Many people that start training for strongman have no idea what they are supposed to do. They just start lifting heavy things with very little fore thought.

Strongman requires explosive speed strength and tremendous, enduring grip strength. The mental aspect of strongman is extremely important as well- you have to be able to tap into a deep inner strength over and over again to overcome pain, fear and exhaustion. You have to drive through when the normal person would be left gasping on the floor. Some might call this intestinal fortitude.

Strongman is not about who is strongest, meaning who has the most ability to lift the heaviest weight. Limit strength is powerlifting. Speed strength is Olympic weightlifting. Strongman is a hybrid where all of the different types of strength are applied along with technical skills on a given set of events on a particular day.
