Withdraw from a steril vial without ruin the rubber with a 18G

I'm 33. I don't think there will ever be a gym that caters to strongman, that would require lengthy empty space to pull trucks & drag / flip massive tractor tires.

Maybe I'll build one, the only problem is, there aren't a lot of strongman competitors around so I would probably be the only member..................

**clarky.** · 02-03-2013, 03:49 PM

Lol. have you applied for wsm yet bear ??

**The Bear 79** · 02-03-2013, 07:47 PM

You can't apply to the WSM. You have to qualify by placing in the top preselected number in the Strong Man Super Series Grand Prix or be invited to compete.

But yes I will be qualifying at the up coming Grand Prix.

understandable but it seems there would be enuff guys in the US to warrant something like what i mentioned. im surprised nothing like this exists at least on some level. u mean to tell me all strongman competitors train solo and there is no organization? while that may be the case i would be surprised.. maybe im a dumb ass but to me it seems like a good idea.

certainly there are US powerlifting comps that utilize the same method/style of lifting in their contests rnt there? u dont have to go to WSM to compete with say atlas stones or tractor tire flip or farmers walk do u?

I agree, its a great idea, I just don't know of any such gyms in my area, there may be one somewhere, just not near me. As for power lifters, I have no idea how they train, I'm pretty sure they don't have a need for flat, wide open space to pull trucks or carry cars & such.................maybe I'm wrong...........I don't know.

http://trainingattheedge.com/membership/ -->> be sure to click on "TOYS" under About

**The Bear 79** · 02-03-2013, 08:30 PM

That's an online training instruction right? That's what it looks like anyway.

I googled strongman training gyms in my area a few times in the last couple years, but haven't had any luck. I'll keep searching though.

I just switched and love it. Slows me down a lil bit. I've just been slammin the gear in and seem to have less pip when plunging slower throught the 25g.

To each his own though.

**belva** · 02-04-2013, 07:05 AM

Ok, I tried and I can withdrow with 25g, it just take a little bit longer but it's fine.

Sorry pal, you won't ever find me posting when & where I will be appearing somewhere. If you see a new guy on the circuit going by the name of Bear, you can deduce from that what you will, but I will never confirm my identity.

What do you mean by back load?

Pump air into the vial, the air will force the oil into the syringe, basically the syringe will load itself.
