this may sound like excuses, but there is no sight like marunde-muscle for the UK and Iv looked on websites before that show all the strongman gyms in the UK and there are none that are in my area. I dont really have space to train for strongman if I were to get some basic stuff like a tractor tire and kegs which are cheap and I live on a busy road so I cant do it in the road like Iv seen some people on youtube doing. But I would love to give strongman a try

You're country has one of the best mass transit systems in the world. Find a gym you can get to and see if they will let you train with them on the weekends. I have to drive 30min to get to the place where I do my event training. My other option is to drive an hour to my parents place where I keep the limited amount of equipment I currently own. Where there's a will there's a way little brother.

My reason for doing strongman is not for competition purposes, but for getting retarded stupid power and strength....

And that you will my friend. I have known some of the best powerlifters there are, and you get them in a strongman gym and they can't do anything. The difference is unbelievable.

Take for example Atlas Stones. In a way picking one starts like a really low deadlift, then you need to get it in your lap. After that, its a regrip, and an explosive stand up from basically an ass to grass squat, all the time having the weight out in front of you. Now you get to keep that momentum going and get that stone up to as much as 72".

Tell me what muscle in your body is not being used in just that one movement.

And when we train them, you have to deload it yourself too without dropping it. Do a set of 5 like that and you are completely gassed.

I know you can squat big, so imagine standing up 700-900 lbs. Now run with it 80 feet. Sometimes you can go 40 feet have to drop it spin around, repick and go back.

Don't even get me started on the grip events, or things like a truck pull.

So, ya, you'll get to be a freak.

My first contest I got my ass handed to me by a 240lb stone. I had never touched any of the implements before and realized my folly in trying to compete without experience.

Do they have weight classes for scrawny little 190 pound guys like me? Don't know that I'll ever attempt strongman, but it does look damn sick... Are there any lean and tall guys doing it?
