Yea, im really entering this contest to kind of get my feet wet in a way. I know im not going to do good. I been training with a local Pro strongman for about 2 months or so and he said the best thing is to hop right in to see what its like and to learn from mistakes and such. so we'll see what...

Its going to be my first show ever, haha. Not completely sure what to expect. I've gone to a few others to watch and hangout, but never to compete. I'm kind of nervous, yet extremely excited :D

Anyone here going into the North Brunswick show next month? The date is sept. 27th.

Derek Poundstone with the 555lbs. Stone. Thats a true beast right there. thats truley amazing. especially from recovering from a serious back injury years ago, he was told he might never be able to lift again, and years later hes deadlifting 800+ and doing stones that weight as much as ATV's...

I went to this, it was great. Kevin nee didnt do too well, but Mark Felix and Derek Poundstone did great. Travis did well also. It was a great time in the end.

So i see everyones been posting questions on a few different threads about the 'best' atlas stone exercise, because like me, not everyone has 3-5 smooth balls of rock sitting in their garage (then again, some do). So i'm sure most of you know about this now, but theres a stone trainer called...

haha definitely sounds like a good workout, and a good way to test skill/strength as a strongman event, as far as grip, legs, back and a little bit of cardio thrown into the mix.

Same here, met him for the first time at Madison Square Garden last night, didnt seem to give 2 shits for any of his fans last night.

Kevin Nee Hes going to win in a few years. I think this year (2008) Derek Poundstone is going to win.

I dont have a sled, i have a 500 lbs. utility quad, a harness, and a couple friends that each weight 156, 260, and 350. So depending on the day, i get a different friend to sit on the quad and just steer, as i pull. haha

how much that go for?

My friend got this one: http://www.atomicathletic.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=HGD453 Its $90 and comes with everything.

Just a little tip: they say running after strength training reduced the soreness the next day. It has something to do with lactic acids, it pushes them around in other needed spots, rather then when you stretch after a workout (which your supposed to) it brings all the lactic acids to your...

I just recently got an old Good Year tire, its about 5', its kind of bald but it weights a little more than 400 pounds. I got it from a little mechanic garage, they have all crap parts in the back and i passed one day and saw this. They were more than happy to give it up, it was going to cost...

Believe it or not, my friend got one donated to him by a "giant tire service" company. He went in and told them he did all pro-strongman comps all in the tri-state area, he showed them his awards and all that and long story short, they sponsor him now. They gave him 2 tires, a 500-600lbs. one...
