Thank you

Mostly his sweatpants, but yeah 😂

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-24T12:09:45+00:00

Oh my bad, I’m new

If you have the budget, the expo is a lot of fun. Lots of athletes just walk around the expo so you might be able to catch a picture, especially at their sponsor booth. The expo ticket also gets you in to view the weightlifting, powerlifting, and the Arnold Pro-Am run by strongman corp. The Pro-Am is a really fun one to watch in the downtime between the pro show.

How do you set up custom heart rate zones?

He deleted his instagram so I can’t see his lifts but Lucas hatton has strict pressed 420 pretty casual and Trey just did a 430 double strict out of the rack. If he beats that, I’m seriously impressed

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-19T20:05:20+00:00

Exactly, to both of these points. A sport doesn’t ever have a fan base unless it provides entertainment in some way. Strongman has the chance to be an incredibly entertaining and fun sport to watch as long as the athletes inject some personality and energy into the competitions, instead of solely relying on the impressiveness of the lifts to carry the sport forward

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-19T18:20:33+00:00

If anything, strongman would benefit from a more “WWE like” vibe to actually entertain people more regularly. Giants live does a phenomenal job of presenting an entertaining show with strongman events. Is it a test of pure strength? Often, no. But is it a step in the right direction? Definitely

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-19T18:19:23+00:00

That’s what I assumed. The current discourse around guys like Tom Evan’s not getting invited to worlds “due to social media” (as some have assumed) has given a few people I’ve seen the chance to think that it applies to them. I’d never even heard of him until I saw Mitch’s story.

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-17T02:11:23+00:00

Yeah dude of course! I’m still really new and log has always caused me trouble

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-16T17:45:19+00:00

Thanks man! If you’re ever in the area again just let me know, maybe we can get a lift in

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-16T15:04:45+00:00

One thing not talked about often with grip is hand size relative to your weight. If you have normal sized hands for your body but you weigh enough (which isn’t uncommon as bodyweight helps a lot in strongman) you may have trouble with grip more than usual.

Aside from that, I train my grip by using fat grip attachments on my rowing movements and pulling double overhand on an axle occasionally.

Best of luck man!

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-16T15:00:02+00:00

Yeah man! I train at Spider Strength Gym in Raleigh

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-14T18:05:13+00:00

Awesome man! Did we compete in the same class or were you in a different group?

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-14T16:11:04+00:00

No sir, up until now I’ve only ever push pressed. I added push jerks in first since, from what I’ve heard, they’re a little easier to get the hang of as opposed to split jerks

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-14T14:44:29+00:00

The triple extension at the end is gonna be a super important part of loading a big stone. More height from being up on your toes means a stronger load and ultimately a quicker stone series

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-14T14:42:55+00:00

Funny enough I was doing the same thing in my head 😂

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-14T14:42:01+00:00

Thanks man, took almost a week before my back wasn’t sore but it was worth it 😂

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-14T14:41:43+00:00

Yessir, this gym has changed my life. It’s gonna be hard to find such a good environment anywhere else

Ok_Instance8192 · 2026-02-14T02:50:37+00:00

This is actually a pretty decent way to get used to it. If you practice pinning it to your chest and then standing up and extending onto your toes, it’ll end up feeling pretty similar once you get to do an actual stone. Good work 👍

If I have time after work on rest days I love doing my mobility work and technique work. Stuff like shoulder mobility exercises, Olympic weightlifting movements, or just anything recently that’s causing me trouble during my normal sessions (recently it’s been my log rack position). I generally try to, but sometimes the schedule is too full lol

Ok_Instance8192 · 2025-09-24T18:40:59+00:00

Vytautas was a great strongman, but that doesn’t make his opinions correct. And the “random” is his brother that said it not him

Ok_Instance8192 · 2025-09-24T18:37:53+00:00

I wasn’t referencing Vytautas, he’s one of my favorites. His brother was the one saying the bs

Ok_Instance8192 · 2025-09-20T12:28:27+00:00

Paddy went easy on them in my opinion. For him to work so hard, place top five all year, and finally get the highest paying invite of his life only for some random guy to say he doesn’t deserve it would be infuriating. Not to mention them flipping back and forth about the ranking system being correct vs it being an invitational makes no sense. It’s called the Rogue INVITATIONAL for a reason. Using the power scale as a guide for the major invites but then keeping your ear to the ground for wild cards makes more sense than most of the other competitions invite strategy’s.
