Hello DIESELS!
I hope you had a fantastic weekend and had the opportunity to spend time with your family. I stayed away from September 11th shows as much as possible and went to dinner with my family and folks and watched my daughter DIESELFY meat loaf and mashed potatoes.
Here is a write-up of Saturdays Grip Strength Contest, Worlds Strongest Hands Leg 2 (of 3). Incidentally, if you want to come to Leg 3, it will take place on October 8, 2011.

Hello DIESELS!
Its no mystery that I obviously love Grip Training.
Congratulations to Brian Shaw for winning the 2011 Worlds Strongest Man contest!
Brian was tied with Zydrunas Savickas going into the last event, the Atlas Stones, and finished a full stone ahead of Savickas to win the event and the championship!

Usually, when you hear about a horseshoe tournament, you think of a bunch of old sun-burned dudes with beers in their hands wearing tank tops and wife beaters, throwing horseshoes into dirt or sand pits, trying to hit a stake for points.
Double Ringer 6 Points YEAH BUDDY!
Theres an old saying that mentions horseshoes that goes something like this: Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
What that means is that when you have a goal, you need to accomplish that goal, and not just settle for almost got it.
