Strongman Thread

I'm fond of most of them honestly... I'd really like to see Zydrunas Savickas win again, the man is unbelievable. I think he's the greatest modern strongman to compete.

I like Eddie Hall but honestly, I hope he retires like he said he would... He doesn't look healthy.

Agreed ^^^ it's not like a normal sport. I don't think of it as Eddie vs Thor vs Shaw vs Zydrunas it's more of each one of them vs the plane or truck they're pulling, the weights they're lifting.

He has dropped about 40lbs already, looks a lot healthier.
 
Just pressed it light. Proper session tomorrow. Hoping to get up to at least 80kg/175... But... Who knows.
 
Manged 6 singles at 82kg. (it weighs 32kg empty).
Tried and failed at 90 several times.

Finished with a load of presses at just the 32. Shoulders know about it.

Then atlas stones practise at 75kg. Couldn't do 110.
 
Very nice! Mine is only gonna be 530lbs and it's coming up shortly... I think the Yoke-into-farmers will be my best event... But, I guess you never know!
 
Full mock comp for me tomorrow (well, 4 out of the 5 events, at least).
Hoping for a slight improvement from my attempts on Sunday.
 
I wanted to ask you before and forgot, what kind of cycle were you running leading into this? Any TNE, halo, etc on the day of?
Indeed.

I wondered the same.

And also how the forum feels about the use of very expensive pre workout, typically south American...

I was using 350mg of tren Ace and 250 mgs of test per week, along with 25-50 mg dbol per day for about 4 weeks before the strongman training got serious.

I continued that for maybe 3 weeks into the strongman training, before I decided the tren and dbol had to go. The last 5 weeks was just 750-850mgs of test cyp, leading right into the competition.

No extras day of comp. Didn't have access to anything I thought would help, and have no experience with any of those , so wouldn't have felt comfortable adding in the extra variable.
 
Backtracking somewhat... EQ tends to increase red blood cells and hence oxygen transport capabilities... So it could be a good one for long term strongman training.

Sounds good. Yeah, dbol and strongman would be no good... Way too lower back intense to jive with those back pumps.

Cocaine is not a pre workout, it's a recreational drug that destroys lives. You ever hear of a pwo destroying lives? No, you haven't.

I also don't take heroin for aches, pains or as a sleep aid. All the above are called justifications, they're used by addicts to substantiate their actions.
