Strongman nationals this weekend

ET, I’ll be there for sure. I’m not going to be in great form for any of these events, but gonna give it a go. Let’s talk this weekend about you putting on an Oldtime strongman meet in the spring. I talked to Scott last week and he said you can have March if you want, and he’ll push our Strongman meet back to July. I got ideas on a couple neat events for you to do. See ya this weekend! Al

I will probably have to take token lifts on 2 of them, but should be good to go on the other 2. Will definitely talk about March. See you Sat.

BTW, Thom, I think I have Lance talked into coming out with me.

I’m gonna make the dumbbells today for the dumbbell to shoulder. This is a real design challenge because of the potential weight lifted and making the dbs strong enough that they will not bend/break if dropped. I’m wondering – are any of you planning on lifting up to 300# on this? I’m talking specifically to guys like ET, Chris and John. If so, I need to make the db long enough to accomodate this loaded with 25s, but I don’t want to make the db too long because that will hinder the shouldering of it with lighter weight (like for the rest of us!!!)

Probably not for me. I did 220 the other day, but it reaggrivated the knee. PRobably not going much higher than 180-200 on this, unfortunately.

I have about 8 guys committed to being there, I’m hoping to get a dozen. I have everything ready to go!
