ProRaw IRONEDGE Rep Challenge
To the little guys worried about the monsters manhandling big kettlebells
The best ever lifter I have seen on UDL's is Simon, a 90kg boxer.
The second best is an 84kg footballer, he did over 90 on Tabata UDL, the very first time he ever did one
Its funny how guys that have never competed at a Strongman comp think they know the angles.
Let me tell you NO heavy weight guy is going to win the UDL section, it will be won by someone weighing between 85-105kg.
Anyone weighing 105kg is going to have a hell of a time putting 125kg overhead.
You see, I have done this many times before, I know what works and what doesnt.
The contest format is set, anyone planning on lifting can ask what they like.
If Gawain competes, does ANYONE think the guy that can total 900kg in competition can win this challenge.
The biggest guy will find it very, very tough. If Gawain comes in at a svelte 160kg, he then has to
Bench 180kg for reps
Squat 290kg for reps
Deadlift 340kg for reps
C&P 180kg
UDL 80kg
Still think the comp is favoured to the big guys?

I was just relating it to the Udls, as there had been a few comments about them.
I can clearly see were someone like 180, mike, would clean up on such an event, light and fn strong.
Even piss week, never competed in a strong man event me, could probably pull off all those lifts, just not for many reps.

markos is spot on the money.. it comes don to fitess/conditoining... an athlete will win this comp.. not the strongest guy.... I wouldnt worry about a 80kg KB I guarante all the guys who are as markos says 75-90kg and strong will out UDL guys 120kg + even though there deadlift may be 50kg + less then the heavioer guys.
80kg is light for anyone.. doing it 40+ times becomes a fitness and mind thing . not strengh...

It is what it is Nick, Strong is Strong
I knew you would be in Chris
There will no longer be $1000 on offer for first place
It will be going to second place
First place is now $2000
And third place is $500
Fourth place is $250
Fifth place is $150
Sixth place is $100
I will amend the first post

I can envision an unprecedented number of lifters entering.
I may have to cap it, so dont hesitate.
We have the option of spilling over to the Monday as Monday and Tuesday are public holidays.
The event is being sponsored by Iron Edge.
There will promo posters all over Australia.
The first ProRaw comp was a feeler for sponsors. They wanted to see what would happen. I guess 40 members in 3 months is pretty good.
Another thing, if you dont like the events or the format, dont enter. I found out a long time ago (1962) that you'll never please everyone, so I'll please my self.
The threat of a cap is very real, as I wont need entry fee for the Prize money. The cut off will happen without warning. The quality of the event wont be jeopardized by non commited lifters.
Now stop reading and start training.
Any gym or individual that wants an 80kg KB, Iron Edge will have them in stock early Feb.

Minh suggested PA members contact WADA and find out if they can lift.
As I stated earlier, Paul McManus entered and won a Strongman comp in 2010, that comp didnt fall under the WADA banner either.
I dont know what WADA's rules are, nor do I care, I dont run my comps to please them, or anyone else.
Steve, you know I'll get you eventually, stop resisting lol
Steve, please contact me, Sussy needs a small black Inzer soft suit by ProRawOne

I had been in talks with Rick from day one.
Like everyone, he was careful with where he puts his advertising dollar. Thats why he runs a successful business.
His vote of confidence in ProRaw is very appreciated.
I never panicked or cheapened ProRaw by accepting offers of prizes instead of cash or using what I considered inappropriate sponsors.
It took nerve with ProRawOne because I had promised $4000 in cash prizes. I managed to pull that off WITHOUT a sponsor.
Things will be different now.
There is even a chance Prize money will go up, but cash for the first 6 is a great start.

Its not WADA that decides- the issue is with PA's regulations. But, I'm too fat anyway.
Metal used to run a comp each year, lifters 100kg and under or over 100kg. The smaller guys benched 140 and deadlifted 180 and gthe heavier guys benched 180 and deadlifted 220. They did this for reps. Awesome viking madness!
