3rd Annual Hudson River Strongman Challenge
Weighed in at a solid 270.0 lbs contest morning.
600lb 18" dead for reps: 6 reps counted, would have had 9-10+ but since I instinctually cock my wrists too much on deadlifts when I compete (big mistake) my grip kept giving out and etc etc. 6 reps tied me for 2nd on the event. 1st place did 14 reps.
700lb Conans Wheel: Did 131 ft, 2nd place...RJ the Conans Wheel God did 132.5 feet and got 1st for the event. A FOOT AND A HALF. He was 6'5 as well, so that helped. What didn't help was the ultra slick ground which kept me from going full speed for fear of slipping and dropping the implement.
270lb Viking Press: Since lots of sissies were allowed to do a DOUBLE KNEE BEND on the viking press, it wasn't fair...they got more reps than they should have had, but I did mine strict style (one dip, and knees lock out before arms do) and got 13 reps, NARROWLY missing #14. Got 2nd place on this event. Top guy got 14 reps.
700lb yoke for 50ft: Did it in 11.8 seconds which was 1st place in the event.
Stones: 230, 260, 300, 330, 370: On VERY high platforms (for the first 2 or 3 stones). Did the 1st 4 VERY fast, and took time to retacky and boast to the crowd about getting the 5th one before I grabbed it and tossed it up there. Felt VERY powerful. Half the heavyweights ALMOST got the 5th stone loaded, but it was CAKE for me. 1st place for this event.
1st place in 265-300 HW class and Overall Best Lifter in all the HW Divisions.
Lots of strong warriors showed up, but I rode thru their blood on my chariot ride to victory.
Kill with Power.
p.s. The plane flight home was AWFUL. Someone brought a dog on the plane and the little shit was barking the whole time, not to mention the flaming gay steward(ess) threatened to kick me off the plane unless I put my trophy from my lap into the overhead compartment, and the bitchy female flight attendant "accidentally" stabbed me in the shoulder with a big cardboard box she was carrying and gave me shit for daring to ask for 2 cups of apple juice instead of one...then these 4 kids sitting across from me kept coughing on me THE WHOLE TIME and staring at me...then they started farting.
Southwest Airlines is dumby heads.
