Battle at Baywood write up
What a great day we had at the Baywood Greens golf course for the "Battle at Baywood!" Could not asked for a better venue! Just an awesome setting for a strongman contest! There were 16 competitors in this the first year of "Battle at Baywood."
Some highlights of the contest were Dimitar Savatinov pressing 360lbs over head in the max log press event. Then asked for 410lbs to give the crowd a good show and came inches with in locking it out! Truely a great effort!
Mark Coty and Triston Cooper went toss for toss in the last man standing keg toss event. The two of them maxed out both hitting 17 feet, but missing at 18 feet.
Larissa McCrae was the line competitor in the Womans class and she gave a gutsy performance all day long, hitting numerous PR's.
Be sure to check out the www.teambix.com contest results section, for full results of the "Battle at Baywood." Thank you to all of teambix members, Gavin, Jon Ward and Mark Coty for helping make this a great first year contest!

Eye of the Tiger Write-up
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:

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.
