Not massively experienced but so far:

Worst:

Log - not done it many times, and tend to be poo at pressing
Yoke - quite a small bone structure, so not stable enough through my hips
Farmers for time - I'm slow

Best:

Deadlift for reps - as proven in competition I just keep going til I pass out lol
Loading - Get there eventually
Truck pull - Only done it once but seemed to do ok against some good guys

None of them are good enough yet though... ;-)

My overhead is by far my weakest event.

Stones is definately my best followed by farmers although odly my static grip is crap.

overhead pressing, yoke and truck pull are probably my best events, although i have never done yoke or truck pull in competition

farmers for a set distance is an ok event for me, farmers for max distance isnt as my grip isnt great

deadlift is my worst event, with stones a close 2nd and my grip is ****, but these are my main areas to improve before next years comps start

i am bad at any overhead (i hate logpress with a passion) but am average at vikingpress.

i like deadlifting and squating but not a strong point for me.

truck pull is a good event for me as i am fat but have a strong cardio system

and i do well on stones and medleys

I am still finding my way around the events, but I would say my weekest would be the overehead events and maybe some static grip events although my grip is fine on farmers deads e.t.c

I would say that I was pretty consistent on all other events.

I find any overhead quite difficult although I am decent at viking press for some reason! My squatting is pretty weak too!

I would have to say Truck pull is probably my best event at the risk of sounding big headed I feel I am the best in the world at this!! Also Yoke would be a great event for me too!

I would say i am pretty solid at every event these days apart from the first two mentioned!

I'm becoming quite good accross the board now.

Best press would have to be axle press; best deadlift would be a side handles car deadlift and then worst would maybe be medleys due to fitness, but it's improving. If it's a very heavy medley though that's where I shine!

I don't have any stand out events, I just try to be consistent.

Deadlift - particularly partial range, is by far my worst event!

I'm fairly consistant across the board.

Deadlift is probably my most standout with yoke being by far the worst.

Worst - loading, stones, medleys - because I'm slow, unfit and short!!

Farmer's walk has been hit & miss. Can be a good event for me. I prefer it on the heavy side with non-bulky implements with grippy handles!

Tend to do quite well at partial dead lifts, particularly with side handles - because I'm short!

In my last comp I did well at axle clean & press, but I surprised myself there.
