Strongman

This is where I became familiar with you.

So you're a strong man.

And I want to learn about strong man so that I don't sound like a moron next year if I'm back at Rogue.

It's weird.

Like, it is a weird...

Um, I wish I knew the reason why.

Um, so when you, when you said that you went to Pure Gym, at what point were you like, So people, other people are saying you're pretty strong, but like there's pretty strong.

And then there is rogue invitational and strong man and all that

But as soon as he doesn't look too good, then everybody has to run in and try to help him to preserve his image.

His image as a Mr. USA, as a Mr. Strongman, the man that can bench press 500 pounds, as an undefeated wrestler, as a man who is the number one contender for the world's heavyweight title.

Well, I told Tony Atlas and I told everybody else within hearing... that there's no way that Tony Atlas is ever going to get the World Championship belt.

And if I can think about it, he's not even going to get a chance at the World Champion again.

It was really fun to have our spot on the table, you know, as masters, sometimes we get pushed aside a little bit.

But it was really nice that Strongman Corps started doing that.

And there was like 12 competitors.

It was a really hard first year.

Although I don't do strong men, I do powerlifting, but it's nice seeing more and more women especially coming into these sports.

So I definitely want to get into a little bit of that and that whole issue of how masters get sidelined.

I think that's starting to change a little bit because I think the awareness is getting raised about the importance of strength training for older people and how much of an influence we can have on that, right? You're going to be competing in the official Strongman Games.

OSG is next month.

And you have about this idea of how it's going to be.

The Strongmen engineered their own version in the back in the warm-up area.

They had a matador dip bar that they welded and brought.

They carried it with them.

I mean, you get like the log and these awkward movements and stuff.

And for one, one of the things I wanted to talk about was the Strongman event you guys got to do.

I was so jealous about that.

I mean, it's not like I'm going out there and winning that event by any means, but that just looked awesome.

you know, something will be going on.

If it's not the Lift Hard, Live Easy, Power Living, and Strongman show, at least hopefully crew fall.

I like to think that even if one of the, one of the, even if the Power Living meet goes away for some reason, because it's too much of an undertaking for him, that We still get like crew falls and the Arnold or something like that.

And home gym con, like there should, I feel like we're too big of a nation now.

So that was July.

Yeah, that was July.

And then in August, I did a Strongman competition.

Busy guy, busy guy.

I'm like, am I incorrect here of the way I view the overhead press umbrella? I guess if you've never participated

in Strongman,

maybe...

Like if you're only experiencing,

Yeah, like in a competition, it doesn't matter if they do it strict or push-press.

Yeah, and I don't

think that that's specific just to Strongman, but, like, you know, it's the idea of, like, move this object overhead.

People into Strongman get that rule.

The Instagram account is Fast and Furious here.

Strongman went last, so they're monopolizing the most recent posts.

The comment section in this one is wild.

Have you perused through there? Do you want to read the comment section in this one, Taylor? Sure.

Those are our peers.

Those are our CrossFitting peers.

When you look out at the crowd, are more people there? What's the mix of people who are there to watch Strongman relative to CrossFit? I mean, obviously, they're enjoying both, I'm guessing.

If you come for Strongman, you're enjoying the CrossFit and vice versa.
