you'd really want a while in plifting before going on to strongman mateits end of July... some crazy events.. ive never tried before... looking forward to it if I try..
fire truck pull, Alloy deadlift, log press, rock carry..etc
dunno how ill switch up BB training for strongman because i have zero of these items to train with
stick to cleans and squats and Dls i guess
Gain some weight, you don't look that heavy in your pic and you will need it to get that truck moving!
RR will give you some pointers.
interesting that you think BB background would be good for strongman?I disagree.I didnt have any powerlifting background before I went into strongman.Powerlifting does help but I wouldnt say one would have to have any Pl background to do strongman.Alot of our stuff would actually favor a bb style training.Strength is only a percentage of competing. Endurance and consitioning come into play to.
Also Meathead: Julie Havelka wrote a book about strongman.Her and Todd both competed in thier first contest coming straight from gym only lifts.While i wouldnt say that is best you can still do it.
If you are truly interested I would be more than happy to pm you a couple links that will help you find a training group.Strongman crews are generally more than willing to take on new members
serious leg power in oly lifters!I do agree that it doesnt hurt to have a PL background.But I wouldnt discourage someone from doing a strongman comp just because they come from a BB background.A couple of my training partners come from strictly an oly lifting background which an interesting mix when they compete in strongman.
My training during the week is more or less geared toward PL with a 5/3/1 program and then sundays are all strongman events.
yeah, a good friend of mine who i knew through plifting, made it to WSW, and then went on to make waves in BB. unfortunately she passed away young.Lol I completly agree with you on hobby lifters.I eat ,breathe and drink strongman(competing you pervs) .I have been competing since 2004 and still have the drive for it.I have made it all the way to WSW and hope to do so if they have it again before I am to old to compete.
