Strongman Competition Elliott Hulse 10.09
I HATE losing… I hate losing so much that once failure has reared it’s ugly face, I don’t even acknowledge it.
I simply pretend like it’s not even there! –
“Just keep it moving, act like it never happened.”
This is a resourceful approach when I’ve done crazy shit like blowing money on a bet or getting my ass kicked when wrestling my my little brother (who is a martial arts instructor and Jujitsu Jui Jit Zu guy).
But when it comes to losing in one of the 4 most important things in my personal development model.
I’ve discovered that FACING the failure is much more benefitial to my spiritual and emotional growth than simply ignoring it.
So, here I am (video below) getting my butt whooped in a Heavy Weight strongman show last month.
Most would argue that taking 3rd place in a show where most of the competitors outweighed me by about 60 pounds is pretty good.
But “pretty good” has NEVER been my goal.
Winning at all costs… that’s how I like to play!
If you’re as COMMITTED To winning at all costs, like I am… then you’ll need to get your hands on the right tools for constructing a super strong physique.

Strongman Competition Tips
Here is my video response to a question sent in by fellow strength coach and hulsestrength.com reader Mike Rojas owner of Strong101 in Cali.
Mike asks:
Hey Elliott,

I had a few questions on your Strongman Training. I am entering my first comp. in July out here at the North San Diego County Contest. I was wondering if you can post up some helpful hints for the events we will be competing in. Like Technique / What to Wear / What to Eat during Comp…?
First Event: Press Medley
Secong Event: Sandbag Carry / Wheel Barrow Push
Third Event: Axle Deadlift for Reps
Fourth Event: Yoke Walk
Fifth Event: Stones
I am also training four other guys to compete there as well, should be a bad ass time!
Thanks bro for your help… Take Care.
P.S. let me know if you need anything from me, I will do what I can.

Strongman Training, Life, Love and Family
What does it means to have INTEGRITY?
Do you live a life that is “one” with your values and time-tested principles?
Is your life a living manifestation and consistent with the words you speak?
Do you experience a sense of “wholeness” between your family, career, self improvement and recreation?
To me, INTEGRITY is the glue that binds all of the values that I hold dear to my heart together. It serves as the barometer by which I measure my life results against my stated values and goals.
Every so often, I am forced to reflect on the direction my life is moving… sometimes I am moving so fast down the highway of life that I even forget to check my map!!
This weekend I added one more plaque to my wall of worldly accomplishments, but did it serve as a means towards my deepest convictions and values?
Find out below… then please take a moment to answer the questions I posted below, thanks.
** What are your DEEPEST convictions?
** What values do you hold dearest to your heart?
** How is your life a living testament to all that you believe to be right and true?
