Competition Bodybuilding Routines
US Army Sgt. Dan Kernan is following bodybuilding routines in preparation for a competition with four other men in the novice lightweight division of the 4th annual Allegheny Valley YMCA Strongest Man Contest in Harrison, Pennsylvania. His goal was to lift novice level weights before the competition, and he finally achieved it several weeks ago. He was inspired by other athletes who were lifting 255 pounds at the gym, and this helped him to finally achieve the 200 lb level.
The Strongest Man Contest features a series of five grueling events, including a fire truck pull, a farmer's walk, an overhead steel log press, a stone carry and an axle dead lift. In the fire truck pull, contestants mus pull a vintage 1931 fire truck that's estimated to weight 28,000 pounds for 50 feet in under 3 minutes.
