first timers comp.

Walk of pain is both hands. We use a old milk churn loaded with small plates and gravel to whatever weight. The handles are about 1/2 to 3/4 and as it's difficult to stand up both your hands and the back gets fried (the pain part) and then you go, go, go. See if it's on YT - it's great to watch and you'll find yourself willing on a rival cos it's torture to do.

Think the log will be a knockout event for max weight - We all try 80 k , if you dont lift it your out and if you do you go on to the next round at a higher weight , this carries on untill a winner is found - thats my understanding of a round robin anyway ( could be totally wrong lol )  - The walk of pain is an awkward object ( milk churn ) carried in both hands for max distance without dropping  - Im gonna be there too mate and hopefully another guy from neath , should be a great day -

Walk of pain. Nuff said.

Round robin. is you all line up and take the first lift if you pass the lift you go to the back of the line if you fail you are out when we get back to the first guy in the line the weight goes up and we start agian the shorter the que the less rest you get and the heavyer the log becomes it's quite fast paced. max weight pressed wins.

lol , beat me to it steve 

By the time i typed my answer two of ya beat me to it but i did get a youtube link into my answer. :)

lol , reckon your link beats my speed mike  
Really looking forward to the comp mate , the missus is sick of me talking bout it already lol , thinking of making a weekend of it so I can watch the novice comp as well and treat the missus to a night out in gloucester to boot - show her the bright lights lol

another really silly question der, what incroments will the log go up in weight in each lift each side so i can start training for this, if the log starts at 80kg whats the next weight 85kg 90 etc last question honnest lol

cheers mat spence

i recon it will be 80,90,100 then in 5kg jumps and down to 2.5 kg when there are just a few left in.

I will add contact details etc this weekend.

fantastic news, relly looking forward to it now, my training starts this week and hopefully will be fighting fit by june, thanks again

mat spence.

i have always been interested in having a go at a strongman comp but the events are 'too heavy' this seems ok, with me only being 83 k bw always not heavy enough later on in the year would be good for me.  Only got back in serious at xmas
