So You Want To Compete In STRONGMAN | Joey Szatmary

[@boom-bm1kl]

Hardest part is figuring out how to program training through the gym and event days. Never competed but enjoy doing strongman stuff and still don't have an idea. Will go to the gym 5 days then come home and do some farmers on Monday, stone carry, sandbag carry, or tire flip on Tuesday, log or axle Wednesday, nothing Thursday, Friday atlas stone lifting. I'm noticing though I'm not getting ample recovery time though.

Recently did my first strongman comp as a novice at 40 years old. Took 2nd in my weight class, and had an absolute blast. Other guys there were awesome, now I can't wait to do another one.

[@nathanchiaro5399]

Someone did a video on here saying there are no weight classes as a novice.

[@nathanchiaro5399]

A guy in this video said the difference between novice and nationals is nationals has weight classes.

This was beautiful. I come from a martial arts background and have dealt with plenty of people that if you're the outsider they match you up against their boy that has 20lbs on you. They've got someone your size but he's fighting an out of towner that is 20lbs lighter. They've got an out of towner as big as my opponent whose 20lbs larger but he's matched up against a guy 40lbs heavier than you. Even in powerlifting out of towners gotta hold the bar on their chest or locked out 5 plus seconds when the people at that gym are getting press and rack commands before they touch their chest or lockout. I was jaded but after 7 or 8 strongman events where i am always the out of towner recording every athlete absolutely no one has given me a reason to question the outcome.

Strongman is my favorite spectator sport for lifting imo. So many cool activities and people get so hyped for it too. Maybe I'll pick it up someday.

The reality is all roads to be a big boy run through Strongman Corp. SC comps are known for being significantly heavier/more challenging and the big amateur comps that have paths to big time shows are all run through SC.

Depends on your weight. You can get on Iron Podium and look at weights and look up shows and weights.
