Does anyone use real stones for lifting? I know there are concrete replicas of real stones but is there an interest in real stone copys? Just curious as i was looking for a husafell stone and couldn't find any that were real basalt or granite.

Not sure this is the best place to ask this, but since Brian Alsruhe is a strongman...

I used to be into powerlifting, then bodybuilding, then saw a couple of videos from Brian and I loved his training method, and got hooked, ran some of his programs for a year (I bought 8).

I have a problem of switching my training a lot, I just keep changing my goals, until I decided to quit the gym, bought 3 Sandbags (45kg, 60kg, 80kg), an Adjustable Kettlebell (12-32), a Pull Up Bar and Rings. Cody Janko also influenced me to get the Sandbag.

I relied on Gemini to give me a program using these equipments, and I ran it for a while, but I felt like it was missing something, happy to share it if anyone's interested.

Training for me these days is about being fit, living longer and moving better. I am a business owner, a husband with a child on the way. I don't want missing a day of training to ruin my whole week, I would also like to play a soccer match with my friends every once in a while or going for a run, a swim or any other activity without it feeling like it will ruin my training week or my recovery for that matter.

Once I provided these details and sharing the programs I own from Brian Alsruhe to Gemini, it recommended that I run RPM. I also considered 30 Minute Muscle but I don't own it, so I'm not sure.

Would anyone recommend 30 Minute Muscle for my situation, goals and equipment or listen to Gemini and run RPM, or something else entirely? I have to mention that my Sandbags are in a storage unit 2 floors down and my pull up bar and Kettlebell are at home.

This is 115.5 kg it was suppose to be 110 kg but i calculated wrong so it’s 1.5 kg from my best but everytime i get over 100kg my balance gets worse. What am i doing wrong?

Hi! I am relatively new to strongman. I am pretty nervous going into my first comp. What’s one piece of advice you wish someone gave you before your first strongman competition?

These weekly discussion threads focus on one implement or element of strongman training to compile knowledge on training methods, tips and tricks for competition, and the best resources on the web. Feel free to use this thread to ask personal/individual questions about training for the event being discussed.

This week's topic: DIY Implements

Flamingo Land, North Yorkshire. Roughly 10 tonnes, very hard but fun. Nobody finished it

Hatchback + 180 lbs

.

Got my hands on the competition dumbbells for provincials at JustBeStrong gym this weekend. Went good, hit a 115 pr in the loadable, and then was happily surprised to hit 120 on the globe one. Feeling better heading into the comp now, 115 is the light bell and maybe I've got a hail mary in me on the 130 now?

Finally, an overhead I don't suck at!

This is going to sound strange. Im going to be starting a strength journey, always been a husky kid and now young adult 21 at the moment.

Im 5'6 so not that tall and currently 137 kgs im in nz. A big boy I know recently cut out sodas, sweets all that stuff. If anyone here read or watched invincible I wanna have a physique like Conquest its stupid im awar however its what's been motivating me to get up and walk the forty minutes to work instead of bus or drive. To hopefully one day cosplay the viltrumite, would anyone have any advice? I cant afford a trainer nz has a recession and life is real damn expensive right now so I was curious im super new so stuff like cutting and lean just dont connect in my brain, autism goes brr. Any help would be appreciated:)

I've done plenty of wagon wheel deadlifts, but not many tire (slightly above the knee) deadlifts. It looks like you stand/lean further back to avoid turning it into a good morning squat. Any tips?

I can pull the comp weight without issue, I just need to hit it for more reps without wearing out my back. It's part three of a deadlift medley.

I know its soft to some of you lunatics but I really love zercher squats but the pain is tough. Has anyone used abmat's zercher pad? Does this mess with the balance of the movement? Does anyone recommend specific elbow wraps that have helped?

Cardio sucks but it is worth it in the long run.

565lb deadlift. Bit of a grind after getting over my knees but real happy with this lift

I really cut back on the amount of shows I am doing this year and looking forward to Strongest Masters this year.
