He will be lifting at the Arnold. You guys going to the Arnold this weekend better be catching the strongman event. If you dont then you're a loser...hahaha

Seriously, the Strongman event at the Arnold is setting up to be one of the best head to head events of the year. Do yourself a favor and go see it.

do you need tickets to get in? If you do how much and where do you get them?

Damn impressive. I've seen Poundstone get a lot of press lately. From what I've read and heard, he deserves it.

Holy hell. Is there a competition that uses a stone that weighs that much? WSM only goes to 160 kilos.

Also, how do you make a stone that heavy? 20 inches of lead?

I think that particular stone has something like a 300lbs lead ball in the center

Yeah those type of stones have lead inserts, they still have some pretty unreal diameters though. Poundstone's stones are looking awesome this year, considering he shouldered the 405 stone, but his pressing is what's gonna win him the Arnold. I can guarentee after watching him manhandle the circus dumbbell in training (the one he uses in training is about 35 pounds heavier than the competition's implement) he will sweep that event and probably win the axle as well. With the training he's had lately (multiple 1000+ pound yokes and frame carries, 410 axle clean and presses, etc) expect nothing less than a show from Derek.

100% agreed. poundstone is gonna destroy the arnold. i hope he steals the spotlight from the bodybuilders too!
