Krav Maga, start tomorrow.

Get a job working on a farm.

What Beam and Tide say. Not sure how old you are, or what your situation is.

I was born into an ag. family. My dad is almost 72. He’s finally starting to look like an old man- but he can still throw a 50 lb. sack of feed on his shoulder and do whatever with it.

Go make square hay with someone- at 17, me and a few friends would help a guy make 1600 bales in Carencro. Pick it up, put on the trailer, take off the trailer, throw them above a stall, stack them above the stall. You get the point.

My family owns a feed store. For the better part of my life, we didn’t own a forklift. Or a pallet jack. Truck would come in with 2000 little 33lb blocks. 2000 of them. My dad would have me and a couple guys pick them up out of the trailer, stack them on a dolly (about 12 on the dolly)- so now you’re pushing a 400lb cart and then restack them across an old warehouse that was about 100ft long.

The warehouse had a ramp (it was truck height) so you even sometimes had a 30’ long or so incline to tangle with while rolling 10 50lb bags of feed down to the other building. With no brakes.

Try all that for a few summers in the Louisiana heat.

There was an old guy that worked there- he had been doing it since he was 17. I don’t know that there are Crossfit guys that are in shape like this guy was.

So- what is a “farm strength” workout?

Hundreds or even thousands of reps outside with moderate weight and the occasional outburst of having to pick up a 200lb. calf and throw it in the back of the truck.

You have to do stuff with hay.

Circuits that include odd objects

Hammering a tire
Ropes climbs all that shit

That gets you into fighting shape

Do you have a truck? Fireplace? Hell if no fire place i bet you have a neighbor that does. Go get a permit from dept forestry go cut firewood load fire wood split fire wood stack fire wood. Find a farm that square bales hay tell them you want to help put it up. Dig post holes with post hole diggers

thanks for all the replys. im weak and fat. and short but i will keep at it

Strongman can’t train how they do all day otherwise they’d get all sorts of injuries. It’s too hard on the body. And remember, some of the guys, especially at the highest level, are freaks. So they very much value recovery and so on.

And yes priorities do make them different. But strongman are usually extremely strong all around. Lifting atlas stones (that have weighed in excess of 500; the world record is 675), pressing 300-500 pound logs over head, deadlifting, tossing 20-65 pound kegs, pulling planes, farmers carry, etc. Not to mention most of the guys have a powerlifting background (there are some exceptions). Sorry for rambling on.
