im 21 years old

asian

uni student

not too rich

1 year of training at UOA gym

max lifts:

best squat was 180 -> got injured -> now at 140

deadlift is in the ~180

benchpress is at 90? havent done it in a while due to shoulder injury

overheadpress is at 65-70ish. pushpress is at 75-80.

weight 80kg

height 5 9" - 178

ive been watching ESPN's WSM from 1999 to 2012 the whole day yesterday and its got my intense curiosity and interest. strongman is something i really want to do now but with my lightweight lifts and shitty stats can i actually train? i imagine training would be non functional if i cant even pick up the implements.

if miraculously i can train, then are there any strongman training places that i can go to? can anyone point me in the right direction?

Miada Gym in Avondale.

Or Matt Rossiter runs sessions on Saturday mornings running up to comps (he's on the powerhouse gym forum if you want to contact him).

Next comp is at the fitness expo in July.

@mbag012, Same boat as you :nod:

I just recently got really interested in strongman and signed up to the event in July. I'm going to try attend all the saturday sessions leading up to it so i can learn techniques.
