First strongman competition from the summer.

[Klotz]

Hello. Last summer I competed in my first strongman competition. It's pretty light as strongman comps go, but I think I did pretty well for a first-timer. I came third last (sounds better than 16th), and my two main downfalls were A. infamiliarity with the equipment (first or second time using it), and sub-par conditioning (my body basically gave up on me halfway through the third event). It was a great experience and I met some really strong guys. Last summer I was only strong enough to do that one comp, but this summer I want to do a few more. Enjoy the video.

That's kind of cool that you went for it. It'll be interesting to see how you do a year later.

Nice vid Klotz, I'm in for the one on the island this summer.

[Klotz]

You're stronger now than I was a year ago, so you should do ok.

Dude, I was at that strongman event. I did not compete but my buddies Andrew and Phil did (they were brothers). Anyways hell of a job!

[Klotz]

That's cool. I hope to do a lot better this summer.

so how exactly do you get into strong man comps anyways>???????

[Klotz]

I liked the idea (a guy at another forum I post at started doing them) and I googled "Toronto strongman contest" and that one came up.

They even put me on the front page!

Cool pictures and video dude, looks like it was a lot of fun.

I think I've seen you around the PEC many times, I think we may have even worked in with one another on the platform in the varsity room when Mel was giving tips?

Small world!

[Klotz]

Yeah that sounds like me. Who are you? (a description may suffice if you don't want to reveal your name)

Lots of Queen's people on wannebebig, apparently.

My name's Zack. I don't think we've formally introduced ourselves before, I will have to do so next time I see you!

Are there lots of of Queen's people on here? I had no idea.

Hey I tried to respond to your PM but my post count is less than 15. Hah, that's testament to how little I post. I do tend to lurk.

Cool to see Queen's people here. I've seen your posts before but didn't realize you were at Queen's. Maybe we'll run into one another some time.

[Klotz]

Perhaps. You look kind of familiar. Are you that guy who's really good at oly lifting?
