Strongman on tv

I remember a time in the dark ages many years ago when we started adding Strongman training to athletes and regular clients programming at TPS.
There was an outcry from lots of "professional" trainers and coaches on the internet and at a few seminars that I had attended that doing this was sure to cause catastrophic  injury to all of our clients and athletes. In the entire time that we have been doing this at TPS with clients (not Strongman competitors) we have not had 1 injury from this. Of course with Strongman competitors we see injury all the time. This is due to the massive weights that they handle. There is no way around injury for a competitor.
With clients, you need to load the events much lighter, but still heavy enough to get a training effect. Loading the clients training properly PREVENTS injury. It does not cause it.

I also wrote an article for a magazine predicting that this was the wave of the future, as it was the ultimate form of "functional" training. Not the nonsense you see done at most places. I was called a lot of different names by some, including idiot and  .some that were not so nice.

It seems that I may have been correct as it is now being done EVERYWHERE.

I am happy to see it too. I am sad when people do it wrong.
here is a video from the Today 'Show where it look like they are doing a decent job at it.
