details
go for it
weight wise you can do the clean+press (especially if you can push press it, which you normally can with strongman), only issue there is the log aspect
that farmers walk sounds easy for you
the deadlift depends on the weight you are lifting, but probably can manage atleast 1
truckpull sounds good, large legs help you there
secret events might screw you over, but looking pretty good for they ones they have shown
That sounds super fun! I'd definitely enter if I had the chance, those events sounds really good and I'm at the almost perfect weight for the under 75kg female category.
Plus it's strongman so technique will not be that strict (i.e. can pushpress and hitch deadlifts)
ENTER!

ENTER!
the only problems i see you having issues with is log clean and press. cleaning a log is completely different technique to a barbell(my mate who i train with can log clean 80-90kg but his ohp is 10kg less then mine)
i reckon you'd get at least 5 reps with it, if you can have a chance to practice with a real log prior, then thats great if not just go for it on the day.

Seriously considering it atm. May see if a local gym has a log i can go practise with once to see what it's like though...
Will be farmers walking with the 50s DBs in practise but apparently proper farmers walks are a lot easier than picking up DBs of equivelent weight.
Think he said if you can deadlift 140+ you'll manage the car due to leverage and it'll probs be a trap bar type grip so i can practise that at 160+.
For the truckpull we hae a sled at our gym and someone i know is entering a different strongman comp in aug/sep time and he's doing sledpulls as poractise so will be joining in with that.
Secret events will probably be loading medleys or something so could kill me but nvm...

True, will check with the big gyms in Brighton if they have a log and if so will go in and have a go.

Got a reply to my email.
Cheetahs do have a log bar.
May head down in like 2 weeks time and give it a go at 60kg to practise for the comp.(If i enter)
I will be seriously disappointed if you don't enter, btw. What reasons do you have for not entering

Urm, only thing i can think of is it's a sunday and i work seasonally over summer at ASDA and i handed in my "when i can work" form last week. Will have to go back and ask if i can have that sunday off as well. Whcih they wont like as they're very busy sundays...
Also, not sure how easy it is to get to the place from Brighton. Will have to investigate trains/Buses...

if only you had a motorbike you could ride to the event on, that would be so much easier, and more fun...

YEa, that's exactly what i want after a long day of destroying my body with very heavy weights. A nice ride on a motorbike to kill me even more on the ride home...

probably easier than walking to nearest bus station
Exams, no Gym
Did get bored in the last hour and investigated handstand push ups. First time i struggled holding the balance as i felt really heavy.
After a few handstands with feet hitting wall occasionally i actually managed to get a few out before falling controlled-ish to the bed...
First few were tiny ROM, next few were a bit better. Something to try just for fun i reckon when i dont have access to the gym. Need to work on freestanding balance for these then crack them out and look awesome...

If you are doing the strongman comp (which I would recommend purely for the buzz from competing) then I would certainly make a roadtrip to get a practise session in with a strongman log.
A log bar is no good, the log clean will need to be learnt, I'd watch plenty of videos if I were you.

I will be making a trio into Brighton to go to the nice gym with log and farmers walks stuff in like 2 weeks. Am on holiday for a week atm...
Good idea.
