With an event win each, Andrew Palmer and Mike Burke both lif the 330lb Stone to Shoulder 5 grueling reps and split the points for first place.
Mike Burke was in LA this week in Group 5 attempting to qualify for a spot in the finals of Worlds Strongest Man. Mike missed that opportunity with a third place finish. Instead he and his fmaily packed and drove the 6 hours from LA to Vegas and thsu far is proving a great choice. With a comfortable points lead after foru events in Day 1 at America's Strongest Man, Mike easily walked his way to victory in the Husafell Stone carry.
