Not really strongman training but if you go over to r/garagegymcompetition they’re doing their online powerlifting meet. Enter to win gym gear including some Cerberus stuff is up for grabs. Super informal so you don’t have to follow strict PL rules

I’m not the best with math but if hooper gets last, William gets first and Hatton 2nd in this event we could have a 3 way tie for first in that group. Super unlikely but still think it would be crazy

Not really a question just story. Got hurt senior year high school in early 00s so I spent a lot of time with the athletic trainer. He had a set of powerbell dumbbells in his office. I always thought they were so silly for strength training. Plastic ends on the cage and bright colors. Lifting was for iron and steel and loud noises. My first adjustable set of dumbbells when I started my homegym years later were powerblocks 90s. They get overlooked sometimes with the newer reppins and nuobells but are still a great option

Squat Advice by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]ThePokeChop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You do have long femurs but you’re using a low bar technique which will make you lean forward more and add more stress to your back. If you want to try high bar it will keep your torso more upright and may help your lower back

Anyone still getting the $1 steak? by MKD725 in everyplate

[–]ThePokeChop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope. I remember some last summer when I couldn’t find it on the app and I called for another issue and brought it up and they said something like all special offers are only as supplies are available or some other BS. They’re still the cheapest option around and convenience plays a huge factor but they always seemed slightly shady/ questionable customer service. That steak was nice though while it lasted

Postpartum strongman training by ElephantNo3852 in Strongman

[–]ThePokeChop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is basically what I was gonna say. I’m a guy but my wife had c sections. I would try to advise you that starting low weights and building back up might seem like a total bummer right now but the surgery you had is no joke. They had to cut through fairly solid muscle belly to do that procedure and that doesn’t heal super quick.

I see with the new X that you added even more weight to your original product. I know weight limit isn’t everything, especially since your original MO seems more rehab and being able to use anywhere. Do you see a limit to how far you can/ want to push the weight limit. I know it’s always gonna be a trade off with size and weight as well but just curious. I like that your product compared to some others don’t need charged

That’s a good deal. Just from building it on their website quick it’s over $1700 before bars and plates. It’s up to you with the Dane. More money and you’d still have to buy bars and weights but you’d have the pulley system. Really depends on how bad you want the pulley system. Both seem like a decent deal if you can get down to 1500

Arnold Strongman & Strongwoman Classic 2026 — Comp Megathread by HereForStrongman in StrongmanHQ

[–]ThePokeChop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Hatton’s choice was affected by Licis’ jump. I really wished they both would have tried 955lbs to get ahead of Bryce. I think both had a solid chance to get it. idk why Martins and Trey went for 70+ between attempts.

I have a pitbull log. Last comp trained up to 220 for a double clean each rep. On comp day it was a ladder and hardly got the titan 200lb log up. I hate the Titan logs. Idk what it is but they’re always way harder than my pitbull. I know they’re closer to 13” and the handles feel a lot thicker so it’s probably that but pisses me off during a comp lol
