  Carly L. asked:

  So Im in Charlotte, NC and it seems to be super hard to find any comps anywhere, almost ever. Anyone in NC have any advice on where to go? I have a gym to train at, just no comps nearby!

  

  Gabrielle H. replied:

  Beyond that, there is one in Richmond, VA in August, one in Kentucky in August, one in northern Virginia in August, and several others along the east coast that I'm sure I'm missing. The startingstrongman.com forums and events page is a great place to start.

  Quinn R. asked:

  Has anyone used the elitefts stone trainer? Any reviews on it? Pros/cons? I don't have the ability to get stones. This seems like a more college/economy friendly way.

  Toby T. asked:

  I'm looking at the Strongfit Sandbags. I want one for my garage. Only one due to space so I'm looking for recommendations on size. I was thinking 160 or so. Something for carries and multiple rep sets.

  

  Kalle B. replied:

  Had this discussion earlier. Get a 200 and you can always put more or less sand in them. Remember you can get them at startingstrongman.com

  Adam W. asked:

  Looking to improve my log press and deadlift before US Strongman Nationals in Indianapolis in late June. In the past, I have felt like I have both overtrained and undertrained these lifts with minimal results. I've tried various programs, some low volume, some high volume. In both lifts I struggle with not incorporating my legs enough...particularly very little leg drive in the log press. I'm thinking about consulting with some Oly-lifters to work on techniques and perhaps some mobility issues...any suggestions on programming or different mechanics or techniques?

  

  Kalle B. replied:

  Search log Press on the site I have a few articles on it www.startingstrongman.com or just google "fixing your log press"
