Making Singapore Stronger!



Making Singapore Stronger!

That's our new tagline for the Strongman Spotlight!


Here at Team Iron Behemoths, people get stronger! How can they not? With our greatest asset being our collective training knowledge and experience of all the members! We are proud to have created a fitness community that sees people of all ages and backgrounds and from all around the world! From students to schoolteachers, from soldiers to sales assistants, from personal tariners to private bankers! Some come to learn, some come to share- all get to lift and are stronger for it!


We are proud to be Making Singapore Stronger!



This week in the Strongman Spotlight we are featuring Andrew,26.



Here is Andrew performing the Strongman Farmers' Walk on grass with 100kg-a-side.


He wrote in about his Session with us-

"Samuel,

Training in the park with you guys was a fantastic experience. I loved how the more experienced members were ready to share much-needed advice on form. I must say, though, Strongman is so much more than just being 'strong'; i quickly realised how critical technique is in performing the tyre flip and yoke walk.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me much needed advice on form for my deadlift, resulting in not one, but TWO Personal Bests at 190kg and 195kg from my previous best of 180kg! I can't wait to see how much more i can get out of my other lifts!
I'm proud to say that i have trained with Team Iron Behemoths, and will certainly be back for more punishment!




Truly, Andrew"




Thanks Andrew. Happy to have you with us! Make no mistake, you're a strong dude already coming in but I guess that's what you get from training with us - STRONGER!

We are proud to be in partnership with both the Youth and Senior Citizens Committee and and it is getting STRONGER by the day.

Just like our quads and calves! (Sorry we couldn't resist. In fact, we are pretty proud of that too!)

Structured Strongman Training Sessions Highlights - Strongman Log Press and Powerlifting Club Deadlifts

How does it feel to "Gorilla Press another member of the human race" over your head like we all remember the Ultimate Warrior doing to his opponents in the wrestling ring on our television screens back in the day?

Indeed many of us will never find out.

Manhandling someone overhead isn't the most viable of stress release channels in Singapore.

But the closest thing to it - would be to do that to our Log!

The only Strongman Log Press in Singapore, as we know it!

Here are the highlights of the week's session.


Mitch, a student, maybe thinking about his teacher.

Ryan, a teacher, probably thinking about his students.

Maybe his Head of Department too.


Kevin, an NSman, could be reacalling fond memories of his Sergeant.


Cyborg definitely thinking about Megatron!


What will you think of when you try your hand at Log Pressing?

Come on over and find out!




Powerlifting Club Deadlifts




We at Team Iron Behemoths are crazy for cookies!
Not the kind with sugar coated rainbow sprinkles though.

Our 100% pure sun baked metal cookies are coated with a thin layer of tasteless, inedible rubber and weigh 2okg a piece!

Still, we can't stop having more by the week at our Powerlifting Club!

The delectable term first came about in a Bench session between a former American UN Peacekeeper and The HULK back in the year 2000.
Oddly enough, the gunslinger was now a language lecturer and the HULK was still a student, still a Bruce Banner burying himself in books.
While piling on the plates for a final 160kg set, out of Stephen Ryan came the immortal words,
"Doesn't that 20kg plate look like a giant cookie to you?"
Samuel "The Student" Lim concured.
And the rest is local Powerlifting history!




Here are the proud inductees of the Cookie Club this week -








Strongman Spotlight

And a new member in the 4 Cookie Club?


Some coaching by the team for a strong and safe blastoff.
We build your PB over here.



Welcome to the party, Raphael!
A 180kg personal best sees you in the Spotlight this week!



This is what he jubilantly wrote in to say after -

"I do a lot of deadlifts over the year, but Team Iron Behemoths corrected me on my form as well as improve on my technique. I was steadily hitting 150kg to 160kg back in the past, but that was my plateau. Just recently, with the encouragement from everyone and the advice given to correct my form, I've successfully hit a deadlift PB of 180kg! I'm very satisfied with this result and I'm looking forward to hitting a 200kg in the future with the Behemoths! Thanks to everyone who was there to encourage! If you wanna get stronger the safe way, look no further, Team Iron Behemoths is always here! Cheers!" - Ralph, 17


We appreciate the pat on the back, Ralph. Keep it up!

We have a good feeling you'll be writing in about more Personal Bests to come, after all, you've only been here for less than a month!
Give yourself a shot at getting Stronger with us like Raphael!

Introducing our Behemoth Belles!

Calling all Ladies!
If what you're currently stuck with is getting stale and boring (not talking about your tiny, whiny boyfriends here), you're in luck!

We mean if whatever you're currently doing is getting montonous and old (your training routine!), Team Iron Behemoths is here to help!


Introducing our Behemoth Belles -The Ladies Fitness Division of Team Iron Behemoths.


We are here to bring the fun back into your training!
Using Strong(Wo)man implements and disciplines such as tyre flipping, sleds, logs and a whole bevy of other free weight equipment to give you a cardio, toning and strength workout like no other - You can expect to burn calories like you've never had before!
Especially in the greenery of an open park with fresh air and the sun on your skin.
Think jogging in the park but only burning more calories while toning up and strengthening the entire body. We make it safe with our experience in adjusting the weight to something you're comfortable with so that you're able to enjoy a custom workout whatever your strength level is -beginner, intermediate or She-Hulk!
We are also very proud to have 2009's National Bodyfitness Champion and 4th placer in the recent Asian Championships, Miss Angelina Tan among our ranks to help coach the Behemoth Belles.

Here's Angelina sharing how the Push Sled hits your ABTs (Abs, Buns and Thighs), not to mention toning your arms and giving one heck of a cardio workout at the same time!
No wonder it's a favourite of the Ladies!

Under Angelina's watchful eyes, Shi Qi, our very first female member, completes 20m on the Push Sled with poise!


Strong(Wo)men Spotlight



Newcomer Monica is one of the finest and fittest we've had over at our Behemoths lair. Seen here getting a workout with a 2 Cookie (40kg) Sled.


Working her core muscles and toning her legs, stride after graceful stride on our Strongman Yoke!

Tackling 250kg Tyre Flips.


Attempting the Log Press.

And achieving success!


Can you even count the number of calories she burnt doing that?

Mel , a regular, doesn't just sit there looking pretty.


She squats pretty as well.


First timer, April, attempts flipping our beginners tire with the help of the HULK.
Gutsy girl she is!
April, we mean, not the Hulk!

Sam just lending a hand for safety while April drives the tyre up with pure Girl Power!

Sweet Victory! Big smiles! Mega calories burnt!



The trick to Farmer's Walking is just imagining you're walking out of LV with two of their biggest bags in hand. Both utillises grip strength and tone the triceps but it wouldnt burn a hole in your trackpants over here.

Sam demonstrating the log press.


And April (Wo)manhandles on the first try!
Remember guys, you can't afford to upset a strong girl! Especially a Behemoth Belle!

Kettlebells are great for hip activation. Something Shakira showed the world in her music videos minus the bells.


Saturday in the park: Good ol' playground fun.

You can have a ball of a time when you bring your friend too.
Immelia gets in some action as well! Even in the lovely dress she's wearing.


Now can you even count the number of calories you've burnt just from watching our Belles do all that?
Chances are very high you'll burn more than you've ever had if you join us for a session like the lovely ladies above!

Speed up your progress by simply mailing us at teamironbehemoths@gmail.com or call/text 91011721 to book your FREE First Timer Trial Session now!
We train Saturdays 1030am at Hong Lim Park (Clarke Quay Mrt Exit A).
A new you awaits!

Structured Strongman Training Session Highlights: 29 Aug 2009 - Strongman Yoke and Powerlifting Club Squats

Strongman Spotlight


Now er'body knows what Sam The Hulk can do.
The 50 million cent question is how does he do it?


Why not let the man show you for himself over at our Behemoths Lair in Hong Lim Park!


The ever-loving Hulk shows the members how he got the fastest time for the HomeTeamNS Strongman Yoke Event this year. For his willingness in dispensing advice and friendliness shown towards all the members and for being the jolly green giant that he is - The Hulk has smashed his way into the Strongman Spotlight this week.



Ben seeing to it that the members keep their back straight and core tight before lift off.


Hitting the Strongman Yoke is a sure fire way to build size and strength.
But you gotta be prepared to sweat for it. Check out the drenched shirt!


With the Team behind you cheering you on, how can it not bring out the best in you?


Hey look it's Marius Pudzianowski!
Nah, false alert! Marius's much shorter.




Powerlifting Club - Squats

Tired of seeing 1/4 squats, pseudo parallel and basically just half-assed squats,
Sam shows it's time to get serious about Powerlifting legal Squats.



Depth before dishonour. Hip below crease of knee.

The following are from our 2pm session:





We hold multiple sessions on Saturdays and we welcome all!
