Welcome to CAP's SHS Strongman Training

If you want to come down and flip tires with the "old man"... do so at your own risk, I am not your mommies (even if I am prettier than some of them). If I tell you to scram--do so. We all help each other and WE ALL CLEAN UP. Bring water and an indomitable will. Check the blog 1 hour before you come down if there is foul weather or just in case--stuff happens. Subscribe by email or blog-reader to get updates (so I don't get 50 texts everyday). And, P.S. Meditate...It is the true Strongman Training.

Fabian & Ben First Tries at the 270 Stone on my Birthday

Fabian and Ben came down to celebrate my Birthday this Sunday. Their present to me was trying the 270 lb. Atlas Stone. For those of you who don't know what this is... it is a 270 pound round ball of rebar and cement. A big stone ball... You need to put "Tacky" on your hands just to pick up the perfectly smooth big stone ball. The tacky is like maple syurup from the tree mixed with glue and pine-tar. It tears your skin and takes like a 1/2 hour to get off. So this exersise is basically....THE BEST THING EVER! Anyway... Fabian got the stone up and joined the only like 9 guys ever at SHS to do so in 4 years. And Ben who only weighs 145 got it into his lap...but will be the lightest guy to lift this big stone ball. Wrestlers have big stone... that's why they are so good at this lift. Thanks for the present fellas.
