Oh... So you think you are the Strongest Knight do ya'?
Well yeah, so come and prove me wrong!
So, the idea of the strongest knight is something I have been talking with fellow strength athletes who also compete in the sport of armored combat/bohurt. It is to be a friendly, and honorable, fellowship of men and women who truly aspire to be the best of the best.
So, basically it is an open competition whereby combining strength, and deeds of arms. Not only do you have to be strong comparatively, you also have to beat the current strongest knight in a battle of three duels agreed upon between the competitors. The current strongest knight can never turn down an open challenge of a qualified competitor. To qualify, you must have a Wilks Score greater than 300. This is a score given to based upon the lifts of bench, squat, and deadlift as it compares to your body-weight. If the 130 pound fighter (male of female) can achieve the score, they have earned the right to challenge the current strongest knight.
To figure out if you can reach the score, follow this link Wilks Calculator
If you are looking for the standards based upon your body weight, there is a good graph provided by Iron Strong www.ironstrong.org
So, anyone who meets the standard, can challenge the current strongest knight. Be it male or female, it doesn't matter. If the challenger wins, they get to wear the mantle of the strongest knight. All past and present strongest knights get to wear the mantle (currently being developed). The current strongest knight gets to wear the exclusive broach on their mantle prominently displaying their status as the strongest knight. It becomes an exclusive order of deeds.
The hope is to encourage people to get stronger and fitter. It becomes a goal for all of us to achieve. It also makes us never rest in our success as a new challenger should be just around the corner. The end result, we have better athlete fighters on the field.
So, get out there an train! Come at me bro!
See you in the lists,
