    Strongman look like a cross between the guy who wrestles bears in the mountains and the blue collar laborer/farmboy who's been working and moving heavy shit since he was 5. So many people are obsessed with the bodybuilder magazine look. I'm all about that big strong dude with just immense physical presence. I gotta start eating more!

    • @gregvaldez1269
      @gregvaldez1269 10 місяців тому +5

      Strongmen look strong ASF but yeah I see what you mean when I was a kid I was a huge DBZ fan and looking at how jacked and shredded some characters were , I grew up ( until my 20s) thinking damn I need to eat a lot and Il look like that lol 🤣🤣😆 and be strong as fuck .Which is usually far from the truth, yes there are the Ronnie colemans,Arnold shwarznegger,stan efferdings etc that can lift crazy heavy but we all know being below 15 % bodyfat will most likely hurt you in the strength and even maybe muscle size category .

    • @gregvaldez1269
      @gregvaldez1269 10 місяців тому +3

      Edit:To clarify and conclude what I said , Yes eating more will get you jacked but at a certain point you can only eat so much till you start adding more and more fat looking fat and massive .

    I'm a college student and I take the bus for ~1 hour from one campus to another and I've been listening to your videos through the entire ride. I have learned so much and became interested in strongman because of you. It is very hard to find a well organized program, and doing one of your own requires extensive research about training. This is what I've been looking for. Thank you Bromley, you are really the best

  • @freakied0550
    @freakied0550 Рік тому +34

    Gotta say, I spent about a decade extremely focused on powerlifting. This year I "retired" and started branching out my training. My gym has pretty much all of the strongman implements, and I've certainly not used contest weights, but used them as a tool to help with conditioning. Lifting objects I've never lifted, setting up medleys, etc. 7 months into the training change up and my body (even after losing over 60lbs bw) has never felt more resilient as a lifter. Hindsight being 20/20 I definitely would've incorporated more of this in prior offseasons doing it over.

    I'm actually growing significantly in my obliques, hips, traps, and forearms from single arm dumbbell carries. I wanna row those 130s for reps, and I feel like getting to the point where I can carry them for 3 laps is gonna help me get there sooner by tempering me to the load. I'm gonna touch that weight in carries long before I touch it rowing.

Im overweight you could say but I’m pretty athletic, I play sports, jog frequently.

    Do you have any videos/programs that you would recommend?
