Central Maine Strongman

The Augusta Armory was filled with several strong men and women as the Central Maine Strongman competition took place on Saturday. I was there for a few hours and saw a couple of the competitions. There was an overhead log press and something I'm calling the keg run.

The Central Maine Strongman Competition is coming up this Saturday at the Augusta State Armory and I decide that I am going to give it a try this year. I've been lifting for several years now and it's always something that I wanted to try.

An article on bodybuilder.com had a top ten list of the 'strongest states' in the country. They came up with the list from the over eight million people who are members of BodySpace, a website that users list their personal best with bench press, deadlift and squats. This top ten list is a combined average for everyone in that state, men and women combined. Here's the top ten list.

You might have seen the World's Strongest Man competitions on ESPN. They pull buses, flip tires, and do so many amazing feats of strength. You'll get a chance to see some local athletes show how strong they are this Saturday at the Augusta State Armory. It's the 6th annual Central Maine Strongman.
