Battle in the Barn II
by Eric Todd
Battle in the Barn 2013 is done and in the books. We had lots of fun, and some great lifting occurred. I would like to thank Al for coming out and running the score table, and Thom for being our Judge. I would also like to give a huge thanks to Conan Wass for loading for us. Five lifters competed in 4 lifts. Dean Ross came all the way from Oklahoma for the event.
Some of the highlights from the meet for me were:
Dean Ross absolutely grinding out his last deadlift. HE just got edged out on a final lift from getting 3rd by formula.
Lance Foster’s Dumbbell to the shoulder. He hit a big number, but missed out on his next one which would have been a BIG PR. If he had not bombed on the deadlift, he would have been right in the mix.
Professor Scott Tully making a clutch Dinnie lift to put himself into 3rd by formula.
What I was most impressed with was a lean, mean Mike Pringle. I hardly recognized him when he rolled in. This was Mikes the second ever all-round meet that he has competed in, and he came in STRONG! I was very impressed with his dumbbell to the shoulder technique. It seemed very efficient, though I could not duplicate it. His People’s deadlift was also incredibly strong.
We scored this meet two ways. One was by the standard formula, and the other was by straight weight lifted.
By formula, the meet ended like this:
5th-Lance Foster
4th-Dean Ross
3rd-Scott Tully
2nd-Mike Pringle
1st-Eric Todd
By straight weight the results are as follows:
5th-Lance Foster
4th-Dean Ross
3rd-Mike Pringle
2nd-Scott Tully
1st-Eric Todd
