Episode 51: How to Train When You Don’t Have an Implement

Listen Later

Welcome to Strong Woman Radio, a sanctuary free of testosterone (except for a few special guests), where ladies who like to lift heavy things can chitchat about the struggles and success that comes with being a woman in a male dominated sport. We welcome listeners of all sports, be it strongman, Crossfit, olympic lifting or more; but be warned we don't like running very much unless we are carrying or dragging something heavy while we do it.

Episode 51, How to Train When You Don't Have an Implement
  • Intro (0:00)

  • Latest & Greatest (1:16)
    • Welcome back Stacy! She's back from vacation with her sisters and dad!

  • She visited her relatives on her dad's mom's side. And they're pig farmers! How interesting!

  • Stacy saw a Contiki tour bus, reminding her of Viv's trip.

  • Super long flight back, wrecking her body and her jet lag is intense.

  • Stacy would have returned to Strongman at Crossfit Burke this week, but the trip wiped her out. Instead, she attended a seminar with Calle Beck.


  • Vivian is training for United States Strongman Nationals! (7:01)
    • She hates everything.

  • Up until the competition starts, Vivian is always unhappy. Which is the opposite of all other times.


  • Let's talk about Vivian's preparations! (8:57)
    • She's lifting intense every day now and extremely tired, but after her week off before the competition she'll be anxious to lift heavy again!

  • You're much less likely to have a bad day after that rest.

  • She's very excited to compete because there are over 300 competitors coming, including 8 Superheavyweight Women!


  • How do you train if you don't have the implements? (10:57)
    • This competition, she's doing Fingal Fingers (essentially flipping a giant telephone pole).

  • She improvised by turning a yoke into a finger.

  • Viv should put this on YouTube!

  • Look for similar events you can train. A Conan's Wheel is a Zercher hold Farmers' Carry!

  • If you can, you'd want to visit the gym where the competition is and train on your actual competition equipment!
