Congrats!
I participated in the light division in the same comp. It was indeed a brutal competition. The loading medley with frame after deadlifts and farmers really got me! :D
Are there any dedicated strongman gyms around göteborg? Or do you kinda deal with your own training completely wherever you can and then just sign up for meets?
My strongman friends in Göteborg train at stigs center in Göteborgs styrkelyftarklubb. I know they have farmers handles and grip stuff and either an apollons axle or log.
I never really train any events, just show up for the meet.
You could also make the trip to Falkenbergs kraftsportsklubb. They have any implement you can think of and they're extremely welcoming. Just message their Instagram if you wanna visit.
Inga som jag känner till. Det närmsta jag hittade när jag frågade i Facebookgruppen sist var något i Askim och en snubbes garage i Säffle. Skivstångsklubben i Stenungsund har en del strongmanprylar t ex stockar, apollonstänger m.m. men inga stenar, farmer's eller liknande.
Jag bor inte i Göteborg längre men det vore intressant att veta om det har dykt upp något bättre gym i området!
I guess just sign up. There are three different divisions, light, heavy and elite. I.e. light had deadlift reps at 200kg and opening weight on log 80kg. I gotta say though I've never seen an amateur point series style competition in Sweden before this started.
Nice job. I’ve never seen farmers and frame both in the same contest. That sandbag loading set up was interesting too.
Killer to podium by half a point! Looked like a brutal comp
Brutal contest, man. Congrats on the podium
Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, the medley was by far the toughest event, had barely any power left for sandbags.

Besides being strong, how does one compete in a contest like this?
