RESULTS: Oct 20th strongman comp

[mateo112]

competed in my third strongman comp today. took first in the middle weight class which was from 231-265(i weighed in at 255). the only shitty thing is that i was not happy about is i was the only one in the middle weight FXCKin class. not happy i was this morning. nothing like doing all the hard work and then not get to use it to compete. oh well set a few PR's today so it was an overall good day for the mateo. powerhouse competed in it also but i'll let him get on here and tell you how he did.

events with mateo's performance are as follows:
1. Tire deadlift: (same as a rack deadlift) bar was i will say 14" off the ground
1st attempt-500 (no problem)
2nd attempt-should have been 525 as this is what i told the judge originally but then i wanted to change it to 550 but he said he had to take my first verbal for my second attempt. thing is, there was 500 on the bar and he said to add 25lbs to the bar but the idiot bar loaders put a 25lbs plate on each side making it 550. i knew and seen what the idiots did so it worked out for me being this is what i wanted any way. (got it but it was a struggle. probably a good 7-8 second rep PR BABY HELL YEAH!!!!!)
3rd attempt-scratched as i knew i was at my limit and thought it would have been a waste to try for more and maybe get hurt when i was the only one in my class.
2. Log clean and press for max weight
1st attempt-180(no problem)
2nd attempt-200 (easy then the first attempt, i was alittle bit more warm and loose)
3rd attempt-should have been 215 but these guys putting the show on were all over the place. this year was this show's fourth time getting put on so you would think this shit wouldn't happen. they put 250 on there and i went for it thinking it was too much but tried it anyway and couldn't even clean it. they seen after i went and gave me another attempt after evryone else did their 3rd attempt. i didn't get it so that sucked but i wasn't too mad about it as i was the only one in my class but believe me if there had been guys in my class, me and the judges would have had big problems.
3. Stone Put-33lb stone that we just shot putted minus the spin or foot movement. just had to squat down and explode up with a sort of truck twist.
3 attempts-22' 8" was my best(heavyweights 1st plae threw it 25 feet)
4. Farmers walk/Sled drag medley 80 ft each(farmers was first) farmers was 225 per hand and the sled weighed 475.
Time-39 secs: farmers handles were just a wee bit larger than 1" so that helped. never done anythin heavier then a 210 farmers and i man handled this farmers so this is another PR for me today. sled was a bitch(as it always is for the mateo) it was rigged up with one of those yellow tow ropes(looks like a belt). each end of the belt was connected to the sled so there was a u made out of the belt to use to pull. i threw it around my upper body and pulled it forward..............after this event i went behind the stands and did a reappearing act with my breakfast. i let you guys know this is the first time i blew chunks from working out.(fXck that sled man)
5. Tractor pull used harness and rope. 80 ft course, 60 sec time limit. all the light weight competiors went first and no one pulled it past 44 ft. i went and was the first one to pull it further then them. pulled it like 72ft. it was tough, biggest thing i've pulled to date and using the rope made my forearms and biceps get on fire. after i was down with the event they cramped up bad and i had to have my mom massage me for a little bit.

mateo wasn't the only one to bring home the gold. I also took first place in the light weight class. I had 5 competetors in my class. all of these events were the same as what mateo posted the only difference was the weights in some events.
first event- The tire dead lift this was for max weight. first lift was a 450 just to get a feel for it. the second lift was for 500 and the third lift was for a 520, this was a new PR (won the event)
Second event- was the log press. I am usually practicing with a 12 inch log and the one we used was a 10 inch so this made it a little easier. Again this was for max weight. my first lift was 200 (went up really easy). Second lift was for 220 this one was easy as well. and for the third lift i decided to go big and went for a 250 log. i strougled a little bit but got it up. this was a new PR for myself. (won the event)
The third event- shot put 16lbs. max distance. My first throw was about 28 feet. the second was 32 feet and my final throw was 33 1/2 feet. (won the event)
the fourth event the farmers carry sled drag- This was for time the farmers were 200 lbs each and the sled was 400 lbs. my time was 27 seconds 80 feet with the farmers and 80 feet with the sled.
This event really was a bitch, i almost performed mateos magic trick before he did. (since i went before he did) (Second place.)
The final event- the tractor pull. i pulled the tractor 44 feet. this event was not as hard as i thought it was going to be on the legs, but really felt it in my bi's. (Finished second)
Took first place overall.

Next comp will be the push-pull. the same comp that mateo talked about.
