Future Strongman Competitions

Littleton's Strongest 2023 was certainly the best introduction to Strongman I could have gotten.  It was a small, friendly field that allowed me to give it a go with relatively light weights.  The other contests I have found on the calendar are much heavier.  I would be competing as a 50+ master's male athlete.

These are all great events with the common theme that I would scratch one or more events as a competitor.  Entry fees are on the order of $80 to $100 plus US Strongman membership for the year at $32.  

If I wanted to take this seriously, I would begin dropping by Iron Titan gym on route to a membership.  I would have to get my deadlift up to a minimum of 405#, stone/sandbag work to 200#, circus dumbbell work to 100#, Log work, Farmer's Handles work to 200#/hand.
