POWER and pride are on show this Saturday as Kryal Castle plays host to a partner strongman competition titled Game of Stones.<\/p>\n
Run by CB Fitness, the local gym behind the SpringFest strongman challenge, the event will see teams of two go head-to-head in medieval themed feats of strength.<\/p>\n
Organisers said that some of the strongest men and women in the state will be travelling to Ballarat for the comp, while there\u2019ll also be a host of locals trying for the title.<\/p>\n
From 12pm teams will go for most reps with a deadlift with two concrete balls bound to a long axle bar.<\/p>\n
Also on show will be the overhead deadly medley where competitors try to lift four different apparatus over their heads – the log stump, wine barrel Viking press, a bluestone block, and a concrete dumbbell.<\/p>\n
The penultimate event is a 15-metre stone carry and drag, while teams will finally face off in what\u2019s described as a \u201ctraditional strongman event\u201d known as stone loading.<\/p>\n
Yet this time it comes with a twist, as competitors heave and balance rocks weighing between 30 and 170 kilograms onto a see-saw type device.<\/p>\n
Entry to Game of Stones is part of a regular Kryal Castle admission, or free via the double gates from 4pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
