Road to strongman competition

Re: Road to strongman competition

I need to find a way to test grip independent of each other. One of the events is farmer walks where you carry 250-300 lbs in each hand with a 2" grip. Yes I said each hand. We only have 140lb DB that I can practice with.

i would bend over with that 140 lber in my right hand and roll it up until fatigued then do the other hand.

Not that wearing a suit and squatting 800 isn't impressive but its not for me. Ronnie Coleman has a squat suit on when he hits the 800 for reps. Impressive nonetheless. When he goes to get out of it he basically is pried out of it.

Depends on the organization.
Raw to me means no lifting suits. Lifting without a belt is dumb at these weights. Wraps can be okay too. Some of the multi ply suits can add over 200lbs to a squat.

Okay, makes sense now. Yeah, none of them were wearing suits. Thanks bro!

Supr, what exactly does "raw" mean? I always thought it meant nothing at all, just raw strength. But I see videos of people using belts, is that acceptable?

Ahh stairs, those post w/o torturous bastards!

Solid work Brother. I too did BB Rows after Deads. First time I have done that, brutal.

Thanks a lot. I need to push myself harder I know I'm holding back on the end sets.

On a side note my legs are jelly. And who thought it would be a good idea to put stairs in the middle of my house.

No pain no gain. Training is more mental then people give it credit for.
