I've been lifting with a powerlifting style for a while now, but I think that this summer I am going to make the switch to strongman competition (at least I am considering it). I've read up on how to train, but I am seeking some knowledge about where to sign up and how to get started in that realm. Also, I'd be glad to receive any advice from some veterans.

www.nastrongman.com will tell you all of the upcoming contests.
Just find a group of guys and start training. It's as simple as that.Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous. So are cowardice and intelligence.

If you are anywhere near Norfolk there is one of the best gyms in the country located there - they have just about every piece of strongman equipment that you can imagine and a few local competitors who train events on the weekends.Originally Posted by NobleOrder

Chris (mentioned above) is closer to Richmond I believe, and also a great resource for strongman training.Pro Strongman & Former National Champion

Currently I go to college near Richmond and my house is in Springfield. Used to live near Norfolk when I was growing up, but it would be minimum hour and a half to get there. But thanks for the info. It's good to know there's one so close
