Strongman/powerlifting and strength training.
Discussion
Does anyone here train for strongman or power lifting based events? It's something I've been getting into recently so'd be interested in variations on training etc (I know there are a few powerful folk on here!)
I'm currently doing Wendler's 5/3/1 at the moment to overcome a few plateaus I met recently, seems to be working too. Also doing a lot of grip work (pinching/grippers etc) and steel bending (6" nails and so on) On a few training sites but pistonheads always throws up new things!
Been doing it for a while but it seems to be my thing at the moment. Any comments welcome.
Cheers

, yeah...cheers 
I used to train for strongman events and powerlifting, wasn't very good at the latter, but it was soooo long ago
We used a modified 5x5 from time to time, then sometimes we would mix it up with a custom routine written by ourselves and inspected by our gym guru which worked well, but a hell of a lot of workload would end up with me injured again.
