Iron Revolution had reps at this year’s Arnold’s amatuer strongman. They also make frequent(ish) appearances on startingstrongman.
Some good lifters coming out of there - I’d be signing up on the spot.
Seems their powerlifters are making appearances at GPC - perhaps @MarkKO has more info but appearances by multiple lifters at the national level is a pretty good tick.
I wouldn’t be too worried about getting distracted - they’ll probably recommend you use strongman implements for assistance work in the off season. It will be a good change of pace.

I’ve definitely heard the the gym, can’t bring to mind individual lifters though. But yeah, multiple at GPC nats means something. Not disrespecting CAPO but to get to GPC nats you actually have to be in the top 10 to 15 in your weight class before invites go out.
Im of the same mindset, but actually the day I hit my Deadlift PR i actually did all my warm-ups as deficit pulls. Food for thought.
I still warm up like you though. Maybe I should actually learn my own lesson.

Yeah I think the strongman workouts go down Saturday so today there wasn’t much strongmanning going on
Was kidding about the distracted by strongman thing. Am 99 % focused on Powerlifting (1% bodybuilder) but have a lot of respect for all kinds of lifters. Respect between lifters builds that great atmosphere that I got a taste of.
Dunno if I’ll sign up just yet tho. Only casuals visits when the opportunity arises for now.

That’s probably the best approach to get a feel for the place. Have a talk to the other lifters, see how good the team spirit is.
Usually gyms like this have group sessions. Sit in on one of those as well. It really is a great way to train.
The only downside is casual visits are usually more expensive. And you’ll eventually come over to the dark side because it is the best haha

The only reason I’m not doing strongman is that the only strongman gyms in Canberra seem to have odd hours that don’t suit me (and I’m particular like that) otherwise, hell, why wouldn’t I? A strength sport revolving around picking things off the ground, carrying stuff and pressing overhead is pretty much made for me.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy PL, but I’m not exactly gifted at it.
Doooooo it… You know you want to

Last time I went to Dohertys, had a great time getting distracted by the strong man equipment
Which one was that? I’ve been to the city one and Bendigo and all I’ve seen between the two is a dissembled yoke and farmers walk things in the corner.
