Member 3836, 4233 posts SQ 225, BP 200, DL 300725.0 kgs @ 119kgs UnEq | Iv recently started training for strongman (3-4 Weeks) i train roughly about 6 days a week with one of them days an events session, it hasnt been a smooth start to my attempt at strongman due to a few unforseen cicumstances but im almost a 100% so im getting back on track now. Basically i would like to know any advice on cardio for strongman, what sort do people do, how long for, how many sessions per week etc i try to aim for roughly 3 - 4 sessions a week for 20 - 30 minutes each half on a cross trainer and the other half on the stepper, i suffer from asthma so im trying to improve my lung strength also so i dont enter a comp then after my first event im sucking on a inhaler. Any advice would be very much appreciated. | ||

I would keep it as sport specific as possible. | ||
