Calling all Michigan (and other Midwestern) strongmen!

Hey Guys, I know we have a good number of guys from Michigan here in the S & P so I thought I'd let everyone know about this. A local gym in my area (Mt. Pleasant) is having a strongman comp on June 21st. It's a North American Strongman (NAS) event and I thought it might be a good opportunity for a few of us to meet and compete. Here's a link to the entry form, check it out:

I would love to do this. I'm not sure I got the PDF right, is it just one page?

I was hoping to do this and actually emailed the promoter about the events, but realistically, it might be tough. I've got a baby due on June 15th.

I would love to do this...What numbers do you think I should be hitting before entering? So as not to embarrass myself.

Don't worry about embarrassing yourself. The best way to find out where you're at is to jump right in. I've got a ton of strongman crap at my house in Plymouth if you decide you're interested in having a go at it.

Next weekend, I'll be in Chicago competing and I'll probably take the following weekend off from event work, but after that, I should be pretty open.

I'll hit some rock-bottom numbers with you!
