Do you think it made you stronger?


Yeh 100%

I'm undefeated at front / side holds. I put that down to scaffolding. I spend literally, 6 hours a day, with my arms at face height holding scaffolding. Last time I did a front hold for time, I beat all the open weights, and the time before that I won the event with doubled the time of 2nd place Wink

Nice one, odd strength or farmboy strength is the best kind.

Now i think deadlift, squat, pressing records and strength is far higher than it was 100yrs ago. But do think guys doing hard manual labouring before machinery had better odd strength.

Like i think Louis Cyr would beat the current strongman crop in forward hold. I also think there would be loads with freak tier grip as well.

Bicep curls are the new deadlift.

I don't think I've ever known you to perform curls. Your bicep development is pretty decent. Better than mine.

Sam, are you any good at grippers? I'm wondering if scaffolding strength carries over to that.

as a teenager preacher curls with the ez bar was a staple but you could probably count the number of times I have done curls in the past 20 years on one hand.

I have always done a lot of chins and pull ups though.
