2014 was supposed to be the year I give myself a self-imposed break and not compete at all. But that definitely did not happen. My friend Ahmad Taufiq Muhammad gave me a call and asked me to join the inaugural the Singapore Strongman Classic.
We met up for coffee and he handed me this giant envelope with an invitation. I said no. I was definitely not prepared. I was training inconsistently and definitely have not had any Strongman Training in probably a year. Taufiq said just do it – you’ll be fine.
Should i do it?
Figured i shouldn’t but the growing itch, the need to compete is something hard to ignore. Decided on it a 2 weeks out. I will compete but wasn’t delusional that I will place well.
Competition was split up into 3 main categories
- Men’s Open (Invitational)
- Men’s Novice
- Women’s
In the Men’s Open 3 events:
- Deadlifts – 170kg, 200kg, 270kg for reps,
- Log Presses -100-110kg for reps
- Atlas Stones 140kg for reps;
So i placed 5th of 9. Not too bad – considering the lack of training.
