Clontarf Strongman Sessions

OMCCABE

Hey all

Just spreading the word about a Modified Strongman training group that we have up and running indoors in St Anthonys Old all on the Clontarf Road.

The purpose of each session is to improve explosive power & strength (Power work) and to gain strength and power endurance (Conditioning). This is reflected in training techniques we utilise. Our tools include tires, sleds, dumbbells, barbells, chains, ropes and kettlebells. This style of training is an excellent addition to any Rugby, GAA, MMA, Soccer, or weekend warriors strength and conditioning programs.

Here's a few clips of the conditioning training we put ourselves through.

Likewise here's an example of the methods utilized to induce strength and power gains.

Thanks Mak, your welcome to come along. There certainly seems to be a very large carry over from this type of training to submission grappling so naturally the results will be positve for Judo.

Cardio against resistance is the way forward for conditioning.

Good stuff. The ropes look knackering.
I see the sessions are €10. Is this a for profit business or a non profit club?
Thanks

Hey Zamboni

Its a non profit group. There is a fee because we have to pay rent for the hall and we are supplying over a grands worth of equipment for the group to use. (and this equipment is being added too constantly)

I've said it to the group before that the more participants we have...the lower the session fee will be. This reflects the fact that once the expenditure is covered..I'm happy.


The ropes are humbling to say the least.


All the best

Frank Bullitt

Iv done this lads and can fully say its killer.

SanoVitae

Looks fantastic - I really want to give those ropes a go!

Remmy

Thats pretty cool if I was anyway near to it Id pop over for a look.Would you not be better doing the chain pushups off dumbells or a bar?It might reduce some stress on the wrists.

Chet Zar

Looks cool - esp the tyre flipping, fair play.

arybvtcw0eolkf

Hey OP, sorry I didn't get down. I'm laid up with a bloody flu all weekend and haven't stirred out of the house.

Your training looks like great fun, best of luck with it. I'll defo be down after the Christmas.

Hey Remmy

We do have several sets of pushup handles so for anybody with wrist issues that would be a viable option however outside of that I'd only really use them for greater ROM or in the case of the bar, creating a crossover to benching type movements. Thanks for the suggestion.

This Sunday at 4.30 is going to be our last open session before the xmas and new years.

If you never did anything like this before its not a problem. We give a lot of technical instruction on each exercise and the exercises are adjusted to suit everybodies different strength and conditioning levels

Don't want to take the OP off topic, but yep, they currently have farmers walk, tornado ball work, prowler and sleds and believe they have ordered the ropes and tyre. It's an outdoor class though, so is subject to the weather and hasn't been on much before Christmas due to the obvious. It's a great session no matter where you do it really.

Must take a trip out to the Clontarf one to see how they compare too, though it's a bit out of the way for me.

OMCCABE

For those looking to train with us we will be starting training this sunday at 4.30pm . First timers train for free so come on down and give it a go and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
