my first comp in germany?

[Mellos]

Well done!
Expectations surpassed in the first, beating two guys without training in the second and almost reached your target despite being worn out by the previous heavy overhead stuff in the third event.

Did you catch that Olympic lifter´s name?

Very good performance, you totally owned that DB, maybe a banker event now?
How close where the points, sounds like it might have been very close.

Maybe less training is actually more?

It´s Markus Krümmer, I knew it. Seriously, you can´t compete anywhere in Germany without meeting the guy, it´s weird.
He uploaded a video of the thing btw:

Quite impressive! That axle press looks dangerous, the way the whole things starts jumping around when you drop it...

Thanks folks for kind words

But hey, went in unprepared, and got my ass handed back. It's ok

With a bit more training could have squeezed few more reps, but pretty happy about where my base level of strength is these days too.

Aye it was markus, pretty much only talked to markus and one other guy, rest was just hand shaking and back patting, need to learn the language!

Hehe yeah,
but it wasn´t much better for me when I competed against/with some of those guys in Poland.
I had a little talk with the winner of this comp about his strongman training (that guy is just crazy strong for his age) and we needed someone to translate almost every sentence
