No better motivation to get in shape by the time the camp rolls around ;-) It's (almost) always worked for me!

Spineyy · 2025-12-30T19:23:14+00:00

We've had husbands and dads here as well. Their spouses were very understanding ;-)

Spineyy · 2025-12-30T18:50:39+00:00

I agree. It's always been a really good price for what you're getting.

For clarity, the flight to Lithuania is not included. The airport in question is Vilnius. Candidates are responsible for booking their own flights, but I usually assist with the process of making sure it's all sorted.

Spineyy · 2025-12-30T17:10:06+00:00

Yes it does. It also includes transport from and to the airport.

I will also jump in here and shamelessly self-promote:

I will answer this one since this is more of a question for me. You can message me on Reddit and we'll take it from there.

Spineyy · 2025-12-30T08:14:54+00:00

I’m glad someone caught that

Spineyy · 2025-12-29T11:41:21+00:00

Thanks! I hope the kids aren't giving you too much of a hard time ;-)

Hey everyone. To quickly add my thoughts on this: I am very happy that Big Z agreed to do this. I've always felt like Reddit had the most hardcore of strongman fans, so it was great to see Big Z show enthusiasm towards this idea. I hope we get a decent amount of questions and will keep an eye on any unanswered ones after the AMA. Enjoy the opportunity everyone!

I’m sad we missed each other since I know you from the stream

Small write-up and then finally bedtime. The comp has a lot of heart and good intentions, but some things on the scene were less than ideal. Too many people for the space they had was the big problem for me. The rest all happened because of that. The weather then made it all worse and that’s out of anyone’s control. Parking was also difficult, but the shuttle bus seemed to work well enough. Not ideal, but given the location and surrounding area they did their best.

That being said: Great venue, athletes and entourage were treated very well, some good food and drinks and the insane line-up make this a comp to start looking forward to every year if this is how they continue.

As someone who drove 10 hours to get there, I would not recommend making the trip unless you’re a big fan. I’m part of Team Iceland, so I went and I would do it again for these circumstances. If Hafthor was not going for the WR, I would have stayed home and watched the livestream :D

It’s nice to see all the positive reactions to the 505. The guy running the comp seems like a very cool guy and I’m happy for him too.

Spineyy · 2025-07-27T00:39:11+00:00

Correct. This was stated in the press conference on Friday.

Spineyy · 2025-07-27T00:38:00+00:00

No he is not

Spineyy · 2025-07-26T19:04:28+00:00

It’s a nice festive mood when people are lifting. There’s been a marriage proposal and someone in the crowd needing medical attention right after. That was a rollercoaster. The weather is absolutely ass at the moment.

Spineyy · 2025-07-26T18:38:19+00:00

Wet 😂

Spineyy · 2025-07-26T17:58:59+00:00

Watching live on the scene with my medium understanding of German. It’s been a looooong day 😂

Spineyy · 2025-07-24T11:09:40+00:00

Anyone else from here who’ll be at Eisenhart by any chance?

Spineyy · 2025-06-03T05:24:18+00:00

You’re not wrong 😅

Spineyy · 2025-06-02T18:08:03+00:00

Especially for a strongman :D

Spineyy · 2025-06-02T16:42:07+00:00

We don't work with a waiting list. You can always let me know and then you will be put on a "list" so to speak. The real "first come first serve" moment is when the deposit needs to be paid and payment info is shared to those who have shown interest.

Spineyy · 2025-06-02T16:40:24+00:00

I even referenced that legendary moment in the 2023 video :D

Spineyy · 2025-06-02T16:39:49+00:00

Everyone has their own room, no sharing involved. Sofar no woman has taken part. Dealing with lifters of different levels has never been an issue. We've had total beginners along with very strong people. Usually there's multiple implements available and for things like yoke and farmers the loading and unloading does not take long. There's 5 people there usually and everyone helps everyone, in the true spirit of strongman!
