DEUCE Racing Goes to Strongman Nationals

October 27, 2016 | By

With great pride, I’m happy to share that DEUCE Gym is sending, not one, not two, but three athletes to North American Strongman (NAS) nationals. The two day event takes place in Davenport, Iowa this Friday and Saturday. John Goldstein, Coach Emily Russak, and I will take on the strongest men and women in the country in our respective weight classes.

The two day show is comprised of five grueling events. Athletes are tasked with max repetitions of a heavy axel deadlift, max presses with a giant circus dumbbell, and a yoke carry for time on ‘Day One’. ‘Day Two’ will culminate with each athlete taking their best shot at max distance Hussafel stone carry and a keg/atlas stone loading event.

You can follow the action LIVE from our friends at FloElite here. See you soon!
