I've spent most of the year getting some weight off (down 30+ lbs), but strength is coming back. This matches a rep PR from early this year. Coming up on 42 years old and continually inspired by what everyone else is accomplishing in here.

Only took around 4 years of consistent lifting and some (read: a lot of) hitching to get it there.

This is what 545 looked like in April which is inspiring

Tightened the suit down a bit more and sat further back into it. Getting back in the groove here ahead of South Africa

I have a stone over bar for reps event coming up and I want to know how if these are going to help me or just be a waste of time. And what other accessories could I do to be prepared on the day

Want to order some strongman equipment from him but his website is down plus he's not answering any of his social media. Other people seem to have had similiar accounts last couple months. Anyone able to get ahold of him?

I have been struggling with finding the right shoes for heavy sled pushes. I tried indoor soccer shoes today and were much better than all of my other shoes and work boots but once I hit 250kg my feet just slide constantly on the astroturf. Any recommendations?

I haven't posted here in a while so I wanted to check back in with my progress on push press. Wishing abundant gains and flavorful protein to you all.

Wanted a triple with this but called it at a double

100 kg. 95 cm platform. No tacky. Just me, a slippery concrete ball and some questionable life choices. 🗿💀

Tackyless Atlas Stone lift to a 95 cm platform. Getting one step closer to making heavy rocks look slightly less ridiculous. The transition is work in progress - kinda slippery. I guess I have to work on that transition.

Question to the community: is a 110kg / 242lbs tackyless Atlas Stone Lift a good benchmark. Weighting around 78-80kg.

Around 110kg body weight

I’ve never competed in any strength sport, but am planning to compete in three months. Here I practiced sandbag loading and the log press. Any tips?
