What's more impressive is Strongmen don't traditionally train bench as it's not much use for the sport!

It's started becoming popular, a lot want to go over to power lifting after or whilst doing strongman.
Incline has a good carry over to OH press though which is why it's done by a lot.
I think eddie did 220 for a few reps incline recently.
He can also do a 206kg strict log press very easily!

I've just spotted the link on your profile and liked your Facebook page. Do you have a PH discount scheme running? whistle

Very subtle in my profile biggrin
As I cannot currently do discounts on my website due to the program? that I did it on, the prices are post discount until I can afford to pay a person to design it all properly smile
How much cheaper do you want it? biggrintongue out

Love how the bar lifts off his hands at the apex.

Laurence Shalalei has just posted a vid on his feed of him benching, 5 sets of 2 reps, at 170, 175 and 180.

100kg for reps....I'm gonna try this at the weekend. biggrin

Just watched PT Welsh do his grip test.
Holding onto a massive weight for time. Is that what you do for your grip?

Yes, either knurled axle/bar or smooth axle.
290kg for around 5+ secs is my best on a knurled axle.

farmers are also very handy for grip work. As are any assistance work such as rows where grip is being used smile

And also do full reps, those were only have reps ... so only 26 really silly

One of my mates here at the office gym was doing some weights at lunch, joined him for a few sets. We got chatting and he mentioned about having met Eddie Hall a few times, and asked him advice. He's apparently a damn good, approachable, friendly fella.

I like to think this is the case, yet every time I watch him compete he comes across as a bit of a tt ( In my opinion ). Saying that I've played sport with some great fellas over the years who are nutters as soon as the whistle blows. Who knows what liftings cars, throwing kegs and other feats of mong strength does to your personality!!!

I thought he came across as a tt on tv too.
Met him at Yorkshire's strongest man and it's true, he is really nice.
I think he plays along for tv smile

This was today's session, I think 25+ reps is doable with a fresh chest/arms

About the size of a can of coke or scaffold bar depending on which one I use smile
