Stats time!

welcome, Bonkfest (guess u get the nick after much enjoyment there? )

ok, some facts... strongman contest is organised yearly by hometeamns. they will first host the prelims somewhere around mid jan and the qualifying round are; farmer walk with75kg each for 20m, 4.5ton truck pull for 20m, and 600lb tire flip. they will select the top ten for the final contest.

for the final, there will be 5 events; 100kg barrel walk for 20m, 75kg logwalk for 40m, 500lb tire flip for 20m, car pull over some humps and the usual rhino truck pull for 20m. heard that there will be 2 events to replace some, yoke walk and car deadlift. there will be some revision to the weights use too. hopefully they will up the farmer walk weightst to 100kg and stick with the 600lb tire for flips.

where are you putting up in brisbane now? toowong, redhill, indooroopilly?

hehe thank you. Actually i've been using this nick since i was 15 but thats a really good guess hehe.
Also thank you for detailing the events so clearly for me. Much much appreciated. I wish they would include the car deadlifts heh. Is it true that there are no weight categories involved? A 150kg freakshow would have a massive advantage over a 80kg person ....

I'm staying in Spring hill currently but i'm due back in sing on the 27th of nov. I suppose you've been to Brisbane before?

omg, bonkfest that's amazing strength. And armwrestler, that's fantastic strength to weight ratio too. Care to share how long you've been training and your height? It's extremely rare to see such lightweight people lift so much.

Edit: after tabulating the scores and charting out the results, we have a new overall winner in bonkfest! I didn't think the day that captnj's superlative numbers were relegated to 2nd place would come so soon.

Anyway, the big numbers are great, but I wish more people in other stages of training would join in the fun as well. Don't feel shy/intimidated/whatever man. Just pick up the barbell and lift lift lift!

Whao, thank you...

but the bottom line is that i would still be a scrawny without Captnj's guidance. Plus his massive weights have certainly aspired me to go further and lift harder and heavier before. I have somewhat discarded some of the usual bodybuilding routine and embrace the hardcore world of powerlifting and strongman lifting routines haha.

Believe me when i say this though, with captnj and i training together, the sky's the limit.

haha welcome bonkfest! ok guys, bonkfest is no dbout a gifted guy. Built for lifting. But hes also a good example of a guy who works hard.

remember "HArd work beats talent if talent doesnt work hard" but this guy works hard + has talent so thats a great combination. hehe!

Hes got the Thick torso, popping out traps and all. He and I will be training together when he gets back. I'm glad to have somebody to train with. He will be gunning for the strongman competitions. I will be going for the 11sec 100m dash. Quite an excitign year 2007! stay tuned

Jon we see each other on MSN so i've nothing to say hahaha.

But people just remember this quote from someone i forgot heh.
Whatever numbers we put up, just remember that in remote china, a 12 year old girls is lifting the same weight/ using your weight as a warm up.
Knowing this always puts me on the edge and forces me to shut up and lift so to speak haa

 

[Doinker]

WOOT!!! Another Asian Powerlifter.

Damn good lifts man...and at 81kg!!!

I'm currently towards the final stages of my training cycle...going for a Powerlifting meet in 3 weeks.

Will keep you guys updated.

Got 205kg x 5 x 3 for deadliftings tomorrow (my final day of 5 rep sets). Not sure if I can manage...but will give it my all anyway.

Peace out.

actually it is the other way around. the winner of last year contest was Chaar, a 70+kg guy who excel in both speed and strength. hopefully next year there will be some changes, as there are alot more stronger contestants and hope to match the world strongman event in 1-2 year. not sure if they will extend the invitation to malaysia which i had heard the organising major mentioning this before. can share with u on the events execution, need some handons like truck pull and tire flip. i ripped my shoulder skin, pulled the finger's tendon when i was newbie then.

spring hill? how is the rent? im moving to brisbane there next jan/feb. can take over your rented house?

[ithunk]

Whao Chaar is certainly impressive pound for pound. Although i`ve been doing some powerlifting routines(eg. over presses etc), i`ve never participated in any strongman competition. I look forward to doing my first one in sing.

It would be great if we could meet up over coffee for a chat.
I doubt you would want my apartment in SH. Its expensive as hell , 400 aud for 2 bed 2 bath, but if u don`t mind the price, the location is awesome.
Are you coming over for studies or business?

 

[nakorius]

ithunk,

Deadlifts and Squats require an entire set of stabilizers and uses a completely different set of muscles for each exercise.

It is very different from benching.

Why don't you squat or do deadlift? I am surprised that for a chap who wants to be the biggest, strongest and most muscular fella in CF Bugis, he does not do all the big 3 and most pro-bodybuilders along with Strongmen do that.

Oh yes, before I forget, a big welcome to both Bonkfest and Armwrestler

Why don't you try sunnybank.....you'll be surrounded by good old asian food.

Plus you'll be surrounded by all the asian grocery shops. Imagine cooking up a no fuss feast of bak kut teh or laksa.
Never miss singaporean food again hehe.

Erm... About?

2 and half plates?

Did you really do it?

These exercises do not give you a big waist fyi

 

[nakorius]

Should be fine... hopefully I will finish moving house by then.

I will msn you or something.

You can also sms me lah.... you have my number

 

[galapogos]

Agreed. For a guy who claims he can bench 3 plates, it seems weird, almost a blasphemy, that his squat and deadlift numbers are lower than his bench numbers. Hell, I squatted more than 2.5 plates before my injury.

Unless of course, he has weak legs and a weak back...
