Really, for some reason I enjoy them and always have been good at it.

Now for the log, I hate it. It's by far my worst event.

Fickel Fingers is always a cool one.
But stones are king in my book

whoa... fingers are cool but very rare that you would see them at an ametuer event or have a gym equipt with them to practice. I would love to try them though... being only 5'8" I owuld be at a huge disadvantage on that one and practice would only help!

Not a competitor, but out of the choices listed i like to watch car deadlift best.

I chose the truck pull. It is amazing to see a truck at a dead stop being pulled by the sole strength of one man over quite a long distance.

I like stones b/c they are fun and are really a true test of overall strength. However, I also like tire flipping. Nothing better then muscling a huge tire and hearing it thud. And they look cool too
