Height: 5' 7" Weight: 166.5 Rep Power: 3294    | How to get started in strongman? Hi guys. I've had an interest in strongman since I first watched WSM on tv a few years back, but I never knew what to do in terms of lifting, equipment, etc. Right now, I've got a good amount of money I made over the summer, and I think I would like to start maybe getting some equipment to introduce myself to the sport. If any of you know of a good place to do so, or if any of you could give me some advice on what I should do in terms of lifting/conditioning just to get started in strongman, I would appreciate it. |

Untill then just work on more functional movements in the gym: Farmers walks Sled dragging Sandbag work (basically do regular movements with a sandbag). Kettlebells Work on fullbody strength with movements like: Squats Deadlifts Turkish Getups Overhead Squats Maybe some cleans if you know the correct form (dont do them unless you have been really coached on them). You'll need a really strong grip aswell.
