Peakes Strongman Tentative events... subject to change, but will not be major changes.
1. Atlas Stones
2. Farmers Walk 275lb
3. Truck pull, harness (no tire deflation this year guys!)
4. Over head press medley
5. Deadlift event or tire flip

Once events are finalized, I will post actual weights.

Any ideas on the events J?

Hey guys,
I just had a change of date, as of today on the Peakes Strongman. It will be held on June 27th, Saturday, instead of July 1st. This will allow us to not have such a press for time and we will be the main event for launching the weeklong festival.
Keith, I have you down brother.

it is Jay ross smith on face book

Jay smith lives there now he might decide to do some training you can find him on face book or you tube.

Alright, so nothing in Yarmouth. Anyone know if there's anyone in the area with a reasonable gym that would allow gear? Or anyone that might be doing some strongman training?

As far as I know there is nothing in yarmouth except fish. I think PEI is the only place doing that as of right now.

Grant, I was wondering if there are any amateur or junior competitions in the area this summer? Or do you know of anything down around Yarmouth?

So it look like the show up here in sydney will be a go but it looks like the date will be moved to sometime in late may early june i`ll have to talk with the people interested to see what works best with them. There seems to be a ton of interest up here and within 2 days we got a couple sponsers and the CBRM and the Sydney downtown chamber of commerce helping us so hopefully we can draw a good crowd and have good turn out of competitors i should have a exact date by the end of next week

he must be out showing everyone the road map.

Hey framer it's looking like April 25th (saturday) up in sydney and i have tried calling you several times man your never there.

When, where, how many days. YOu haven't called me either. haha

As of right now i'm just putting this out there to see if there would be enough interest but i'm playing with the idea of putting on a competition up here in Sydney probably on the last Saturday of April. Grant and Terry have both expressed interest including myself i would like to have about 3 -5 more people say that they could do it. i have talked to a few of you guys about getting some equipment made were i'm in a metal fabrication class up here and i talked to the teacher and he thinks he can get the school to donate the steel for the equipment which will be used in the comp. and then me able to sell to you guys at real cheap price if anyone is interested but there is still lots to think about right now i'm just looking for interest from people at the moment. So try and get back to me on here within the next week or so if you are interested. Thanks

We are currently working on hosting the 4th annual Peake's Quay Atlantic Strongman Challenge during the Canada Day Celebrations in Charlottetown. If anyone is interested, please forward your names.... I'll be posting the dates, etc once I get this solidified.
