Structured Strongman Training Session Highlights: 25 April 2009 - Strongman Sled Drags and Powerlifting Club Squats

You want Bigger, Better, Stronger, Legs?




Then you've gotta eat this!



Strongman Sled Drag was the main course for the day (with another delectable side dish).


With temperatures soaring to almost 32 degrees, the afternoon heat was sweltering and enervating today. Given a choice, the average person would rather spend his time training in an air conditioned gym or even chill out in shopping malls…But we Behemoths are not your average, run of the mill weight trainees… Despite the sweltering afternoon heat, our members never let their energy waver. Indeed, they managed to put in a fabulous session with their sense of togetherness and enthusiasm.




In the Strong(wo)man Spotlight today, our newest female member, AJ.










AJ is not your stereotypical local female who hates the sunlight and would rather be in a nail spa on a hot Saturday afternoon. She is indeed made of sterner stuff and this was manifested in her sled pull performance. It must be noted that this was her first time training with the sled. Nevertheless, she marked her debut strongman training session with some impressive numbers. She currently holds the female record for the heaviest load ever pulled -160kg…and with a very impressive timing as well- sub 17 seconds.

Welcome to the family, AJ!

Today's Powerlifting Club was conducted by Van-who has been tutored at the revered Dr Ken's Strength Training facility in the U.S. of A.

Van shared with the rest his vast knowledge about the squat. He was on hand to provide valuable tips with regards to the execution of the lift.

Keeping the back tight (and we mean really squeezing it!) allows the bar to be place in a more powerful position.

Making sure the knees go where the toes are pointing.

With every minor detailed covered - including feet stance, correct grip and optimum placement of the bar to indroducing new terms such as a 'Butt Wink' and ' Exploding out of the Hole", every member can say that they left the session today with many important takeaways to lift safer and Stronger!

Structured Strongman Training Session Highlights: 4 April 2009 - Strongman Tyre Flips and Powerlifting Club Bench Press

After two weekends of medley training, it was back to the basics for last Saturday’s session. And it was none other than the meat and potatoes of strongman training-the tyre flip. Due to the popularity of the event, the training was competitive and yet fun at the same time.



Today's Strongman Spotlight is stolen by Zhan Wei.

Our youngest member and one of the newest, has completed 10 tyre flips, unassisted, in less than a month he's been a Behemoth. And he's not even 17 years old yet!

Nicely done, Bro!

Makes you wanna come down and give the tyre a go, eh?

With the proper expertise and instruction( That's what we are here for!) and the crowd to get you going, we are confident you'll find out that you can do better than you think you can!

Take action!

Next we have our Powerlifting Club - The Lift of The Day was the Bench Press.

Honourable mention has to be made of one of our lighter members, Wei Liang. He managed to get a personal best of 80kg. The way he grinded the bar in the midpoint attests to his intestinal fortitude. Again the usual suspects Bryan and Yoshida went head to head again in a race to hit 3 plates. Attempts were made with loads of 135kg and 140kg. Even though they could not get clean reps, we are sure that in time to come, these two Behemoths get there. Watch for it!

Today as per member request, we did an extra supplementary event. The Shot Put.






See you next week!

Structured Strongman Training Session Highlights: 4 April 2009 - Strongman Event Medleys and Powerlifting Club Deadlifts

Medley training was introduced today’s session. Medleys usually involve two or three moving events performed back to back with no rest in between. This involves a great deal of not just maximal strength, but also conditioning and mental resilience. With the whole array of Strongman implements we have, the permutations for medleys at our facility are well varied-hence this form of training would never be a monotonous affair.

Our members dipped their toes into the water with a watered down medley in today’s session. The components of the medley are as follows: 1) 200kg tire-five flips 2) 250kg tire-three flips 3) farmer’s walks-60kg over 10m with turn at the halfway mark. Members went through two rounds of this circuit and all of them managed to complete it. After the circuits, all of them expressed words of satisfaction in between grasps of breaths. This clearly manifested the tough conditioning aspect of the medley.

In the Strongman Spotlight today is Spencer.

Despite his relatively low training age, he managed to complete two circuits. Insofar as he had to pause on a few occasions, that he managed to negotiate the medleys attested to the indomitable spirit we inculcate in all our members. Maybe it was the fact that everyone completed it too that spurred him to get the best out of himself.

Spencer has made improvements in leaps and bounds in his progress ever since he joined us. Spencer, a big thumbs up for you!

Next we have our weekly, Powerlifting Club. The Lift of The Day was the Deadlift.

Bryan and Yoshida went head to head in the race to who see who prevailed this time round. Even though they were already exhausted from medley training previously, they still kept to the spirit of competing by giving what was left in their tanks. The upshot was that Bryan and Yoshida were both tied at 180kg. Draw!

Itching to compete or just wanting to make yourself better?
