Are there any other competitive lifters in here?

What events are in the strongman comp you are doing?
295's Fat Grip Farmers Walk with 1 turn + 450lb Hand over hand sled pull
500lb Axle Deadlift for reps no straps
45lb Sledge hammer crucifix holds for time
295's farmers handle holds for time
Lots of grip and torture events. What about your's?
Promoter doesn't want to bring a variety of gear?
Anyways, mine will be
1. People Deadlift (This event will be performed with a car deadlift apparatus retrofitted to hold people. Most likely will be a rising bar format. Weight TBA)
2. Sandbag carry for distance (200lbs)
3. Stone over a bar for reps (300lb stone)
4. Heavy Yoke Carry (between 600-700lbs) 40ft with a drop turn at 20ft
5. Circus Dumbbell for reps (125lb dumbbell) This is the final event and will take place on the main stage.0 -
Also, what the hell happened here, I go for a nap and I come back and everything has gone of the rails. The op, wanted to deal with people who have competed. It is a different feeling. In training, if have an off day, no problem. During a competition, you hundreds of people watching you and it can get to your nerves pretty good. It really isn't like a training day, no matter how much I try to tell myself that.0

How kind of you to come down off your cross to police the Inter-toobz.Y'all are derailing his thread for no good reason. Let him find his real powerlifting soul buddies in peace. god.
Oh. Almost forgot.
:flowerforyou:
Lol. You are a ridiculous person. I mean that in the nicest of ways.
But please don't respond to this, I see that you are busy discussing your powerlifting accomplishments (of which you should be quite proud - I assume, I have no idea what you're talking about as I'm just a Crossfitter) on the thread of someone who expressly stated that he does not want to talk to you on this particular thread.0 -

I'm just gonna say welcome back and leave it at that. Wondered where you'd gotten to.0

I would never in a million years disagree with that. However, what you have stated is a far, far cry from the conversational misstep made by the OP.Also, what the hell happened here, I go for a nap and I come back and everything has gone of the rails.

I kinda had a feeling you were using sarcasm above, I tried to leave the door open for it. And while we're on the subject of verbal irony and your comment about my further discussion of non-competitive powerlifting...

Those events sound awesome. I was really hoping to find a competition with more of the classic strongman events like that but there isn't one in my area until October so I'm just doing this small local meet to get my feet wet before going to that one. The meet in October has a Deadlift Medley, Overhead Medley, Truck Pull, Loading Race, Hussafell and a Keg Toss. It should be a lot of fun.0 -

I'm a competitive powerlifter. I've also done some highland games competitions and am training for my first strongman show. Are there any other competitive strength athletes here?
*If you don't compete, you're not a powerlifter/oly lifter/strongman, you're just someone who likes to lift.
*Not crossfit. I'm talking real strength athletes.
Your dead lift would be higher if you didn't go above 15%.
Ok Bye.0 -

Incorrect. Mass moves mass. As long as your starting position isn't compromised, gaining weight will increase your deadlift.0 -
I have legitimately asked you questions to try to help connect you with some peeps you might want to interact with. The only consideration I asked in return is that you not dictate to others whether they can and can't be a certain kind of athlete if they do not join in competitions since you are not the sole arbiter of that.

Why are you being an *kitten* to someone whom you will probably encounter IRL, break bread with and want to share tacky with at some point? It just makes no sense.
I genuinely wish you well.0 -

I don't compete in highland games anymore so I doubt we will meet in person which I consider to be a good thing. If we did meet in person I probably wouldn't like you face to face either because you have a big mouth and a bad attitude. Not once did you even pretend to attempt to be nice and hook me up with some like minded people so don't act like you did. You actually did the opposite of that by turning a normal thread into a crapshoot.0 -
You were on here months back but deactivated didn't you?
I was, now I see why I left. People here can be pretty ridiculous.
They sure can.
And some of them take themselves way too seriously.
Am I taking myself too seriously? I don't think so at all. If you posted a thread for competitive runners I wouldn't go in there and hassle you about it.
"Well, I run but I don't compete. Does that mean I can't be in your club? You're just being judgemental" Sounds pretty stupid doesn't it?
Yes. Yes, it does. Runners don't generally exclude people who run but don't race because they've never raced.0 -

While that is impressive. Crossfitters can't pull near the numbers powerlifters do and a lot of powerlifters are fat. Hell, I'm fat and I guarantee you I pull more than you and probably have a higher Wilkes. The world record deadlift is set by a guy who is fat as hell for a reason.0 -
he's not judgeing, he's just looking for people to identify with...you butthurt? No need to throw your opinions around, we all have our own.
Yeah but I know a lot of people who both compete in olympic lifting AND do CrossFit . Super judgmental.
I'm pretty sure doing crossfit cancels out anything else.
ahem. I am a lifter that happens to crossfit. See profile. Also feel free to google Aja Barto, Lauren Fisher, Lindsey Valenzuela... etc etc0 -

What if the record Powerlifter did CrossFit for a day, he would then be a CrossFitter.
and the world record would be held by a "Crossfitter."

You actually have no idea whether I have a big mouth or a bad attitude, but I think for myself and speak my mind, so it's possible you're conflating those things.

And srsly? When I asked if you wanted to interact with HGers or only PL/Strongmen and whether oly lifters were good enough?! I was going to point out some of my friends. If you had once deigned to acknowledge that your blanket statement in your initial post was unfair and to answer my questions, I would have offered further help. I wouldn't want to inflict you on them now, however, so I'm glad you didn't and I didn't.0 -
he's not judgeing, he's just looking for people to identify with...you butthurt? No need to throw your opinions around, we all have our own.
His post came off as judgemental IMO (yes, my opinion and I am entitled to it) Also, he threw his opinions around..,so slightly biased stance there.
Also, no butthurt from me, I compete.
If you want to hook up with competitive PL'ers, that's completely understandable, but just say that. No need for the 'extras'.
There absolutely is need for the extras. Without them, everyone who fancies themselves strong will jump in here and say "Oh, I'm a powerlifter!" which would then make it necessary to state the extras so I just did it up front. Geez, you people on this website are so damn touchy about EVERYTHING. I guess this is a reminder why I deleted my account a while back. I don't know if you remember that but I was the guy who helped you get your pre-contest training cycle put together prior to your first meet. Some respect I got for that huh?
What?? You are delusional! You had absolutely NOTHING to do with my programming. Now you are lying as well. My programming came from 3DMJ and Alberto Nunez. Before that it was plain ole 5/3/1. I am honestly astounded by your post.
Also, are you really that blinkered to think 'I want other people who have competed only' would have not done the job?

Can I get in here? I lift...a tennis racqquet. And, I compete, tournaments, USTA teams, etc. Lemme tell you, when that audience is looking at you (both of them), and not completely stifling their chuckles, that racquet gets pretty heavy.
Take that non-competitors!
Nah-nah, nah-nah-nah!

I know I know. I shouldn't but my weight is up lately and I really want to lose a few before.0

Thanks for pointing that option out. I had to go train, but I was also going to suggest to the OP that if it really bothered him that the other kids on the playground refused to agree to his rules, he could take his ball and go home (to a private group rather than a public forum).

Not a competitive-lifter, but it's really impressive OP, goodluck,
I've been lifting for a while, really admire people who lift0
