Taping the Forearms for Stone Lifting

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Thanks for coming to the Diesel site today. I hope you had an extraordinary weekend!

This past weekend, I watched my first strongman contest in about a year and a half and it was a great time. Man I miss competing!

I didn’t get to see the whole thing, but I did catch the dumbbell press for reps and then the stone event.

I noticed some things I want to talk about so maybe I can help some dudes out…

The Biggest Travesty in the Strength World

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Watch as Eli works on the mighty Diesel sand keg.

Weighing a mighty 230 pounds plus, and filled with sand, dirt, tools, nails and other refuse, it has never been pressed overhead.

Also watch as Eli takes a staggered grip on the keg and locks it out for multiple reps, and claiming them as legitimate, then talking smack about it.

A true travesty of justice in the world of strength…

Strongman Training Workout – Guest Blog Post – Joe Hashey

Loading Phase - Stone

Joe Hashey – Synergy Athletics Workout

Here in New York, the weather just hit 80 degrees (after it snowed 3 days ago)! That only means one thing – time to get the strongman equipment out and head outdoors.

At Synergy Athletics, I work with athletes that play a variety of sports – soccer, football, lacrosse, baseball, field hockey, basketball, and hockey. Many of the athletes here play at least two of these sports.

No matter the sport, nearly every athlete needs to be explosive. Try this full body workout to get explosive strength while increasing your general physical preparedness.

I also designed this workout for people on a budget. You could get EVERYTHING needed for this workout for under $10. You don’t need a fancy commercial gym to get in an incredible workout.

Old School One Arm Lifting

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Real world strength development.  No messing around, no BS commercial gym rules.  One barbell or on dumbbell and kick ass intensity.  That is all you need.  Don’t forget about the basics.
