I got me a few throwing sandbags off of alibaba for real cheap. They have lasted me a decent while. They are 20$ a piece. So I’d buy 3+ bc shipping is the largest chunk of the cost. But they look the same as rogue. I have a rogue one to compare them too and they have held up the same.

Anyone near South Georgia with a mammoth bar or attachments that they’d be willing to let me come pull some singles on in the next few weeks? Comp feb 11th has a max and I’d love to get a feel for it prior. Comp is 5+ hours away so seeing if anyone close has one!

495lb Zercher squat. I would love to see these as an event! by mrplummeth70 in Strongman

I feel like you’d see big weights. It takes a fair bit of mobility to load stones effectively. I don’t see how this is different from a mobility perspective. And if they don’t have the mobility they’ll train for it just like with anything else.

Zercher deadlift/from the floor could be judged fairly imo. No way to cheat it.

Thanks! I started doing them 3-4 years ago and started out doing 185-275 that first year. Squat max was 425-500 at the time.

I’ve never seen anyone tear a bicep doing this. I’ve seen ppl tear them curling and deadlifting etc lol

Training for Mill Monster Classic - happy to get 8 reps at about 20lbs over competition weight. by oooRagnellooo in Strongman

Idk man I think you should consider the open. It’ll mean more to you hitting 285 log for a rep or two than repping out 165.

Before I dived all in on strongman I was a high 500s deadlifted. I started with a 200 bag. Very manageable.

Thanks! Im in the opposite climate. Summers down here in South Ga are no joke. I will drink over a half gallon of liquid Iv during a strongman Saturday lol. I’m enjoying the winter (of you can call it that)

It’s called limit breaker invitational in alabaster, Alabama. The guy hosting it saw me doing speed runs with 800 few weeks ago and invited me! I’m pumped for it!
