Saturday’s Strongman Event

YEAH! I won the title “Oregon’s Strongest Man”. My humility prevents me from being too proud – there were a whole bunch of Canadians who decided not to show and I know that Sam Pektol (of Pektol’s Strength Systems, serious) lives in Oregon. But it was a great day for me. I got PR’s on all the highland games events: Braemar Stone, Heavyweight over bar, light hammer throw and light weight for distance. Admittedly the lack of a trig box helped a lot for LWD :)

Oregon StrongmanI’m officially the sorest I’ve ever been… It’s rhabdo bad, seriously. 1/2 Hour full body in 60deg water I still felt hot when I got out 4.5 hours after the meet. Here’s day two and I couldn’t sit up in bed, I had to literally roll off. Hysterical!

    Thanks Bro :) The DB is a 2″ grip 140lbs – I suck, I coulda got that if I’da practiced for like 2 seconds on something similar before the meet – but I didn’t really know that there were no rules on pressing whatsoever – so I didn’t practice that dip enough times… Grr. It’s all good though!
