What’s the most fun way to exercise?
I have been a gym rat since birth! I love lifting weights in general, but as a kid i watched jeff capes win the world strongest man and i was hooked!
I have my own strongman gym set up in my back yard even as i push into my 50’s. Why press a little dumbell if you can press a great big thick axle with some van wheels on it eh!! I love it.
I have a 60kg sandbag for pickups, an axle (thick bar), great big wooden farmers walk, thick curl bar and a steel log currently. In the past i have had a super yoke, a frame, car deadlift and atlas stones.
The strongman community is a grest place too. There is always someone who wants to come lift or have a bit of banter etc, unlike your little gym boys n girls who just want to look at themselves. We strongmen don’t celebrate the six pack quite as much as a broken bar or a new PR.
Its my love of the sport that made me include it in my novels. My Dookie and a few of his pals are strongmen. Dookie even has his own strength emporium!
Viva la underdogs!!!
