Default hrpiii representing well in strongman

have to brag a little. I placed third in the contest today. Out of 10 contestants in the heavyweight class, I was the third lightest. (Just a little guy to the monsters). I did much better than I had expected. I pushed hard, went all out, and had a blast. I weigh 230 lbs, the guy that came in first weighs 315.. so I held my own, representing the ol' guys. Here are a couple pics

Damn - congrats herpes! Isn't that your first strongman comp? That is fantastic for first time, especially for being so much lighter than the other dudes.

Great work hrpii

Looked like you had a real good time at that event. Do you plan to do anymore competitions like it in the future? Will this victory have any impact on your training routine?

Thanks a lot gang. It felt good. I had shifted up my training for three months in preparation, knowing what events we were going to have. It was my first strongman compitition. The event was local, sponsored by the gym I attend. I think it will promote me to enter some more events, as I had fun first, and the placing was just a huge huge bonus. I think I was the entertainment for the crowd, as I pulled the truck the fastest, knowing that, I jumped up on the tire and gave the crowd a double-bicep pose...hahaha... the crowd (which was about 300 people) just loved it Several older guys came up afterwards and shook my hand, and was glad to see an 'older guy' giving those young guns a run for their money. That felt good.

I think I like the training for bodybuilding, as my diet was pretty shot for this competition. I knew I was going to go up against some pretty big guys, I tried to put on as much 'good' weight as possible. I lost a few abs, but now it's over, and I can get back to the diet and 'routine' training.

If I keep doing good, I'll have to change my name to POWERHRPIII
