You could not have asked for a more beautiful day. The weather in the days leading up to the contest was anywhere from 18-40 for the daytime high so Saturday's high of 58 was very welcomed. We had 18 competitors from New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and even Indiana. Out of those 18, 6 were new members to North American Strongman who had never competed before so it looks like the word is spreading about contests in New Mexico! We got underway a little before the scheduled start time of 10:00 and were finished by 1:30 p.m., getting all the competitors through 5 events in 3.5 hours! This could not have happened without the incredible efficiency of the spotters/loaders Chan and Brandon (both Defined Fitness employees) who quickly reset weights so the next competitor could step right up and have at it.
The grip contest provided some great moments as well. Brian Shaw of Colorado deadlifted the Inch dumbbell with either hand effortlessly, as well as two hand pinched 200lbs and lifted 180lbs on a rolling handle that is 2.5" thick and spins on ball bearings. Clay Edgin of Rio Rancho, performed a one hand deadlift of 572lbs before pulling 672 high enough to count but upon lockout he touched the handle with his non lifting hand and so the lift wasn't accepted.
