Strongman (strength athlete) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search This article does not cite any references or sources (February 2008) Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources Unverifiable material may be challenged and removed. In the 19th century , the term strongman referred to an exhibitor of strength (before strength sports were codified into weightlifting powerlifting etc., becoming actual athletic competitions) or circus performers of similar ilk who displayed feats of strength such as the bent press (not to be confused with the bench press , which didn't exist back then), supporting large amounts of weight held overhead at arm's length, steel bending, chain breaking, etc. Large amounts of wrist, hand, and tendon strength were required for these feats, as well as prodigious oblique strength In the late 20th century the term strongman changed to describe one who competes in strength athletics - a more modern eclectic strength competition in which competitors lift rocks, tote refrigerators, pull trains, walk while towing an eighteen wheel truck behind them, etc. The most famous competition of this type is World's Strongest Man and the " World's Strongest Man Super Series ", however

5. StrongmanFeats.com A teaching tribute to keeping the ancient art of showing off alive and well in the modern era through the performance of oldtime feats of strength like http://www.strongmanfeats.com/

This site is a tribute to all those past and present that stepped out of the box and then hoisted it up over their head with one arm. The box symbolizes the modern state of our physical culture in which steroids, growth hormones and synthetic everything is considered as much a part of weight training as the dumbbell but in my opinion the only dumbbell is the one sticking the needle in their hind end and poisoning their mind, body and soul. Physical fitness training and athletics should make you healthier as a whole not building up one part of the body only to destroy another. The days of Herculean strength in a hard healthy body, sound mind and heart of goodness has all but vanished from this era. I have developed a great fondness for the strongman feats of old and admiration for those who perform them. This includes both the legends of yesteryear to the handful of those who have dedicated themselves to keeping the spirit of functional strength alive and well. As a practicing strongman I felt it was my duty to make a way of introducing and sharing this unique niche of strength with other iron warriors both young and old. Besides who does not like

6. Iron Dungeon - Bodybuilding - Strongman FAQ Frequently asked questions about strongman competitions by Tapio Ojanaho. http://www.impulseadventure.com/weights/strongman.html

Home Digital Photography Photo Gallery Bodybuilding ... Return to the Iron Dungeon The Strongman FAQ by Tapio Ojanaho 1. What are strongman competitions? A typical strongman competition consists of six events. The first three events are used to qualify eight finalists for the last three events. There are about fifteen different events established so far. The promoter of a particular competition chooses from among these. Many of these events are adopted from traditional, centuries old contests like Scottish Highland Games and the Basque contests in Spain. Variations of regular powerlifts are used to test pure strength. The composition of competitions must vary to prevent favoring certain (types of) competitors. For example, if you have two pressing events, you make it easier for Olympic lifters and powerlifters. Qualifying heats must be arranged if there are many competitors. Usually 10-15 men are invited to compete in a regular competition, as a larger number would make the competition unbearably long. In major contests like World's Strongest Man, qualifying heats and final heats are held on separate days. Some of the most common events are: Farmer's Walk Competitors carry heavy "suitcases" weighing about 110 kg (245 lbs) in each hand for a set distance, and compete for the fastest time. Otherwise, they compete for total distance.

Scalable Trust of Next Generation Management (STRONGMAN) Goals Activities People Papers ... Links Goals Mechanisms such as IPsec allow cryptographically secured communication among nodes and network elements on the IP Internet. Furthermore, the role of firewalls as access control and policy enforcement points in such an infrastructure becomes even more profound. Building a secure next generation information infrastructure demands automated management of keys and policy, for reasons of both risk management (in the small) and automatic configuration of boundary controllers (as the information infrastructure is scaled to an environment with many millions of nodes). By automated management, we mean the translation of a high-level security policy into actions which support that policy at every relevant level of the information infrastructure. Thus, security policy must be reflected in decisions about trust of sources of information, for example in the acceptance of a remote invocation. Our belief is that the investigation of scalable automated trust management will lead to a huge leap forward in the ability of an organization to deploy an auditable error-free realization of network infrastructure meeting security policy goals. The basis of our approach is the KeyNote trust management system being investigated at the University of Pennsylvania and Activities Developed FileTeller , a system for buying and selling storage on the network utilizing a micropayment scheme.

Magazine WELCOME to the North America Deaf Strongman website. This is the official Deaf Strongman website for all Deaf Strongman competitions in North America. The first Deaf Strongman competition is planned to take place sometime in 2008. Previously the plan was to host this firest ever Deaf Strongman games in 2007 but was changed to better plan the event with sComm, Inc, with their successful product the UbiDuo communicator device which began it’s mass distribution on January 29, 2007. The company will be the official sponsor for the first ever North America Deaf Strongman event. UPDATE (October 27, 2007): Due to the limited number of participants for the competition the people of sComm and North America Strongman Games have decided that there will be no contest this year or next year. This goal to have the first ever deaf/hh strongman game is as of now shut down. We apologize any inconvenience this may have caused. And we hope that those who were planning to compete to continue with their exercise program and compete in other nearby local strongman events. I hope this idea has been an inspiration to others to try their hands on in strongman competitions. UPDATE (June 25, 2007): Over the next 2 to 3 months a decision should be made on the location for the first ever North America Deaf Strongman games. The favorite site right now is looking to be Phoenix, AZ where the next 2008 Deaf Nation expo will take place. Be sure to prepare yourselves for this competition. Look under “NADS FAQS” on the left for more information on where you can do your training flipping tires and lifting Atlas stones. Or you can just do the best you can at your local gym.

Is an Iraqi Strongman Emerging? A Strongman for Iraq? by Daniel Pipes New York Post April 28, 2003 Print Send Comment RSS Share: Translations of this item: French Hindi Italian Spanish Thousands of Iraqi Shi'ites chanted "No to America, No to Saddam, Yes to Islam" a few days ago, during pilgrimage rites at the holy city of Karbala. Increasing numbers of Iraqis appear to agree with these sentiments. They have ominous implications for the coalition forces. Gratitude for liberation usually has a short shelf life, and Iraq will be no exception. As a middle-aged factory manager put it, "Thank you, Americans. But now we don't need anybody to stay here anymore." However delighted they are to be rid of the Saddamite nightmare, Iraqis mentally live in a world of conspiracy theories, causing many to harbor deep suspicions of coalition intentions. "Yes to Islam" in effect means "Yes to Iranian-style militant Islam." The introduction of that failed system would be a disaster for Iraq and would revive the Khomeini message, which by now has lost nearly all appeal in Iran.
