    So I love these little people tips.

    @Thefunwayhome 6 лет назад +15

    What to do if you're short. Step 1. Cry a little. Step 2. Ignore the tall people(we're not laughing, we're jealous we have to deadlift so much farther off the floor) step 3. Apply effort. Step 4. Repeat.

  • @UnarmoredForce
    @UnarmoredForce 6 лет назад +3

    This was great! As being on the shorter side in my weight class when watching videos and tutorials by 6'2''+ people you tend to get into the bad habit of training and competition preping like a tall person. When my first competition came up I learned my lesson.

      @joshjohnston7388 6 лет назад +2

      killxswitch my lady has gone as far as dumbells. She still eyes the bar with suspicion, despite the fact that she can squat and bench it just fine. Oh well. She's doing her thing. I do believe that all fitness goals are valid.

    • @killxswitch
      @killxswitch 6 лет назад +2

      My wife has enjoyed going to the gym when she's done it, but it's just not something she values the way I do.

    Recently joined a new gym with strong man implements. Been avoiding the atlas stone for a couple weeks, decided to try it out tonight. Nothing crazy, 90Lbs stone, 4 set of 5 to shoulder. Got half way through my second set of just man handling that stone before I was like "fuck, this is hard, what was that shit Alena said about using your hips?" So I took a breather, re-watched the vid and was able to complete using a better technique. Thanks for all the tips!

    At around 1:25 you say skinny people are good at strongman, why’s that? As a 6’3 165lbs guy that would be great news, but what’s the reason behind that?

    • @apo75018
      @apo75018 6 лет назад +1

      If you're tall and skinny you generally have some great leverages for the deadlift (long arms, long legs, short torso), which is one of the most important lift in strongman.

  • @jonngarr
    @jonngarr 6 лет назад +1

    I switched over to a gym with many strongman implements(stones, farmer handles, yoke, etc.) but have primarily trained for PL, how do I start with the strongman movements?

    • @timbotemon
      @timbotemon 6 лет назад +1

      Hopefully you figured it out by now but I'd pair an implement with your lift day. Farmers and deadlifts, squats and stones, ohp and circus dumbell. That kind of thing. Start with a load you can handle and progressively overload

  • @Drummerbrah16

Also if you could comment on the 17" & 20" Stone of Steel (new product from Elite FTS - $790.00 on sale at $711.00 - seems a little on high side) .
