Member 2850, 34 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 260 590.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq	Just wondering if folk reckon its possible to train for both powerlifting and strongman at the same time? Seeing as the goals are pretty different. And what a regime would look like? Also on a side note, theres no dedicated strength gyms around me, all bodybuilding bedwetters, so what would be the best excersises for strongman with no specialist equipment? Cheers guys. Ewan.

Ewan. i think it is. you sqaut and deadlift for both sports the only differnce really is there is never really a bench event in strongman (although its not unheard of), and never a overhead press in powerlifting.... but most strongmen train there bench to improve there overhead and most powerlifters train there overhead to increase there bench. Im going to do a powerlifting comp early next year, but i will train strongman stylee for that...it all makes you strong anyway.
