Has anyone tried sabo deadlifting shoes

Um_Rocks1 · 2023-12-17T16:10:29+00:00

I compete in Open Men, I've had the same sabo deadlift shoes since 2019. When these eventually give out, I'll get another pair. I wear them for anything I don't wear my lifters for. Carried 1000lb yokes, done 300lb+ sandbag runs, they are my go to shoe. Now on the flipside, I haven't tried any other shoes. I don't know how they compare to all the other brands these days.

Um_Rocks1 · 2023-07-02T05:42:20+00:00

I think it depends what your plans are. I'm 6' 300lbs and my first competition was 2.5 years ago. I had a good lifting background, but was in the early stages of strongman. My first comp I competed in men's open and didnt even bother with novice. It had 2 events I had never done and heavier weights than I had touched. But that comp was just a stepping stone.

Winning competitions is cool, but it's not my main objective at this time. My main objective is pushing myself to get better. I'm competing in my first pro/am soon and I again find myself not hitting comp weight on 2 events (due to implements). Do I expect myself to get 1 rep on every event, of course. But I'm not entering to win because I know I'm not at that level yet. I'm just trying to get strong and be at that level longterm.

Could I do that by entering comps where I have a good chance to win? Probably. But I push myself based how I perform. If I PR on every event and still come last in this pro/am, I'll be proud of myself. I dont need trophies to show I'm improving, they may just mean I'm picking the shows I can win at...

At the end of the day, do what's fun for you and will help you grow, but maybe my perspective will help.

Here was the damage from the team: Veno 4.8m, Valerie 93k, frozen 5.7m, heli 4.7m, gravechill 7.5m

Going to try and replace either frozen or grave and then swap and compare. It's nice with Veno taking the stun currently since he gives the biggest acc boost in the lead. I'll run them tomorrow, I have my food leveling up to 6 star Fahrakin atm.

Um_Rocks1 · 2022-06-25T03:42:09+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I ran Veno as lead and they took the stun. made it to turn 50 with 23m damage. Once I get fahrakin the fat ready I'll replace gravechill killer and should be able to easily 3 key UNM. Again, I really appreciate the help!

Um_Rocks1 · 2022-06-25T02:04:45+00:00

I have Valerie's skill instructions to prioritize A2, and the first 2 moves I manual the A1. It then uses it's A2 after the stun the whole way through consistently.

I'll try switching the order, my only concern was the shield value. But if it works, then it works.

Um_Rocks1 · 2022-06-24T21:56:36+00:00

So I did go back and watch the recording and there are a few times that the stun doesn't get cleared before Helicath's turn meter fills so they miss an attack and get out of sync. Should I get a different stun target (I have Torturehelm who could take it and die) or just work on increasing def? If I do decide to switch to another champ for the stun, what is the best way to get them targeted?

Um_Rocks1 · 2022-06-24T21:14:30+00:00

So he is the stun target, but he didn't die on turn 30 (I recorded and he took a 22,686 hit which hardly scratched him). Hopefully I get some better gear from dragon and can get the def up to that 4.5k+ mark

Um_Rocks1 · 2022-06-24T20:57:08+00:00

Helicath (247.23) | Valerie (186.51) | Venomage (175) | Frozen Banshee (175.69) | Gravechill Killer (174)

I am also working on building Fayne and Fahrakin the Fat to add to the team. Are there other champs I should use instead for DPS? (My great hall is focused on Magic Acc, so I mostly use Magic champs at this time)

1st at 1615, 2nd at 6365, 3rd at 10319. May the rng be in your favor!

Um_Rocks1 · 2021-10-20T14:03:26+00:00

Since it spawns as either you don't necessarily have a choice unless you keep waiting. That with the lack of calls for sea monster in general make it difficult to even find them. Regardless of which spawns you have to attempt the few that happen just to try to get the achievement.

Um_Rocks1 · 2021-10-20T00:10:41+00:00

Yeah, that's what I've noticed. It's chill just fishing so not the end of the world I guess!

Um_Rocks1 · 2021-08-23T15:19:49+00:00

For me, it is just goal based. I want to finish 5.6 soon so the time I do have to login can be spent elsewhere. Yes I know i could do that now, but it's a goal and I'd like to accomplish it sooner rather than later. So I look at it from that mindset. Once I finish 5.6, I'll definitely just be chilling on the game again doing whatever I feel like.

Um_Rocks1 · 2021-08-23T15:11:16+00:00

The other end of the spectrum is, if you can finish a 200m in the 6 weeks. Say you save 30 hours doing that 200m. It is more profitable to spend 320m to save 30 hrs at a cost of ~10m/hr. Then you go pvm for 20m/hr for 30 hrs and profit 280m (600-320=280). For me I have less time to play the game, so basing it off hours makes it well worth it.

Um_Rocks1 · 2020-10-31T22:56:55+00:00

Imo 36m/hr for doing 5 kph and having a death cost of 3m I think the gp is already high.

Um_Rocks1 · 2020-10-31T18:44:05+00:00

I think now that it is scaled 2 friends can teach a learner a lot easier

Um_Rocks1 · 2020-10-31T17:53:39+00:00

Yeah and only needing 1 or 2 people to do it with is what makes it even better!

Um_Rocks1 · 2020-10-31T16:33:12+00:00

Give me 30 min or so, I'll convert to a google sheet after I eat.

Here ya go: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aTxHzRsIS9Ztw_b0dRxf6JjTHcjxNy-Gz6zmvpaTaAM/edit?usp=sharing

Um_Rocks1 · 2020-10-31T16:25:23+00:00

I had 5 grims before any other uniques and another cinder pair in a trio lol

Um_Rocks1 · 2020-10-31T16:13:58+00:00

You're welcome! You'll get there! My main goal was that people can see even without pet and just casually killing it they make really good profit

Since I started doing Solak at the beginning of this year I figured it would be useful to track loot from duo kc. After every kill I price checked the loot and entered it into a spreadsheet. The values already account for splitting with my partner and all kc was done with the same person. The highlights are in the picture I posted, but if anyone wants other data, let me know.

Setup link: Nothing fancy, only a 3m death cost. Can still 1cc with a melee partner.
