does anyone know anywhere i can purchase strongman equipment in hong kong or nearby? as far as i know there are no strongman facilities over here. i was going to order various items off elite fts but the shipping cost makes it too expensive.
thanks
You can get a large tractor tyre for a start-inexpensive and a staple of strongman.
You can also find a welder to put stuff together for you like what I did?
Here is my training crew’s blog
Where are you training now? I’m at Pure Fitness in IFC for the holidays. It’s comedy gold. Plus, they must have some sort of application process because the ladies are smoking hot.

hey, i was training at the pure on hollywood road over the summer. cant say i really liked it…the gyms here are all too commercial and resemble health clubs more than anything else. i recently signed up to the scaa down in cwb near the stadium. its not bad and seems to have almost everything you would need.
I have a lifetime membership to the SCAA. They lack one essential component: weights! 30KG dumbbells, a few 20KG plates, etc. If there’s more than one person lifting, there’s not enough plates. Strange, considering they have 3 benches, a squat rack, and a deadlift platform.
I’m getting spoiled on these health clubs. Lifting apparel is provided, frozen towels, clean bathrooms, shower essentials, frosted glass stalls, kettlebells, matching weights, unlimited towels, free internet, etc. Why not accept life’s little luxuries?

yeah…ive only been once so far and i did notice they were short on weights, but i didnt have a problem because there were not many people there at the time. main reason i go is because its much better value for money considering i only go to train.

You’d be surprised. They do hire some trainers that look like they lift. One of the trainers is a competitive bodybuilder in the 100kg class. Says he squats 5 plates. I believe him.
Well, actually, he’s the only big guy there. Most trainers are teaching one-legged-hyper-deadlift-cable-crossover-dumbbell-curl-
super-functional-core-crushing-stabilizer-side-bend. I wish I had a video. Today someone was learning the exaggerated high pull while standing on the half ball. Another gentleman was doing one arm cable rows one footed on the half ball. The entertainment value alone is worth the US$150/month.
