Farmer’s Walks and Tyre Flips
The last DOUBLE -DOSED structured training session before the Qualifiers witnessed many of our members breaking new ground in their quest for physical advancement. Indeed, many Behemoths are arguably peaking at just the right time to tackle the Big Day.
Farmer’s Walks
The farmer’s walk segment of the session was dominated by Van The Man. He made walking with 110kg in each hand for 15 metres look like a walk in the park (pun intended) with a personal best timing of 9.5 seconds.
Our latest member of the Behemoth family, the affable and helpful Ho, in only his second session with us, persevered to complete 10 metres with 110kg. We are sure that with more training sessions under his belt, Ho’s potential for physical perfection will be finally utilized.
Another Personal Record was set by our Japanese export, Hyoshida. The big man epitomized the Japanese byword for efficiency and speed by making 100kg look like a breeze with a timing of barely 12 seconds.
The younger members were no crouches in the farmer’s walk either. Kevin, one of our newer members finally managed to complete a full 90kg pass. The fact that he dropped the implements a few times and then gritted his teeth to continue with the walk attested to his intestinal fortitude-a desirable attribute which we hope to inculcate in all our members.
In the same vein, wunderkid Glenn in spite of his low bodyweight managed to make a 10m pass with 90kg. Bearing in mind that he could barely do 70kg when he first came, you have to hand it to this young man with a big heart!
Hence the Commendable Mention for this week belongs to Glen!
Tyre Flips
The tyre flip segment was a fitting finale to an intense training session. All members hit new heights in their personal battles against tyre. For instance, Glenn and Wei Liang surpassed their previous best.
Jonathan Boey also hit a rep PR when he flipped the tyre a record 25 times! Every other member present that day such as Kevin, Hyoshida and Ho also recorded their best ever timings.
With the Strongman Qualifiers barely a week away, it is clear that our members are in the best shapes ever. We are sure that all of them will put up a good show come the event.
*APOLOGIES FOR THE ABSENCE OF PICS THIS ROUND - WE WERE ALL SERIOUS BUSINESS AT THIS FINAL SESSION BEFORE THE QUALIFIERS.
