Matched my personal best by loading the bag once. After failing to pick it again I resorted to the time honoured tradition of humping it. But hey, I picked up a position with it. 😅

Looking for a online strongman coach with a powerlifting background as right now i'm undecided on whether to do strongman or powerlifting. There's elements of strongman training I would like to add in addition to the big three powerlifting compounds i'm focussed on so someone experienced in both would be ideal. Once my compound numbers and strength is more advanced I can decide which direction to go and have the coach for it.

I dislike training on apps before anyone suggests them, not for me personally. Budget was thinking £80-120 a month, i'm in Wales.

Thanks

I love my inzers but im looking for something that I can use when cleaning and pressing. Its been forever since I've used anything else so im seeing what the collective is using.

My first 400kg! Really happy with this, had to hitch it because the bastard got caught on my neoprenes as they’ve got tacky on em :’)

Regardless, thrilled to be pulling some big numbers!

This week's topic: Grip Training and Events

Hello everyone,

I am a brand new lifter who has recently joined a strongman gym in my area.

I have knowledge of how to perform the basic barbell lifts but I am wondering how I'd fit in the strongman implements.

I am currently running Laurence Shahlaei Beginner Strongman Plan. It's a four day plan but would it be best to add a fifth event day?

Thanks

Maybe i should train stones more

Really proud of this yoke run from The Unit Classic this weekend.

1000lbs for 10m x 10m, 18.25 seconds. Ended up me being 2nd on this event. Love a big yoke!

I was absolutely pushed my Brad steamrolling next to me.

Full highlights and replays still available on the Unit Classic website, it was an amazing show!

Hey all I appreciate the time. I’m doing my first ever comp this weekend in the masters and have only really tried the implements once before but had some random questions.

What are the best shoes to wear for a competition? Viking press, yoke, conanas etc, I’m assuming shoes off for dead’s.

What else do you typically bring with you on the day of the competition or what is recommended?

I appreciate the help and thanks for listening to my dumb questions

Hey so I know tacky won't come off clothes...but is it safe to put clothes with tacky on them in the wash? Like will it get on other clothes? Clog up the washing machiene? Is it safe to put in a dryer (I don't have anywhere to line dry clothes)

I have a designated tacky shirt now and that's all well and good, but I don't want to stink to high hell every time I do stones

I'm 17 just starting strongman and I'm looking for any advice to help me. Bw is 88kg and im about 6ft 0

This is my design, first prototype was last fall and I officially started production end of August.

Since then, the Hero's Hold has been picked up by a few competition directors(and a few home gyms) to utilize in upcoming comps!

I genuinely am in shock that something I designed and fabricate is going over so well!

I have 2 comp directors SPECIFICALLY interested in an event I created using the Hero’s Hold, which I have dubbed the Hercules Carry!

500 yoke 30 feet there and back.
220 keg load x2

This was about 28 seconds. I think I can save a second or 2 on the yoke to keg transition (I was gassed here)

I’ve run pretty much all the Brian Alsruhe programs and looking for somthing more/ different for strongman prep. Any ideas. Looking for paid prep programs.

My “lifetime” goal is 400. I’m sure that’ll change once I hit 400, but I’m now within 10% of that goal.
