Posts: 476 (04/28/09 19:08:03) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Tags : None I would like to know how much interest there is in a possible novice strongman comp in Moose Jaw, Sk on Saturday June 27. I am putting on the Invitational on Friday June 26 and if there is enough interest I would look into putting on another comp the next day. Minimal Prize Money but a chance to compete with lighter weight and gain valuable experience. Off the top of my head for events It would be something like: 1) 220 Log for Reps - Clean and Press Each Rep 2) Yoke - 550 for 60 ft 3) DL Medley - 4 objects ranging from 400 - 600 lbs 4) Power Stairs - 440 & 500 lb up 2 stairs each 5) Atlas Stones - 240, 270, 300,330,380 to 50" boxes Let me know if you are interested by posting here or email me at alanblock17@hotmail.com Just to be clear I am not announcing a contest I just want to see if there is any interest.

I will MAKE them do this if it's a go. I would like to do a small novice show in Saskatoon, ideally behind the gym I train at-you know the place Al. We competed against each other there for the first time in 2000.

I'm not going to put in the effort to set something up. Mo that would be a good location. Unfortunately I have nobody new who is training with me to send there.

Maybe a 200 log, 350-550 dead, stones up to 300lbs etc. Dennis

If a competitor is scared away from a contest by the last weight in a DL medley or the last stone then obviously they don't have much desire to compete. There is plenty of opportunity for them to experience success in this show but also some challenge and a realization that I have a lot of work to do to get to the next level.
