ASA-FitExpo Strongman Challenge

In the tradition of another heavy Odd Haugen-inspired strongman contest, the 2005 ASA-FitExpo Strongman Challenge won't disappoint anyone who thinks footraces are for track.

Here is the tentative list of six events, spread over two days. On Saturday, February 19, Odd is planning:

1. IronMind® Apollon's Axle™ for maximum weight
2. Giant Farmer's Walk with 400 pounds in each hand ("we will take it to another level")
3. A medley consisting of a 600-pound front carry (Zercher style), followed by the power stairs with a 500-pound implement very similar to what was used at the 2004 Battle of Muscle Beach.

Now that everyone is warmed up, the second day will see:

1. Deadlift with a 1200 pound tire on an apparatus, for reps
2. 1,000-pound Yoke carried for 50 feet
3. Stones, carried and loaded (five stones, ranging from 308 to 385 pounds)

The 2005 FitExpo is scheduled for February 18 - 20 in Pasadena, California.
