[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Awesome. I am seriously thinking of switching my routine around to include a lot of this stuff.

bfold, the only thing that could possibly be funnier than the little tire picture would be a video of you struggling to get a hold of a glued down quarter.

that softball farmer walk thingee sounds neat. have you thought about using a solid metal ball? drill a hole straight through, use a thick bolt if you could counter sink it, or even just use those real flat topped ones (should only protrude a little bit. i think the softball would crumble too easy, but a solid metal ball the size of a softball would be good, if you can drill through it and hack out a small divot in the top to sink the bolt, you'd be in business.

little bit of chalk and alot of lactic acid and you've got yourself a hell of a forearm workout.

I really do love strongman training for several reasons...but number one is the fact that it is fun. It is resistance training but in a different way. Every event is a full body movement, either for maximum weight or maximum reps...distance...etc...

I suggest anyone and everyone to try it...and always have fun when you do.

I may try the quarter sometime...lol

I have seen the softball farmers before and they are hard as heck. People even do a one arm deadlift with them too..talk about fingertip and grip strength!!!

I like the steel ball idea too...just not sure exactly how I would do it.

B Fold- you ever try doing one arm deads with just a regular bar? I tried them the other day and they are damn hard!!

I can't imagine trying them with a thickr grip, especially with my midget hands.

Haven't done a 1 arm deadlift yet...I may try it soon. I hear that they are really hard on your grip, balance, and trunk region.

Did you like them?

Yea. I tried them yesterday after reverse band deads and zerchers. My erectors are more sore than they usually are after that stuff. If I make a fist, my forearms are sore so it nailed my grip too.


The highest I went up to was 185. It was so hard to grip I actually had to try the hook grip for the first time. I was able to get it with both my left and right hands. I tried 225, but no go. Felt like my thumb was gonna rip off.

I'd like to get crazy stong on these one day, like 3 plates, and just walk into a gym during rush hour and freak everyone out with them. hehe

In Boston...the farmers were 305lbs each. When my grip finally let go...I could barely move my hands...I had to pry them open. I made it 135 feet though...and boy did it hurt.
