Love the title mate - The rob's :lol

Hope it gets the lads entered. If I could make one comment I'd copy the arnolds and make the squat a deadlift. On the frame you can set the bar pick up height to the same as the Arnolds deadlift .

The Robs fucking hell thats still making me laugh , Fucking Excellent mate I do hope this is a go.

Not sure what i'm doing on the date but if I can come up I will. I can bring the big yoke from the team event (you can also throw the stone over it) and I might have a modified frame. Higher pickup and much more stable.

personally I like the squat being in there. its not often you get to squat in strongman. Itll sort the the full squatters from the half squatters!

I have to agree Will. A squat for a change would be great. It's Rob's competition though so whatever he puts in is cool with me. Hopefully I can make the 4th...a week later would have been perfect.

The deadlift idea seems good. Squat is also good but even better as front squat for a change, then you really talking..pubescent boys from the grown men! That's the strongman's squat for me - it's like when incline log is used instead of bench press in strongman comps.
Rob, you rock for your whole concept. :rn

a couple of qs on the events rob:

- is the dumbell reps from the floor or shoulder?

- will it be squat or deadlift?

just trying to work out a routine for the next couple of months.

Rob,
Looks a great event!

Front Squats would be a cool addition.

I would personally like to see a squat event because they are so rare in comps. But either way, I'm up for this one.

Couple of questions about the comp for you Rob:

How high is the barrel for the stone loading?

Are knee wraps and suits allowed on the squat event?

Cheers

Think in all fairness this is not gonna happen this year!

No one nos what comps are when so trying to sort a date is proving difficult, obv sarah aint a mind reader lol
Also shes pissed that everyone has been going on about more 105 comps yet we have had 4 people confirm.

Maybe next year when theres some sort of order to Strongman, we may try again.

Sorry to the 4 who had comfirmed,

Rob I think you can get more guys, especially if you open it up to Anders and his Swedish guys. Have the Scottish been informed about this? I bet 2-3 of their guys would be interested. Will and Jonny, why not just do both competitions? It's not like there's an abundance of 105kg comps and the competition the day after will be much lighter anyway.

I am gutted. If I had known about the date change a couple of days ago I would have done this instead but I just put a deposit down for a week away over that half term so theres no way I could do this date now.

The U105 at Londons Strongest Man is going ahead now which is either the 5th or 6th july.
