Aw hell, my post got edited for linking to a forbidden site. I had posted the actual phillippi article.
Here is a copy and paste of the article on a non-competitive site:
I read that article a WHILE back (when I had no idea about training). Some of that stuff is ok, but a snatch for the keg toss? I don’t know what they think a snatch is, but it’s a VERY different move.[/quote]
a muscle snatch? Seems like the best gym lift to use to me…[/quote]
A keg toss is in an arc, while a snatch is vertical.

A muscle snatch would require a backwards lean to get the bar overhead otherwise you’ll knock yourself out. The same muscles are used in a similar manner.

Hey my fellow barrel chested, car flipping, rock eating badasses, I have a question:
My gym only has up to 215lb/97.5kg stones. What could I use to help train for heavier stones, as in NAS, I need to load up to a 360lb onto a 50 inch platform.
I was thinking, beside lifting the 215 to a higher platform, but what about the lower platform?
I was thinking Zerchers, lifting the stones without lapping, and casting heavier stone; sadly, the 3rd option costs money.

There is a gym in Herdon, VA called “The Edge” and they have a great collection of strongman equipment.
Thanks for the shout OUT Shakes…we’ve got some great things happening at the Edge this month: We have our members training to participate in the HAMPTON VA SPORTS EXPO Strongman Contest, and we are hosting the 1st “World’s Strongest Man Trainer Certification” Program. Our fellow Strongman and WSM 2011 Competitor Nick Best is teaching! Be sure to check it out !!

Any events planned for this summer? I checked your site and haven’t seen anything listed for the rest of 2012. I go back to school next week on the same day as the certification program.

No problem Barry - this is Tom Mutaffis.
Will try to make it up that way for at least one Virginia/Maryland contest later this year.

GMs, Zerchers, SLDL, and these!..
(first lift in the video) it helps if you have a collar to put the plates on, I did not.

See my issue is, I don’t have flat plates like that, mine have dips in them, so they slide right off. The best I could do is stack 5 bumpers, which is only 175#, which I have heavier stones then that.
I actually got hit by a car yesterday, so maybe I’ll be able to sue for enough money to train at Global Strongman.
