Why Strongman Training?
Why should you train with Strongman movements?
- Life isn’t perfectly balanced (Barbell, DB, KB, medball…)
- Become comfortable moving large loads, long distance, quickly
- It’s “Functional”

- Improves regular lifts, WOD’s, Performance…
- Builds mental toughness.
- Builds camaraderie and teamwork.
- Builds resilience to injury (joints, bones, ligaments).
- A great foundation of strength for the novice athlete/lifter.
- Movements can be applied to real world right now!!!
- No more, “What muscle does this work”? It works all of them!!!
- Lifting heavy things makes you strong if you’re weak, good looking if you’re ugly, smart if you’re dumb, cool if you’re a nerd, but if you’re an ass; sorry can’t help with that.
Look at Sam walking with 525lbs; He is Strong, Smart and Good looking.
- Lifting heavy things is tough and builds character and work ethic, both lacking today.
- Lifting heavy things doesn’t just make you “look good” It makes you look good and become useful.
- Lifting heavy things is what this country was built upon. Don’t be a PUSS and contribute.
- You’ll have coolest story to talk about at the water cooler tomorrow and you’ll be the most “JACKED”.
- When you walk into a room there will be a greater chance of you being physically the most powerful, strongest, smartest and best looking person. People respect strength and unfortunately good looks too. (I’ve meet plenty of good looking people whom were WEAK, DUMB and USELESS.)
Matt knows all the above is true for him because he can walk with 600lbs in his hands.
- How many people do you know that can lift their own body weight over head? How many people do you know that can type their age in words per minute? 50yrs ago things were different. People were stronger healthier, thinner and had fewer diseases. Type fast, but please be STRONG and HEALTHY, don’t pass on weak genes into the pool.
- Lifting heavy objects will fight osteoporosis. (Sunshine, milk, calcium and vitamin D will help as well.)
- Stuck at a weight for Clean and Jerk, Press, Bench Press or Deadlift. Lift Stones in the same movement pattern and blast through your plateaus.
- “Strong people are hard to kill”.
- Did I say It’s just COOL.
Come and join us Friday’s at 530pm for Strongman Training.
