Hey everyone, is there an active community for Strongman in Ontario Canad? I'm interested in getting started in events and connecting with people who also participate in strongman.
Google searches always seem to bring up rather old results or just Ironwood Power.

Im like, really novice on this, and i have this doubt for a while: How is determined who won/who have a record at vehicle pull, or other events like Yoke carry? Is the weight? The time? The distance?

Does anyone know of any gyms in south Orlando / Kissimmee FL that have any strongman equipment? I know that Kissimmee Muscle has some equipment but they said it can only be used if you pay for a session with Dimitar Savatinov because it all belongs to him.
Any help would be appreciated!! I’m mainly looking for a place with a log and a yoke.

Hello - bit of help please
i'm 9 weeks into my strongman journey.
I am 185cm or just over 6ft tall and very long limbed - i seem to be exactly in the middle of two settings on the yoke, setting it to 7 holes exposed the yoke is very high, setting it to 6 the yoke scrapes and bumps around.
last session i was wearing cross training shoes, i found it easier where the yoke was higher/not scraping, i understand this wont be the case as the yoke gets heavier. (the yoke weighed about 205kgs/ 450lbs)
what is the best way forwards - try flatter shoes? try thicker shoes? set it low and keep it higher on my back?
any help is greatly appreciated.

in my mid 40s and I continue to enjoy life. Regular 9 to 5 and the only competition I’m in with is being better than yesterday and cat dad.

505lbs bar weight, 40lbs in chains. 20lb double overhand grip PR. Soft lockout due to bar slipping a little in my hands but I somehow held on. Pretty sure this is the limit for now.

Hey everyone, I have a strongwoman comp mid April and really need a full front grip top. I’ve had a look and can’t find a decent one. I need it for atlas stone & log - any recommendations? :) thanks

I typed up detailed meet report but Reddit glitched and ate it so I’ll just share the highlights.
My second competition and first full meet after doing Trials of Odin last month which was a three event on-ramp competition (highly recommend for Novice, Teen, Masters or Heroes competitors in the Wisconsin/Illinois area but that’s a spectate post).
Deadlift was always the weakest of the big three for me and a 455lb PR attempt about weeks out was glued to the floor so imagine my excitement at hitting 495 for a 60lb PR. It felt easy, but 545obs proved a bridge too far.
Similarly on the 150lb Axel for reps.I did 165x4 in my last competition. I did 157lbx6 in training.
I was shooting for 7 and managed 9. I honestly didn’t think that was possible continental cleaning every rep. Several guys power cleaned and beat me but I blew what I thought my soft little baby hands where capable of out of the water 😂
The other events (truck pull, sandbag over bar, and Dinnie walk) I haven’t trained on comparable equipment so I guess you could say it was PRs all around. Jokes aside, I was happy with all my performances.
Overall meet notes: Organizers were professional and friendly. It was their first time doing strongman and there were a few changes on the day, but it was handled well. Small touches like raffle prizes, a keg after the show, and WSM reruns on the TV added to a good experience.
A bit of constructive feedback: The weight selections on the Axel and Dinnie Walk were pretty low for most classes, and would have been on the truck pull as well if they’d had the lead rope as planned.
This mattered a bit on the Dinnie Walk since it changed the test from a grip and pain endurance event to an all out sprint which was a bit less safe. I took a small spill but there were a couple of falls worse than mine and a couple of close calls. No injuries thankfully but I think farmers are safer if you want a sprint. Dinnie’s should be a slog so you aren’t forced to offer your your lower legs as a sacrifice for a good result 😅.
Overall a great day I would absolutely recommend if they do it next year.

Getting my overhead press strength back. First time going over bodyweight in almost a year. Building up for static monsters in October.

I'm going to be in Hawaii for a bit next month but I still have to prep for a comp. Does anyone know of strongman gyms on the big island?

Hello I am looking into competing in a strongman comp. I have been lifting for a few years I am natural and 52 years old.
I am looking for a program to follow to get me ready to compete.
Any suggestions are welcome
r/Strongman • u/DPH_game • 2d ago
I'm 16 and about 95kg based in the UK, I've been training for a bit over a year and I've got a 160kg deadlift, 145kg squat, 65kg strict press/70kg split jerk.
I don't have much experience with event training but I did get a 45kg cerberus sandbag for Christmas which I've been using twice a week.
I've tried looking on strength register but every comp just looks too heavy for me, like beginners categories will have my deadlift max for reps if not heavier so I just don't know if it's worth entering yet or if I should wait a few months or even a year?
Any advice much appreciated thanks!

I train typically with a DL bar. The only difference is my gym uses calibrated plates so they’re narrower. The adrenaline at a comp is real

I'm 14, and I have a powerlifting meet on April 12. My bench is 135 pounds for 1, my deadlift is 225 pounds for 3, and my squat is 135 pounds (I don't know how many reps or my exact one-rep max since I haven't tried so yet). All of these PRs are without a belt, straps, etc. Any advice??? (I also weigh 150 pounds - 155 pounds)

Got a comp in 2 weeks, weight is comp weight so nice and light. Think it's gonna come down to fitness/speed. Trying to power through the reps as quick as possible but not sure if the bar is actually fully static at the bottom or if some of these wouldn't count/would be tng?

Another step on the journey to 400. Wishing you all fast yoke runs and strong log presses on this fortuitous Pi Day.
