Or I remember some long pvc pipe laying around Drake statium that we could practice throwing, but it doesnt weigh enough. There are also some logs near my dorm room, but they are way too thick.
Dude. I practice Olympic lifts all the time. But it is NOTHING like a caber, I guarantee it. I emailed my coach, hopefully he'll have an idea. I figure throwing rocks in a field or something should work for "throwing the weight." Farmer's walks are easy to practice. hammer throw maybe not so much, but at least practicing throwing should help.

Find a tree? LOL
What I think I will do is just practice high pulls and grappler abs to train for this.

We seriously need a caber.
I agree wholeheartedly. Mainly for doing them in Wooden. That would be AWESOME!!!
So, since Nathan is competing on the same day, I'm not going to compete :(
I still want to practice though and do some highland games stuff later on.
I really just want to toss the caber.
Bummer man. And just looked at your earlier post, there are no farmer's walks. :(
It would be kickass if there was though.
It says there are farmer's walks on the web site. Where else does it say the events?
What is the URL for the website? I thought it was just the throwing events.

Gotta practice the caber toss.
