Strong man to build muscles and strength what is strong man?
Strong man is a strength sport much like powerlifting and the weight lifting you see in the Olympics
People who get interested in weightlifting are usually trying to find the best way to gain muscle or lose fat
Often those people turn to CrossFit
bodybuilding or
Powerlifting largely because these are well-known
Strongmen however is different than all of those indefinitely worth trying
strongman consists of different events where you score points for
Example a bodybuilder is awarded points for how aesthetic he is
strong man, however
Gives points for events like lifting logs or trucks or even pulling planes
this is what makes the sport different than others lifting heavy odd objects anything from boulders to motorcycles and
everything in between
But don't be intimidated
Practically every strongman movement can be replicated in a commercial gym
So if you want to get in the best shape of your life through one of the most fun sports out there
Strongman is for you
Strongman for athletes if you're an athlete or just want to be more athletic
Strongman is perfect for you. Why?
Well, the movements are what we call functional movements
This means that instead of pulling a bar while you're in perfect position you perform movements that aren't as easy
What's easier picking a 200-pound bar up or a?
200 pound rock ask anyone who's done both and they'll tell you the bar is much easier
Why is this important?
Well, if you've played sports, you'll realize that you can't always set up for the perfect kick or the perfect shot
Sports are largely a game of improvisation and strong man trains you for that also
Strong men can help those who don't participate in sports or athletics at all
I've been to a gym where a sixty plus year old lady came in with back pain asking for help
They taught her to lift like a strongman and her back pain the best it had been in years
Strongman is the real deal
It will make you stronger physically and mentally and if done right it can get you absolutely shredded
five strongman movements one
Farmer's carries farmers carries can be done in just about any gym because they require only dumbbells
There is a special item used in the professional competitions, but you don't need those
All you need to do is grab a dumbbell in each hand and walk back and forth
Seriously, just relax your shoulders and let them sink down
this exercise will make for some massive shoulders and arms the
Lift the set up for a set of farmers carries is fairly simple pick the dumbbells up and squeeze them as hard as you can
This will make sure to activate your forearms as much as possible
When picking up the weights, make sure to keep your back as straight as possible
If you put a PVC pipe on your back
You should be able to feel it all the way up your back if you can your back is straight now
I'm not saying to go and get a PVC pipe, but that's the thing you're looking for when you try and keep your back straight
Once the weights are off the ground and you're holding them relax your traps
The traps are the muscles in the shoulders that connect to your neck and actually go down into the middle of your back
When your traps are relaxed start walking keep your core tight and just move your legs
You should remain straight up with your chest out the whole time
Walk as far as you can before dropping the weight you can add this movement to the end of a shoulder workout
Do three sets walking as far as you can for a great burn out effect to?
Deadlifts deadlifts might be considered cheating because they aren't a strongman exclusive movement
But they made the list simply because of how great they are
Deadlifts will make for a thick and strong back as well as building the glutes and hamstrings
To perform this movement like a true strongman
Try Deficit deadlifts by standing on something and and pulling the weight the lift in order to perform the lift you need to first
Understand that there are two different ways to deadlift
First is the conventional stance which involves your hands positioned outside your legs
The other option is a sumo deadlift which involves your hands positioned inside your legs with a much wider stance
for this article
We'll be focusing on a conventional stance a good starting point is to get your feet shoulder-width apart
And stick your chest out from this position
Squat down as far as you can before your back starts to round
Once you reach the point where your backgrounds start to hinge at your hips no longer bending your legs
But bringing your chest towards the ground go as low as you need to in order to grab the bar
Your hands should be just outside of your legs
remember to keep your chest up and
Try to push your feet through the ground and squeeze your gluts as you pick the weight up from the ground
Remember to always keep your spine in a neutral position
this means that your back should not be rounded or
Overextended you should finish the movement in a lockout position
This means that you're standing straight up with your glutes tight and chest up once at this point slowly
Let the weight down keeping your back straight and chest up
Three yoke walks eoq walks are a simple mass and strength builder and will build your whole back
Core and legs. All you need to do in order to perform
This movement is grab a barbell and put it on your back like a squat then walk
Load up the bar as heavy as you can while still being under control
Make sure to keep your back straight and your balance on point or else you could fall and hurt yourself or someone else
the lift to begin a yoke walk
You'll need to get underneath the barbell now
Barbell positioning varies from person to person but with a yoke walk you generally want the bar on the back of your delts
Delts just being the fancy term for shoulders. You should be able to put them on the meat of your shoulders
This position may be uncomfortable at first but not painful
if you experience pain
Then it's wise to ask a doctor about your shoulder health when you place the bar
You also want to grip it your hands should be wrapped around the bar with your palms forward
Once the bar is positioned properly lift the weight up when you lift the weight or have any load on your body always
Brace your core
I'll likely write an article on just bracing soon as it is extremely important
But for now, just make sure you keep your abs
Activated you should have a very slight lean in your torso
bending at the hips
This ensures the bar actually stays on your back
Once the weight is fully on your shoulders begin walking
Take it slow as it isn't a race and you don't want to get injured
Once you've completed the exercise
Bring the weight back to the rack and set it down carefully
Making sure to get the bar fully on the rack so it doesn't fall. It's not fun when it falls
This is the real equipment but just use a barbell if you don't have a yoke, this is the real equipment
But just use a barbell if you don't have a yoke for eggless stones, the stones are easily the most iconic
strongman event in the sports history seeing massive men lift boulders
However for the average gym goer it can be a great movement for a great back strong legs and huge arms
now obviously most gyms don't have boulders to lift but a
Sandbag or bumper plates could work if you talk to gym management and they have an old
Barbell ask if you can use it as a makeshift stone
All you need to do is unscrew the part you put the weight on and load it with bumper plates
To actually do the movement squat down pick it up and stand up with it if you can
Put it over a bar
The lift atlas stones can be a bit tricky
But assuming you don't have an actual Boulder to use it gets a bit simpler if you're using bumper plates
Then squat down with your legs why?
The makeshift stone should be in between your legs instead
Of wrapping your arms around the side like most would think you want to wrap your arms over the stone
With your palms facing back at you
This makes the act of loading putting it over a bar or on a platform much easier
Get your fingertips underneath it and begin to pull it towards your body while pulling it up
You should place it on your thighs to get a better grip and prepare to really drive it up
once in a squat with it placed firmly on your legs begin to drive your legs up and extend your back driving the
Configuration of plates up and over the thing you're loading it on
If you don't have something to load it on to just lighten the stone and bring it up onto your shoulder
Holding it there with one hand
Reminder your gym might not want you to do this. Make sure it's all right with management first
Also be courteous
Don't just drop the thing unless you have padding underneath it 5
Overhead, press the overhead press is great for athletes and anyone wanting to look better
It build your shoulders arms and core some of the most aesthetic muscles also
It's a killer exercise for strength what screams I'm powerful more than putting 300 pounds over your head
exactly
Start doing this exercise
The only reason this exercise isn't higher on the list is it can be a bit dangerous if done incorrectly
Make sure your back is straight and you keep your core stable and you'll be fine the lifts the overhead press
OHP can be performed in a number of ways but strongmen largely train the push press so we'll focus on that
what constitutes the push press is leg drive in order to bring a weight from your chest above your head to perform the
OHP set the bar up on a rack much like a squat or yoke walk
Bring the bar to rest as tight to your upper chest and neck as possible. It will be uncomfortable
But keep that there you want to make sure that your elbows are forward and a little bit out but not pointing down just yet
Now set your feet about shoulder-width apart and get ready to push to start the movement
Bend at your knees and drive your legs into the ground bringing momentum and power up your body
While you do this drive the bar straight up with your arms and leg power combined
When pressing with your arms, you can drop your elbows a bit. So you're comfortable, but not all the way down
Make sure you keep your spine neutral and straight. You should not lean backwards
This will put too much pressure on your back
The finish to the movement should be the elbows locked out and the bar above your head
Once done bring the weight slowly down to your starting position with elbows straight Andreea rack the weight
