Man Dood you have no clue. first day I train with a tire I was beat then with farmers I was fryed all lower body and heart
Dude calm down. If you realise I said MAX lowerbody strength. Of course tons of events you need a strong lowerbody for but you don't need the strongest one. Unless the yoke is really heavy(which it barely ever is) then the guy with the strongest legs won't win for sure. The guy with the most indurance and speed has a better chance. Max squat is good but they don't have it often. Leg press is great for testing lowerbody strength but they barely ever have it anymore. Powerstairs is more back. Think about it. 56 is more technique and explosiveness.b fold the truth said:
dood.......... you didnt answer the question........ have you ever done strongman events before??
yes........... or .......... no???
and by the way at the Bluegrass strongman comp.. the 1st event was the viking press........ legs are just as important as triceps on this one if you have the right technique.
then conans wheel......... my legs always hurt so bad from doing this. sure its for distance but let me tell you something, all the endurance in the world will not help you out if you dont have the strength to hold the thing up.
im not going to describe but 1 more............ the yoke.......... if it was all about endurance the weights would be lighter......... and you said that the weights are hardley heavy anymore..... well what do you call 550lbs on my back???? a stroll in the park.. heavy's had to do 650lbs........... and at nashville, heavies had to do 700lbs.......... and these are just regional contest not even nationals........ and amature at that.
dood.......... get a clue.

Yeah...I have a pretty good idea who you are now
Like I have said before...if you want to test non-moving leg strength...go to powerlifting.

X you right on about this one.
Almost all the event are based on max lower body drive and explosive power.
The vikings, that is why I got my ass handed to me, no leg drive
Conan's wheel: Dood can you front squat 400lbs and walk with it
I won't even touch the medley' arggg duck walk
Dood your concept of max strength is just gym lifts, you need to remember we are not in a gym buddy.
but I wold like to know if you have ever competed in Strongman or if you are just an idiot
