Yeah...that is Jill Mills...and Amy from Westside. She is a sweetheart too...especially after several shots and beers...haha. I have some GOOD pics of her...hahahahaha

I do need a few sponsors as all 4 of the pros there that day told me that I did not need to be competing in the amats anymore...I needed to be a pro. I can't be a pro without sponsors though...

Hello...George...are you listening...;) ;) ;)

He did do a wonderful job!!! He pushed himself very very hard and you could tell that all of his hard work paid off with no problems!!! GREAT JOB BTRUE!!!

Thank you all for the congrats...we sure had a great time! :)
 
B Fold,

I said it once, in one of my previous post ,and I am gonna say it again; in spite of your rustic and home made equipment you manage to squeze in , all kind of exercises in order to prepare for your main goal-Strongest Man Contest-, whereas guys who might have access to fancier and snazzier equipment , do not get the same results as they do not put the same intensity, the same war-face( or should I say gym-face) as you do in your workouts.
You manage to improvise and home-made in a fairly small place, an interesting array-of gym equipment. One more proof the human ingeniosity has no boundaries .


Moral: With discipline,motivation,perseverence and fierce determination you can achieve your goal , notwithstanding the lack of fancier equipment.

I am a big fan of "the world storgest man" on ESPN.
So far vikings are kicking ass..Who won last year? Is Yoko Ahola( dont know the real spelling) still competing?

Night Fly,

GO girl! You have a killer smile.....

Hope I didnt go too much in a rant....

Most small contests can be done for $250 or less. It usually costs $50 registration, $50 gas, $150 for 2 nights motel. Looks like I will start working on my portfolio and maybe a web site to advertise myself a bit better...

You are right...when we get to a contest we can't wait to play with the good equipment. The equipment we get to use at a contest is so much better than what we use at home. It is a real treat.

Svend Karlsen won last year, Joko retired a couple of years ago.

Yep...Night Fly has an amazing smile...I agree.

if you ever need help with your webpage, i may be of some assistance. I know a few things about designing a webpage, i may actually start one for myself to keep track of my training.

I know next to nothing about designing a web page...I will probably take you up on that offer.

You guys are tough! When am I going to see you on ESPN for the world's strongest man/woman competition?

I am only an amateur at the moment. I hope to earn my Pro card by winning the North America's Strongest Man contest this October. Who knows though...everything has to happen perfectly.

Once you are pro, you have to place top 5 at a contest similar to "Regionals". That contest will let you compete in Nationals. The top 5 at Nationals goes to the World's Strongest Man contest. It is a dream for me to be there in 5 years.

b fold, im gonna start working on my webpage tonight probably, and once im somewhat done w/ the basic layout of it, i'll show you it ,and you can tell me if you want some help.
 
B Fold, you are a bear. Excellent job man. Keep it up. That Strongest Man will be in your reach soon enough. Good job to you too, Night Fly. I always get pumped reading your posts, B Fold.
 
bfold, i'm not fantastic at web design yet, but as a designer and at the very least an artist who can do touch-ups on photos w/photoshop, i'd be willing to help you out any way i can.

you'll make it to your goal.. that i'm sure of.

keep working hard you two! :)
 
Deciever: It would be greatly appreciated. If I am gonna get anywhere with this sport...I have to market myself better...

i believe they have something called "liposuction" lol

Naw, but with a little touch abs, im sure he could probably graft a calvin klein model's six pack onto yours, trim down your waist line, and give you a nice defined six pack.

Hey now...your belly is your trademark. Don't you be gettin' rid of that! :) :)

And you've got abs there, too....saw them on Saturday! :p
 
Deciever: hahaha...umm..no thanks.

Night Fly: Saw my abs? Hey now...don't tell anyone. I might lose my reputation as the token "fat" guy here on Elite.

Just correcting something.

It is Jouko Ahola, not yoko or youko or whatever. Now you know it, don't ever spell it wrong again. :p

:D
 
b fold web design

hey b fold:
do have Microsoft Office? If you do you can very easily devolpe a decent site using Front Page. I'm a Marketing Communications major and have used for a couple of smaller companies and it worked quite well.

Just tryin to help incase you are looking for some.

Congrats to you and nightfly on your accomplishments
 
I know very little about computer and site development. Very very little.

If it doesn't deal with pics or music...I know next to nothing. Any advice is appreciated. I am actually talking with an advertising agency/agent at the moment...

B True
 
web site

Good idea with the ad agency, but check a couple out so you don't get overcharged. I am starting my internship next week at DKY Inc. It is a small agency in Minneapolis MN that does alot of web work. If you have any questions I would love to help you out.

Peace Bro
 
Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on it. One of my "brothers" owns his own advertising agency in St. Louis, MO. He is doing what he can to help me.

Dude that is so awesome! You did very well yet you also learned something (thie thing about the tire flip). It's also cool that you are patient. Night Fly is representing also.

As much as I hate grandstanding and egos, the best way to market yourself is to have a "persona." Wear something outrageous to your next contest like red spiked hair and ripped up biker leather. People also like controversy.

Look at Deon, look at wrestling. I don't like it, but if it's a choice between hanging up your atlas stones or making a living at this, you might have to be a little outrageous. You don't have to be something you're not, but pick a look that you used to like in high school, or a band you like that has a look (like KISS or Korn for example) and dress up like someone that would be in that band or something. That's what gets you noticed.

If you don't want to actually compete in a weird 'do, at least fuck around with some publicity shots for your website. I mean go to the Salvation Army with Night Fly one day and buy $10 worth of outrageous clothes and put them on and snap some pics. It's worth a try.

Just my 2 cents. I wish I lived near you, I could be your agent!

i think you should wear zebra pants (i got the idea from some guy in the "how much pain can you take" thready) and dye your hair into the american flag again like you had when you were younger in one of those pics you posted. Also, draw a giant yellow smiley face on your stomach(you can make it grin if you want, to show your game face). I think that would get you some attention.
 
Deciever...

I have some Cheetah pants. Do you think he would look sexy in those? I also have a snakeskin mini skirt!!! Talk about good promotion!!! lol...
 
lol@night fly... snakeskin mini skirt... if it fits him, go for it.. the more he gets noticed the better, right???
 
Hmmmmmmmmmm...lol

Hey now...if he is wearing the pants...I'll wear the skirt...but with his legs he would probably get more money if HE wore the skirt!!! I could dress up and lay across his stones or something...you never know what might work. :)
 
haha.. i really couldnt, and really dont want to see him in your mini skirt (no offense B). But hey , if you wanna go lay across a stone for b fold, go for it.
