Who Is A Powerlifter or Strongman?

**Peaked_18** · 10-18-2005, 01:13 AM

Well I am a little interested on what all the people here are doing as far as training. Whether your a bodybuilder, powerbuilder, etc. just post what your doing.

I know a few guys here do strongman and powerlifting, anyone else coming out of the shell?

I do a powerlifting routine based on Westside. I would love to incorporate strongman exercises, but I don't know of any strongman gyms in my neck of the woods. Always willing to discuss routines though

Great!

Me and you can discuss a lot then. DW if he shows up is a active strongman and he would also be good to talk to. I love the guy for what he does.

I'm an novice strongman
i go to a buddys farm where hes got events set up
theres

atlas stones
kegs
log press
sled
lots of tires
farmer walks
rope/harness pulls
fingal fingers(though they are currently in a diff town)
viking press
conan wheel
wheelbarrow
yoke

we usually just do lots of log and stones primarily
depending on what people want to do that day
we can pick events if their available and the weathers permitting
sometimes we hold medleys and little tourneys on weekends

That sounds like fun!

I'm a retired PLer. I used to compete and PL because it was fun. I didn't care what my physique looked like. I just had fun doing it, thats all.

I admit, sometimes my ego will get the better of me

Of course, then I wake up this morning like I did after doing box squats and my hips, lower back, and glutes hurt like an 80 year old.

That looks like a lot of fun. Lot of equipment handy.
