Strongman race GOLEM BCROSS GAMES - report

On the weekend of 28.7. in České Budějovice took place the second race for the strongest this year. Bcross Gym decided to start a series of strongman races. This year they plan to finish the competition season with the last race in November/December.

Everything was in a relaxed atmosphere even though the sun was taking a lot of energy from the competitors. The race took place in front of BcrossGym. The main referee of the race was professional strongman Jirka Vytiska, who definitely has something to give to the competitors.

There were three categories in total:

• Women
• Men up to 80 kg
• Men up to 100 kg

First discipline 1min max reps AXEL GTOH

Within one minute the strongmen had to move the axel from the ground to the shoulders and then go overhead.

The girls had 53kg loaded on the axle, there were only 2 of them in the category, but they showed an incredible fight, where the final was decided. Both Pet'a Pavlikova and Maruska Ostrá managed to get the axle over their heads 8 times!

The strongmen up to 80 had 83kg and the best was Martin Filip with 9 repetitions. Next were 3 fighters (Filip Váša, Michal Boháč and Marek Tyl) with 7 repetitions.

The category up to 100kg weighed 103kg. Zbyněk Myslivec and Honza Štasný managed to get 5 reps and shared the first place.

The second discipline was SUPER YOKE + FARMER WALK!

At a distance of 20 meters for each exercise. Here I would like to thank FITNEMA for trusting me and lending me two pieces of super yoke for this season.

The girls had a yoke in the base with a weight of 135kg and suitcases of "shopping bags" in each hand of 46kg. Petya slightly lost her way while walking and let Maruska take the lead.

In the 80 it was again very exciting and the winner was decided by only 4 hundredths, where Marek Tyl came out of the fight better than Michal Bohac. The weight on the yoke was 240kg and 106kg weighed each suitcase.

In the heaviest weight up to 100kg, the yoke was loaded at 280kg and each suitcase at 126kg. This discipline was sovereignly dominated by Honza Štastný. The second place was taken by Zbyněk Zušťák.

3. discipline TIREFLIP

System of 3 + 3 tire flips with a time limit of 90s. Tire weight girls 100kg, men U80kg tires 250kg, U100kg tires 350kg.

Here the girls showed again how, it's even between them. This time Petya Pavlikova won by a fraction of a second.

Marek Tyl clearly dominated the 80s with a time of 46s. He was followed by Martin Filip, a strongman who started 10s later.

The heaviest tire went to the category up to 100kg. Here Zbyněk Zušťák clearly had the most training and gave his rivals a nice lead. Zbyněk Myslivec finished behind him with 16 seconds loss.

ATLAS STONES discipline 4!

Battle in throwing stones over super yoke in time limit 1 minute.

The girls were throwing a 50kg slamball. Both girls performed 12 repetitions in total and so the real highlight will come in the final discipline.

Strongmen up to 80kg were throwing 110kg stone. Here it was clear that the first place will want to keep Marek Tyl, who confirmed it and scored 7 repetitions. Second place in this discipline was shared by Petr Reicher and Martin Filip with 3 monkey bars.

The under 100kg category had a stone heavy 130kg! There was again dominated by the well prepared Honza Štastný, who managed to flip the stove 7 times. Pavel Kliner and Zbyněk Zušťák followed him with 3 less repetitions.

After four disciplines, the last final one came next. Which the organizers did not disclose in advance and kept secret until the final.

In the last discipline was decided and no one was sure of their place, everyone had to give their best.

5. FINAL CAR DEADLIFT - 1 min max reps

The girls had a 250kg tyre loaded and it was clear that whoever won this discipline would win the whole race. Maruška Ostrá did better in this discipline, confirming a better deadlift and beating Petra Pavlíková by 3 reps. Petya 14 reps, Maruska 17 reps.

There was also a decision in the category up to 80kg, where the 3rd place was taken by (Petr Reicher, Filip Váša and Michal Boháč). With that, they could even jump Mark Tyl and Martin Filip, who held the first and second place.

This category had two tires on the car deadlift, which had a total of 600kg. This is where the bread was broken.

Only Marek Tyl 4 times and Petr Reicher 2 times.

Category up to 100kg, she had a Peugot. It was also pulled by only the 2 strongest.

Honza Štastný with 11 reps dominated this discipline. Zbyněk Myslivec lifted the car 4 times.
