Over the weekend I competed in the Brat City Strongman event. This is the 3rd year that I have competed, getting better every year. There were 4 men in the "master's" class, which is 40+, regardless of weight or experience. I managed second place.
Here's pics of the 5 events that made up the competition.

Log press, max weight. I managed 155 pounds. Overhead is by far my weakest area.


Deadlift, we had to lift, then load beer grain bags into the box. 4 additional bags, for 5 lifts total. Last lift was about 300# in hand.


Pickup truck arm over arm pull. There were 10 or so kids in the bed also.


Brewer's carry. Two half barrels sorta full of water. 120# in each hand. 50 feet down, turn and back.


Stone to shoulder, as many rep's as possible in 60 seconds. I did 1.

My Hero!!! Way to go tough guy!!

Shoes are a nice touch.

How much did the stone weigh? Looks like a dang boulder in the pic.

Sorry, forgot that. 191 pounds.

The shoes are nice for most lifts as they don't have a soft sole, so no compression as you lift.

That’s sweet! Congrats!!

I really like the Celtic strongman games.

You probably know of Eddie Hall. I like watching him, and some others compete in videos when those events are posted.

Well done in your success.

You want big Celts? Check out the Stoltman brothers, Luke and Tom, and Harry. Massive guys.

Nice!
I know the work that goes into it!

One of my sons said he wants to.find an event that's all static lifts, too big for all that moving stuff, lol.

He did hit his goal of 900# timber frame DL few weeks back, came up fast.
He thought he had another 50# + in the tank.

Congrats

There's a "Max Monsters" event here in a few weeks, that'd be right up his alley. No timed events, just massive lifts.

The heavyweight draft horses of the human world. Thank you very much for that video. Besides the horse sports, there’s nothing I like better than to see the Celts and other European strongman games. I saw a fair amount of redheads in that crowd. Makes me proud of my Irish heritage.

I also saw a tweed shirt in that booth, that I would love to buy if they offer it online. Just the colours that I love.

The music in that is un surpassed. Every time I see a gathering like that, I wish I was there.

Stud!,,,,,,,, And you are wearing the Ronald McD shoes..........NICE!

Cool that it's in Appleton, we drove up there for the USAPL High School
Nationals some years back. Fantastic bunch of locals there to assist and some SERIOUS young men and young women lifting!

Think it was 600+ kids competing!

Ever think about competing in the highland games on the southside of Milwaukee?

you know what makes that more impressive is Ksnow is not that big of a guy

there had a fire truck pull here this weekend , we should put together a team for next year if we go mixed team you get 9 if all male 8

I have thought about that. There are some guys who compete in both. My biggest issue would be access to implements to train with. I am already tight on space with strongman stuff. And what I don't have, there is a local-ish gym near me that has a load of strongman equipment.



Thanks, Pete. I weighed in at 183 that morning. 5 foot 8 inches.

I'd be up for that if I have the time. Two years ago we had a fire truck pull at this event. 30,000 pounds does NOT move very easy.

Like I said for a strong man I think I could still toss you over a shoulder and go for a walk.
I shrank a bit I am blaming compressed disks , now 6' 1 1/2 " 275
