Powerlifting or Strongman?

[stronglikewood]

I train for strength and one day would like to do stongman. There's way more powerlifters on this board than strongman and I want to know why you decided powerlifting over strongman?

[fletch]

its difficult to train for strong man because dont have the facilities, i don;t know of any strongmen, i don;t think il be very good at it because im quite short and it just looks soo sooo just TOO easy to injure yourself in it.

yeah i wouldnt even know where to start with strongman.. not like your average Fitness First has the gear you need.

I would I train strongman style when cutting as the energy requirements is alot higher then other training methods.

As everyone else has said, I dont know of many gyms that have strongman training facilities.

hate u guys

[stronglikewood]

so it's because of lack of facillites? Would you still powerlift if you had the option to do strongman instead?
