Strongman
Strongman is an exceedingly rapidly growing sport with multiple weight categories, and despite its name, it welcomes participants of all genders.
The key lifts in Strongman include the Log press, Deadlift, Carries, Yoke, and Atlas Stones. Nevertheless, there exist numerous variations for each lift, and each event can be approached in a variety of ways, such as lifting the maximum weight or performing maximum repetitions.
