LMFAO well I guess they call it strongman for a reason :pfft: :pfft: I did get owned to brother but i know what is needed to be competitive here now, example squat 300kg belt and wraps, bench 200 - 220kg raw, shoulder press from floor 140 - 160kg and deadlift must be over 300kg stiff leg deadlift 220kg + bent over rows 180kg + and be cardio fit with a bodyweight off 115kg + if you can achieve this I think you have a good shot at man handling the events which is what is needed, so I am sitting down tonight to work out how I can achieve this as fast as possible over the next 18 months
