    I think I like the last one. The first one seems a little too sci fi for strongman, its supposed to be an old school test of strength.

    The second one, the only thing in my mind when I play that out in my head is torn biceps

    It seems like the third one would be similar to a truck pull

    I like the catapult. Extra points for accuracy and the destruction of something down range.

    those events really don't seem suited for strength competition...more suited for entertaining the viewers...

    That really is the name of the game. If you don't entertain, you don't grow.

    I didn't know whether to take those events seriously or not? is that supposed to be serious suggestions?

    they all look foolish, too contrived and prob dangerous. Imagine a washing machine spinning around that breaks loose and flies into the stands.

    one even I like to see them bring back, way back they used to do a hay bail lift , where hay bail or any heavy object was attached to a strong rope with winch way over head, and the athlete had to hoist the object up as as possible by pulling the rope.

    I can't imagine trying to train for the spinning washing machine hold event...

    The thread on Marunde where Craig posted his suggestions is pretty funny, he had events like "fight a gorilla" and "climb across barbed wire over a shark pit with chicken strapped to your feet".

    I agree, it is much easier to train for the Hercules pull with Father's jet fighter....
