Brent:
I think this was a really good show despite the small numbers of competitors. It ran very fast, and the crowd really enjoyed it. Being indoors was nice as well. Some of the events were new, no injuries, and a good time for all.

Farmers Walk (Ron's Autobody)
Review
Brent:
The 250 and 275 were using the low Pulse farmers, and the 300 was on the higher pick ones. Curt was first to go and set a good mark. I went 2nd and my plan was to beat Curts mark. After doing that..i went on to finish..though not fast. But Tim put in a huge eforrt to complete..and got very close. I think he picked the 300s up at least 5 times. Impressive.

Viking Press (AMC Signs)
Review
Brent:
This was done using the Pulse apparatus with 240 lbs in plates. Estimated it to be around 260 lbs in total. We choose to allow double knee bend to help more guys get reps. Still too heavy for most. John got 2 reps for 2nd, Tim was very close to 1. With better technique it would have happened. I pressed out 5 for the win.
Rules
260lbs Reps in 60 seconds Implement may not touch the ground, if it does your done, ref will call good lift when locked out. Pulse apparatus with 240lbs in plates.

Arm over Arm (Fountain Tire)
Review
Brent:
We used a semi tractor weighing about 18,000 lbs. Seemed way to light. Everyone had trouble hanging onto the rope. The new 1.5" manilla rope worked really nice though. 1st thru 3rd were with-in 2 seconds.

Fingal Fingers (Prairie Insurance)
Review
Brent:
This was the first time these had been used in a competition. We tested them twice and knew it would be hard. Everyone got two, but I was the only one that got pretty far with three. Really cool and hard event!

Atlas Stones (Superior Distributors)
Review
Brent:
Everyone did good with the stones. But Tim was awesome. Easily loading the 345. I was close, got it high enough..just to far away. Oh well. Also used to much tacky and slipped once on the 210. Still managed 2nd place.

Wheel Barrow (Glenberg Homes)
Review
Brent:
The wheel barrow was done using the pulse deadlift apparatus with wheels on it instead of the normal pivot. We then placed an 800lb tire near the handles. The pick height is a little lower then a normal deadlift with 45's and because of that this was more of a deadlift event then a walk event. Grip really was not a big part of it. I managed 940 for the win. Had I tried 1010, well..i am pretty sure I would not have made the lift. Curt and Tim both tied, unable to lift the 940.
Rules
Progressive Wheel Barrow 20' each time Weight increases 70lbs each run Starting weight and apparatus TBD One put down allowed per run, no straps or tacky, 60 second time limit

Medley (Canadian Lumber)
Review
Brent:
The medley was fairly hard for most. Tim and Curt were tied going into this event for 2nd. Was painful watching them both trying to move that yoke just a bit further. Head to head would have been so much better! Tim went first, and all Curt needed was to go a bit further..which I did. I was not moving my fastest, took some time to put on my belt after the tire. Managed to get the duck walk almost to the end before time ran out. Everyone was cheering, and Brian ..well…MADE me finish it anyway. Pretty hard. We did a 30' duck walk with 500lbs instead of stairs as we had problems with getting the stairs.
Rules
800lb Tire Flip x 2 800lb Yoke 50' Power Stairs 500lbs Yoke height will be adjusted for each competitor.
