nate225 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Probably the biggest $$$ in NZ Strongman this year to date with the title of Akld's Strongest Man (HW & LW) up for grabs.With Nickoli injured the confirmed competitors to date are:Sam MageleDale ShepherdHarley LewisHayden Kumerich$2000 to be split increasing prize pool if competitors are limited. May well be worth entering this one lads, particularly in U105's as I can only see one in that division so far! 3 pressing events so would suit a lot of guys here.If anyone wants to discuss how to train for this one flick me a PM. Miada Sports Nutrition & Miada Gym AUCKLAND's STRONGEST MAN 2010Date: Sat 16 OctoberVenue: Miada Gym, 66 Portage Rd, Otahuhu, AucklandStart Time: Weighin 10.00am to 12.30pm STARTS 1PMEvents:1.

Mrbig Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 so the under 105 have to do the same weights as the open guys?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 so the under 105 have to do the same weights as the open guys??Yes, the same as NZSM. Means a good 105 athlete can win the overall.My breakdown of the events in terms of doableness:Max Log Overhead - no probs as you select the weight (70kg lightest as empty log weighs this)Max FULL Deadlift - no probs as you select the weightIncline Bench 120kg Log for Max Reps - most HW's should get 5 reps+, LW's might struggle a bitHercules Hold (2x117kg) Max Time - no probs as you drop as soon as you can't hold100kg Apollan Axle Press Max Reps - Top HW's will go 8-10+, most should manage 3-5. Most LW's will find this tough but I'd expect a few 3-5 reps.360kg Tyre Flip Fastest Time for 6 Flips - haven't seen the tyre being used, but if it's like NZSM one most HW's & LW's should complete, speed will be the keyStones - fastest time to load 5 stones (99kg, 114kg, 124kg, 139kg and 155kg) HW's - mainly be speed to load 3rd & 4th stone, top HW's will come down to loading the big boy. No LW has yet loaded the 5th, so placings will be decided by fastest time on 3rd & 4th stone. One LW could get the 155 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytraps Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 The events are quite good. I dont think ill manage to do the axle or the incline but i should be able to get something in all the other events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Just edited as the Axle press will be 100kg - much more acheivable than 120kg! Makes this a very good comp for a first time competitor wanting to test themselves and should suit those that like their pressing as well as Deadlift type movements. Any takers keen to join Tinytraps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Looks like we've got one other NZBB member joining you Tinytraps, I'll let him make the announcement though! :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phedder Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Sounds like a lot of fun, maybe in 2-3 years :pfft: Wish I was in Auckland then to go watch. I imagine competitors would be totally buggered after all those events though, intense stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genetic freek Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Looks like someone where their strenth is their sholders picked the events, gota win somehow I guess :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Looks like someone where their strenth is their sholders picked the events, gota win somehow I guess :pfft:There's a fair bit of back & grip strength needed there too GF (DL, Herc Hold, Tyre flip, Stones), but it does have 3 pressing events as you noticed. Should be the comp best suited to many here who focus on their pressing movements. Lets see if anyone mans up & joins Tom representing the BBing fraternity!Happy to help you out with a training plan GF? :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 So i am gonna compete in this. Awesome Tom! :clap: will be my first one so am looking forward to it more for the fun aspect than to be competitive considering i dnt realy know what to expect.The guys are all really supportive, kinda waht I enjoy about strength sports, so they'll help you out on the day.Also if you get along to a few training sessions prior you'll learn a lot about technique (AUT Strongman, Miada Gym, NZSM crew, Lynfield, Netfitt etc all have training sessions & or equipment).Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr natural Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 toms agreed to let dale use him as subsititute for the log in the log throw event :computer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genetic freek Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Not that you can predict things nate, but... could you give us and idea of what weights will win each event in each group? Ball park son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball park son.log-140 should win this one not to sure on how sams press is now but dales hitting some good numbers maybe a shot for 150.deadlift- 330 would beat dale who did this a week or so ago only one person I know of currently that would be able to pull more than that (and hes out injured)apollons axle- 10+reps should see a win again I think dale or sam wil be favourite for this, and hayden kumerich as the dark horse.Incline log- 10reps will win I think, favourite would be sam.stones- If someone loads the 155 they will win other wise fastest to 140 stone will take it out. From memory of those competing only dale and sam have loaded the 155tyre- anyones game here sub 25s should see the win.herc hold- 1min+ will win, record is 1.13? (nate holds this)I think I see Dale taking this one out and sam taking second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam's very underdone at the moment but I'd expect 150+ out of him on a bad day. LW's Dale should go 130 - 140 but logs a hit or miss thing so always a bit up in the air. Agreed 320-330 probably win it.apollons axle- 10+reps should see a win again I think dale or sam wil be favourite for this, and hayden kumerich as the dark horse.

Axle diameter & smoothness (50 mm stainless!) will be a factor.Incline log- Sam would likely go 20 reps here when at his best. Unsure at the mo tho as haven't seen him training lately.stones- I don't know if Sam's loaded the 155? Dale has done it but only as a HW. Fastest to 140 will probably win it but 155 could be the decider!tyre- Haven't seen the tyre being used, couldn't comment.herc hold- I'd see many going close to my time, its easily beatable. Both Sam & Dale are reasonable at this event on their day. One of the guys at Otahuhu comp went close, was it Viking Power?A good big man should always beat a good little man. Sam should go in favorite but giving his committment to League until the weekend prior & the lack of SM specific training I would probably concur with you that Dale is currently the favorite to win. Will be close though.I'm interested in the new guys and seeing how they progress. The unknown factor is always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natenemesis Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I too have decided to do this comp (as a LW) as a bit of a warmup for NZSM, especially the stones and log, and i concur with Nate's comments regarding likley winning scores. sounds like Dale might not compete now, so Sam might be the clear cut fave now for overall, with i am thinking Hayden fave for the LW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate225 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Update:Big Sam's out - his team made the League finals Nickoli's going to do events as they come (as long as not hurting his back), Dale is likewise going to do events (but as a HW) unless his rhomboid gives him too much grief. Jono's going to compete despite only training BJJ for last few months!Other entrants I know about are Justin Keogh, Tom McE, Hayden K, Harley, Afa ?Looks like a good comp.
