Review
Brent - was hard to not be in this contest, but fun at the same time. Everything seemed to run very well and smooth. We were asked to slow down several times! Partly cause we only had seven guys, and partly because we kept it moving pretty fast. Grant did a great job as ref, he has a lot of knowledge and experience. Brad Provick was awesome on the mic. Weather was great! Impressive performances from the guys going to CSM. Scott was on fire, very intense, fast and strong, winning 5 of 7 events. John did very well, and was great having him out. Mo, very strong and fun to watch.

Max DL
Review
Brent - we started out with normal plates at 18" and went 550, 600, 650. Then switched to the flint stones for 685-700-725-750 etc. The event moved fast, was pretty exciting to watch. Mo won, and still choose to come out and try 900. Very impressive. Travis pulling a solid 725 was great. Eric hit a PR at 600. Used a lot of 'leg' to get it done.

Atlas Stones
Review
Brent - I think the deadlift took a lot out of the guys. The stones were a bit harder then most of us had expected. The 420 was not to be. Scott has an easy win getting 4 in 29.55 seconds. Very fast.John also got 4 but took him 47 seconds.
