The Giant of the Winter Giants Member 155, 132 posts	TRaining day's are something we have been working on, a lot of training camps are out door's, cant rely on the weather etc.... Definately on the list.

Member 926, 100 posts	training day idea would be cool but it would have to be with two pros that are very knowledgeable.

There just arent enough diehard fans to sustain those prices imo. Also, the training days sounds like a great idea, but theres more chance of me out deadlifting Andy Bolton than paying £120-150 on a training day. Thats crazy money.

Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25566 posts Administrator	yea, mabie if it had a 'coaching' slant as lots of guys on here could/can hook up with some of the top names for a session 20 quid for a bonanza - mabie a couple of comps on the same day .... novices and u105's competing on the same 'playing field' as the open guys would garner massive interest , tony alone would attract an army of 50+ paying fans

The Giant of the Winter Giants Member 155, 132 posts	Could really do with your input here guy's, there are a number of opoortunities next year off the back of winter giant's, this is your chance to give you oppinion, and have your say. We will have a questionaire at winter giants also to get some feedback, but i need stats...

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335 850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Re the coaching days; only novice strongman and the hero worship brigade would pay for these IMO decent level u90/u105 and open strongman would not pay much at all to be coached by a top level athlete. 5-15 notes maybe, not any more I know Ronnie Coleman used to do a 4 day experience with him for approx £500 if I remember correctly. But for that you had dinner/lunch with him evey day, trated you like one of his 'yeah buddies' etc

no longer sugdens strongest man Member 455, 1336 posts	what needs to happen is strongman needs to come under 1 umbrella it would make it so much easeir if every one head of uk amd elite strongmsn and others put there heads togetehr and made one big corporation. people like uk strongman north have got it right. they dont do it for money they do ti for love of the sport and charity, if people put ther own egos aide and put there thinking caps on and got together instead of thinkin of the ££££££ this country could be like america in the strongman sense, to be honest i refuse to pay and watch strongman. firstly im a tight arse with my money and secondly this sport cost a lot to do anyway personally.

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	if some international guy would come to a comp i think it would be worth it to organise some kind of training seminar for extra income. if the price was 15-20 quid a head and held at some friendly supportive gym i bet it would be easy to get 20+ people attending.

I agree with that mate, but thats different to a coaching day IMO I would like to see Matt Griff v Hollands in a cage match up Would pay £100+

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220 510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	It shouldn't matter if the Strongman is internationally famous or not. It's more about what you can learn and how you can be inspired than who you can get a photo with.
