I did one strongman meet years ago at age 52 less than a year after shoulder replacement. Yes, I'm stronger than I am smart! I was a professional powerlifter and had always wanted to do a strongman meet. I found a group with all the equipment about 125 miles away. I drove there the 2 weekends before the meet to get familiar with the apparatus...GLAD I DID! I got 3rd in the meet and didn't get injured. That was my goals. To place and not end my powerlifting career! I loved it! Next to 2 a days in football in August in Alabama it was the hardest thing I'd ever done! I walked away with a whole different level of respect for strongman athletes!
