For novice: pick some heavy odd object from the floor, hold it and go for a walk with him. Next pick some lighter odd object from the floor, lift it over your head. Find the biggest guy in your gym, if he can't even pick your second odd object from the floor you are prepared.

Brian, just did my first comp in novice and you are spot on. I competed at almost 60 years of age and had these ratios the week before, still zeroed over head press due to an impingement but the rest were ok. Did well in the farmers and deadlift. Stones were killer at the end and just don’t know why other than my tacky worked like grease, not tacky, that the event went so terrible. You are right on though w the ratios. I would say to all-JUST DO IT! Experience will be good for you and no one is going to laugh at you. Other advice bring your own shade, a fan and a rag to clean up your tacky after the event.

Looking at a comp in the next 4-6 months and it seems like I'd enjoy it. Having competed (and still do) in PL meets over the last 3 years, strongman looks to have the same camaraderie as PL, ie nobody cares what you look like or what you're wearing only that you show up and compete. Can't say the same for other niche sports that are currently very popular. And as usual, another top-notch video.

Thought I'd share my first comp's results, maybe someone will find it useful. In Germany, we have one yearly beginner's cup, which you can only compete at once. After that it's on to the Newcomer Cups (3rd league, essentially). I competed at 90 kg (200 lbs), actually weighing more like 80 kg. My best lifts were probably around 180/105/230 kg (the DL being sumo. Conv was probably 205-215) or 400/231/506 lbs SBD and my CnJ was about the same as my bench. Roughly. It was 6 years ago ^^ First, we did axle floor to overhead with either 55 kg or 75 kg. Won that event in my class and placed 2nd overall. Then we did farmer's walks, last man standing. Walk 20m with a weight and if you get 20m, you get to go up in weight. If you failed, they measured your distance. You could skip weights and weight always beat distance. I made the mistake of taking every weight and with my piss poor grip eventually took a minute to walk 12m with 110 kg (242 lbs). Big mistake bc I had previously picked up 150 kg farmer's (330 lbs) and should just have carried that for a meter. But yeah, hindsight etc. Placed somewhere in the middle, I think. Then we had a 3 keg loading event. Thought I was moving pretty fast but turns out everyone was. My height of 5'7'' wasn' t really a problem. Anyway, somewhere mid-field, again. Last, we did a last man standing prowler push, same rules as for the farmer's and also 60 sec time limit. Bodyweight was a huge factor here, so I placed way behind. Still got 2nd place in my class and 13/30 overall. So yeah, at least in these parts, you won't embarrass yourself with those mediocre numbers. That being said, if you want to make it easy for yourself at least work on the CnJ and your grip. Both of them are force multipliers. I lost so many points on the farmer's walk because I had to shuffle along lest I would lose my grip (forgot to mention: no drops allowed).
