Boston 2004 Events... Planning now...

[t3c]

theres a difference between a "strong man" and a "strongman"

a "strong man" is someone who is exactly that...a man who is strong

a "strongman" is an ATHLETE, a combination of speed, strength, and endurance. The best strongmen are the ones who have all of those.

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.

do you happen to know anything about the boston contest? everything there is really heavy. its not a contest for speed. its known for bein one of the heaviest contests. 56# is alot of weight to toss in the air. if it was all technique dont you think they would throw it higher than 18ft. anyways, i'm not an expert at this but i think you should be in powerlifting if your not already.
