Structured Strongman Training Session Highlights: 2 May 2009 - Strongman Farmer's Walk and Powerlifting Club Deadlifts



We had another mainstay for Today's session -The Farmer’s Walk

Many people have a bitter-sweet relationship with this lift.

One might find it the most grueling of all events but yet it is also the most satisfying when one manages to hit personal bests with it…

And if you manage that feat, then you've earned a spot in our -

Strongman Spotlight




Kevin nailing a never before 90kg-a-side.

Bettering his lifts with us by the session, we know Kevin is capable of much more.



Indeed, two of our members, Kevin and Lee rose to the occasion and hit all time bests this week. Kevin completed 90kg in each hand rather effortlessly.

In the same vein, Lee nailed 80kg for three crisp sets as well.


Their outstanding performances affirmed the truism of strongman training: “Practice makes better.”


As a matter of fact, both Behemoths were struggling with such loads only a while ago. Kevin and Lee, you have certainly come a long way since...therefore you two deserve to be in the Strongman Spotlight for this week!

Lee getting a pesonal best of 80kg-a-side for 20m.



And to show it was no fluke, he repeated the feat twice! Well done, Sir!



Next we have our Powerlifting Club,

The Lift of The Day was the Deadlift and despite being zapped by the farmer’s walks earlier, our members still put in a great showing.

Kevin is a bonafide member of the 3 Cookie-a-side Club. A Cookie here weighs 20kg by the way.




And Lee is getting closer to it by the week. The improvement is remarkable!


Before the actual lifting, Samuel "The Hulk" Lim recapped the fundamentals with regards to technique once again. The Behemoths lapped up the information as they were very interested to learn.

Perhaps it was the tips just being shared and put in practice (or it was just the fact that he is a strong boy), we have a new member in the Three Plate Club,Zhan Wei,as he lifted 160kg easily.

Glen also deserved an honourable mentioned as he too hit 3 plates with the sumo stance for the first time.


But the day belonged to Kevin and Lee.


Make the day yours!
