Welcome to CAP's SHS Strongman Training

If you want to come down and flip tires with the "old man"... do so at your own risk, I am not your mommies (even if I am prettier than some of them). If I tell you to scram--do so. We all help each other and WE ALL CLEAN UP. Bring water and an indomitable will. Check the blog 1 hour before you come down if there is foul weather or just in case--stuff happens. Subscribe by email or blog-reader to get updates (so I don't get 50 texts everyday). And, P.S. Meditate...It is the true Strongman Training.

Putting Together Events Soon/ Scoring

Putting together EVENTS for the Strongman Athletic Performance Challenge now.

Most likely going to consist of (depending on how many teams) CIRCUITS with 3 TEAM-BASED EXERCISES within each circuit. Each circuit will contain:

1. Strength Exercise
1. Agility Exercise
1. Speed Exercise

For example: Using 6 of your teammates - complete the following exercises for time:
1. (Strength) Flip the 1/4 Telephone Pole 30 yards (May use more than one teammate).
2. (Agility) Using three teammates: Throw a car tire 10 yards 15 times
3. (Speed) Using three teammates: Complete 30 yards of suicides

All these will be for 1 time score, you cannot start one exercise until you are done with the last. When your team is through with all three exercises you get a time. (For example 3 minutes 23 seconds)

SCORING

The score will take your team's time on each event and match it against all other teams score at that circuit.
Each score will be ranked and given TALLY POINTS:

10 TALLY POINTS for First Place Time per Circuit
9 TALLY POINTS for 2nd Place
8 TALLY POINTS for 3rd etc.

BUT -- there will also be **BONUS** points per circuit:
For example: In the previous Circuit: If only 1 person flips the 1/4 TELEPHONE POLE your team gains
an additional BONUS POINT for the Circuit + what ever TALLY POINTS
your team receives. OR if you are supposed to throw the tire 10 yards 15 times and at least 5 of your throws go 20 yards you might receive an extra BONUS POINT - or more!

The Circuit Judge will make you aware of BONUS OPPORTUNITIES.

At the end the team with the best combined TALLY + BONUS POINTS WINS!

Strategy: Use the strengths and weaknesses of your teams well! This is a TEAM-BASED CHALLENGE.

See you out there JUNE 14th - 9 AM - BOYLE STADIUM SHS
