Training has been going well for most of us. We've had a few casualties (minor strains, keg-bruises, scrapes, nothing major) but all in all, everyone is looking great and should be well prepared for the upcoming contest on August 8th.
In other news, Erin (who is on our team and has been a client of mine for over 1 year now) will be auditioning for a stunt crew at the end of July. Erin is an actor and with her newfound levels of strength & fitness, hopefully she'll get hired by the montreal-based stunt company!
So, back to strongwoman training. Joyce (my book-keeper and member of the gym:) has joined our crew and is going to kick everyone's ass! The guys watched in horror and amazement on Saturday as she did 10x zercher squats with 90kgs...like it was nothing. She also practiced the stone 'load' the other week and well, it was more like the stone 'launch'. I always knew Joyce was strong but I think she may have found her calling!
We also got some new pieces of strongman equipment this week - the yoke is in (built by member Little Nicky) and Fred delivered our custom 80lb log. Meredith (another team member) tracked down 2 more kegs for us and, believe it or not, an ANVIL. Yep, that big thing that falls out of the sky and crushes Wile E. Coyote - turns out it weighs close to 200lbs...and is one of the objects to be loaded in our upcoming contest.
Exciting times!!
