1st year of the "Eye of the Tiger" contest was held this past Saturday (June 5, 2010) in Philadelphia, PA. The event was held at "The Arena," www.thearena.biz First and foremost a big thanks to The Arena for their hospitality for the day. Also a big thanks to Willie Wessel's for coming out to be the head judge, Johnny Wasickzo, Brian Shank, Matt Michael and my family for helping with loading weights and getting events ready all day long.
Lots of medleys was the theme of the day. We ended up with 23 competitors and it was a competitive show all day long. The top 3 of each class, were rewarded with a truck pull at the end of the day, being their 6th event.
We also had a powerlifting push/pull meet going on that was sanctioned by IPA and run by Gene Rychlak, Jr. They had 11 lifters, results are found here:

It was a great first year and look for Eye of the Tiger to be an annual event held on the first weekend in June every year!

great weekend
A big thanks to all who came out and competed this past Saturday at "The Keystone." I can't thank enough the people who came out and helped load weights, judge, and help with scoring, with out you guys/girls this and any event would be possible. Dione, Johnny W., Troy, Jay, Ryan, and Uncle Benny, thanks for all your help making the day run smooth. I think everybody got a little sun burnt from Saturday, but I'm just thankful it was a nice day with no rain for once!
Some highlights were watching Michael Lusby and Sean McDonough both rep out 12 reps with 220 on the bar for axle presses. Big Zach Reed carried those infamous cylinders 154.1 feet, by far winning the max farmers event. Dennis Akstulewicz pulled 600lbs on his 2nd attempt to win the max deadlift event for the LW231 class. Mike Belby, Matt Buonanatuono, and Shane Romano all had good showings, tieing for 2nd place in the last event, stone over bar.
Results will be posted up this week on the NAS website www.nastrongmaninc.com Next contest will be the "Eye of the Tiger," on June 5th in Philadelphia, PA.
