Member 194, 3976 posts | Post Edited: 18.08.2009 @ 18:52 PM by MattGriff How relevant is strongman equipment in the early stages? Would people be better served building up their strength before worrying about the technique of strongman kit? (Genuine question) | ||

I'm not strong so before I go off and buy any equipment or go to a gym with it, I need to get stronger! | ||

enjoys the odd fag Member 563, 1029 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 230565.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | I feel that the extra variety of equipment has helped with my strength gains alongside gym work, even though I have only used strongman equipment a few times, I have gained more strength than I do when just gym training. | ||
