For anyone who cares, I've got some pictures from the contest I did on the 17th.
First up: Log press. This is a pic of 270 pounds. I made 230, 250 and missed the 270. The log is much different from a bar. I can put up around 300 overhead with a bar, but I've never done more than 260 on a log. Overhead press is my weakest movement.
Second up was the Conan's wheel. The weight was 950 lbs. in the basket. Can't tell you what the weight in the arms was because of the distance of the lever, but my best guess is somewhere between 400-500 pounds. The basket is approxiamtely in the center of the bar with the fulcrum at one end and me at the other. What is that, a 2nd class lever? Anyway, I did just over a turn and a quarter. This was pretty heavy. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Third up was the keg carry. It had to be carried with a bear hug type grip. The keg weighed 270 pounds with a run of 50 feet back and forth for distance. I carried it 200 feet and set it down. I could have gone a few more feet, but by then it was pressing down on my diaphragm and I hadn't taken in any air during the last 50 feet. So I decided to set it down instead of pass out.

Fourth up was the farmer's carry. I had to go 50 feet down and back carrying 260 pounds in each hand. I took my time with this and finished in 22 seconds. 16 seconds is my best time with this weight and distance.
Finally was the stones. This was the only one I was disappointed in. There were 5 stones weighing 220, 235, 265, 300, and 330 pounds. They were to be loaded to a 54 inch platform. I loaded the first four in 15 seconds and I missed the 5th stone by about an inch. The platform has a metal lip so as soon as I hit the corner of it, it slid right down. This is a pic of it on the way down. You can tell by the expressions on the spotters' faces. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Either way, that's what I do for fun. And it's a good thing I'm a student at Chiropractic college. Because this shit knocks stuff around like no other.
Feel free to make comments, poke fun, etc.
