On teh Uk strongest man they had a curl event.

They had 2 huge milk/butter churns that swung about freely and wildly on a bar.

The had their back and but against a pole and a weighlt belt attached keeping them that way.

Had to do strict curls so bar touched their chin.

Great even. Once you stopped that was it. Winner in heat i seen got 13 reps with 154lbs...I thought very impressive.

"How heavy of a churn can you curl, bro?" hahaha

Ursus · « **Reply #15 on:** January 10, 2009, 10:03:20 AM »

it was a cool event.

Glenn Ross organised it.

There was a giant one arm dumbell press. 168lbs. Handle was so thick noone was close to getting their hands around it. It was stupidly big and awkward.

He got 13 reps and quit cos he clearly won.

Was also a tug of war type thing on a H shaped metal frame about a metre each side called 'The sweetie snatcher'. The milk one was the Kurdler event lol.

Was an incline log press i never seen before. For reps. Once you drop the bar thats you. 308lbs

The sweetie snatcher thing was a shit event. It was raining and they just ended up falling all over the place $:-\$

Excellent across the board.

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #24 on:** January 10, 2009, 10:38:50 AM »

excellent on everything except the deadlift and pullups. apparently my deadlift sucks.

i also find it weird that "unlimited" is everything over 198. that seems a little... odd. i'd imagine most people who exercise and are taller than 5'10 weigh at least 200 pounds.
