Goodluck just wandering into Westside Barbell. Strongman training is so varied that there aren't many places that offer that type of equipment. What are you wanting to do?

They do all kinds of training at that place based on what you want to get out of it.

 

 

 

I'm getting back into power lifting myself here in the near future. Just want to make sure my body can handle it first due to some medical issues. Doing toughman style workouts will be on the agenda.

i will get you in touch with someone, give me a day or two.

 

Typically most gyms dont carry this style equipment as the liability is way to high. Powerlifting gyms do not have this style of equipment either, they may have some things for fuctional training but they are not going to have everything.

 

Most of the time its garage gyms that people have put together.

If you're getting into powerlifting, don't do much strongman style training. You'll waste a lot of training time working out with exercises that won't really be beneficial to the three lifts in powerlifting.

If you can't find anyone, I'll check with Bob tonight. He's not training right now but I'm sure he knows a lot of the strongman training stuff around here.

I have a friend who competes, he is a busy dude. So sometimes it takes a few days to get ahold of him.

 

How is bob, still doing 70 sets in a workout? :lolguy:

Yeah, he does 70 sets of picking his daughter up and putting her back down. I don't think he's touched a weight in a couple years.
