The Natural Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Today I went down and rooted on some friends who were competing in the NAS strongman competition held today at Metroflex. Brandon Ford won the superheavy division. Standout performances of his include 260x10 on the 12" log press and 14 flips in 75 seconds with a 700 pound tire. Brian Dobson walked up to me during the first event. "Rex, we're using your farmer's walk handles. I just assumed it was okay with you. Is it?" "Absolutely." Across the top of one of my handles, I have a bumper sticker that I won at the GGC '08: "Have you trained your grip today?" Those who failed to complete the farmer's walk due to a weak grip (there were several) were able to look down, read it, and absorb the hard lesson that it offers. -Rex Quote "It would be simpler if they had two classes: open and handicapped. If you’re under 200 pounds, under 18 years old, over 50 years old, female, retarded, or missing any limbs, you have the option to compete in the handicapped class. Otherwise you lift in the open class."
