Strongman Total Thread

[Unit1994]

Really tempted to do a 400kg yoke and 170 farmers at the weekend lol

Edit: just realised my total is old, Ive done a 758 yoke and a 352 stone.

[Trah275]

Correct. Sumo is for pl ****s.

(suits/hitching/straps are all good though lawl)

Also what aboot 18" deadlift...are there even pulls from the floor in strongman...

Yes, and more than most think.

Every comp I have done has been a standard deadlift. Never done an 18" deadlift in comp.

As the out of towners have said, it is very common to see deads from the floor in international contests. Actually, I have one coming up in may that has a pull from the floor, ASM had pulls from the floor....just never see it for a max.

Luke and I tossed around the idea of putting in a 18" deadlift into the equation, but that really represents differently across the board and a standard deadlift is, well, more standard.

Good to know thanks guys...

I've seen both partial and dl from the floor in contests over the years. I've also seen them be for max (either last man standing or rising bar) or for reps. It all depends on the mood or wishes of the promoter.

There are also axle deadlifts which can be standard height with bumpers (actually a little lower due to the thickness of the axle) or in the 16-18" depending on the height of the tires.

I have had a few promoters tell me that the PL style max with three attempts is not used much because the crowd of lay people don't really understand what is going on. Much easier to understand a last man standing or max reps in time setup.

Yeah, I've only been in one or two contests that have the PL format. It's usually a rising bar style where they put X on the bar and everyone who wants to take a pull can step up. Then the weight is raised and the whole process is repeated. You can take an attempt at as many weights as you'd like, but fail once and you're out.

We have a rising bar log and a last man standing axle deadlift at my next contest in a few weeks along with a yoke/drag medley, husafell (yuck), and stones over bar for reps.

I saw. Was considering driving up there, but in the middle of moving right now....so that isn't good for contest prep.

[CROMAGS1985]

Not sure how I missed this thread for so long. Probably couldn't hit these numbers now but these are my best:

Gym total = Max Front Squat, Max Clean and Press(oly bar, axle, log, whatever), Max Deadlift

FS: 420
C&P: Axle 260
DL: 610

Event Total = Best Farmers Walk, Best Yoke Walk, Best Atlas Stone Load

Farmers: 300 per hand
Yoke: never unfortunately
Stone: 365 X 1 or 300 X 5 in 60 sec

No video, these were done before everyone on earth recorded their every move. The good old days...

[LessThanLuke]

I did a 286 log today. Will edit totals later

[lhprop1]

Yeah, it's Amy's contest. I'll be the guy with the shoes and the shirt and the shorts. I'll see you there.

I just got into strongman about 8 weeks ago so my "Strongman Total" is crap compared to my powerlifting total. These also aren't my all time maxes, just what I've done in the past 8 weeks since I started training for a strongman comp.

Gym Total:
Front Squat: 315x5 (Est 1rm: 367)
Axle Clean and Press: 225x5 (Est 1rm: 262)
Axle Deadlift: 545x5 (Est 1rm: 635)
Est Total: 1,264

I need to get stronger

One word of advice: No matter what, force yourself to go to the bathroom before you put on your tacky. Trust me on this.

Hahaha. Did someone have an accident?

[lhprop1]

Hahaha. Did someone have an accident?

Not me, but there've been times when I got all tacky'd up and really had to whiz so I had to hold it. I can only imagine how comical it would be trying to manipulate certain body parts when you're full of tacky.

Using toilet paper would be an entirely different problem.

[zmcdole]

I did this tonight. I've got a 455 front squat, but I haven't pulled a legit 1rm conventional dead in a while so I might do that soon. Since my training isn't super serious I can have some fun for a while.
