Will this be your first strongman contest?

Good idea. Yes it will be farmers (80kg each bag, amateur class) for max distance on the comp. I dont know how long the lane is (in other words, how many turns) and the turn is what Iam struggeling with.

Yes its my first comp!

Can you put down the implement? If so, that is the easiest way to turn.
It won't be your last! Have fun and good luck man!

Nope, putting it down ends your run since its not on time :/

Great training. Squats were awkward and had a lil discomfort in right knee and hammie. Went ligt, after all, those were not my focus today. Klokovs are great and helps to improve all my overhead work from the increased shoulder flexibility. Had fun outdoors with the lads today, love the summer and to lift outside and challange each other. Back at it thursday for more event training.

And that is why you win!

Klokov's treating you good?

[big_swede]

Hell yeah!

Klokovs are great! Ive started to do them before squatting instead of my regular shoulder stretching and warmups. Good stuff!

Awesome work Swede! Love the videos. Really glad to see you making good progress now that the worst of the injuries seem to have healed up.
