People stopped calling me an athlete when I was in my 20's. I stopped calling myself an athlete when I hit 40 ;-)

But I do compete in Highland Games---gawds help me--I do love it so!

Do you compete in NAS shows or local shows?

About the only thing I throw with any consistency is bull. But at that I am a champion.

I'm not a "thrower" but a "lifter" One "Pint" after another! Does that count?

Do you compete in NAS shows or local shows?

So far just local backyard games, based off real games but with lighter weights so that everyone can do it, then keep lifting, carrying, holding heavier weights until we find our limit Planning on joining NAHA (cross between strongman and Highland game) this year. No chance of ever winning but I enjoy getting out and doing

DJ Satterfield came up with a great idea when he founded NAHA. It combines the 2 sports in a way that makes Strongman less intimidating than the NAS shows. I have a little insight into the 2 organizations, since I promote a NAS show every year and am the NAHA State Chair for NY. I love both organizations, but NAS has gotten so heavy that many guys just cannot compete. NAHA bridges the gap without making the Strongman aspect too light.
