YOKE PRESS AND YOKE WALK | STRONGMAN SATURDAY

✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻

IN THE 19TH CENTURY, THE TERM STRONGMAN REFERRED TO AN EXHIBITOR OF STRENGTH OR SIMILAR CIRCUS PERFORMERS WHO PERFORMED FEATS OF STRENGTH. MORE RECENTLY, STRENGTH ATHLETICS, ALSO KNOWN AS STRONGMAN COMPETITIONS, HAVE GROWN IN POPULARITY. THESE COMPETITIONS ARE NOW COMPOSED OF A VARIETY OF EVENTS IN WHICH COMPETITORS HAVE TO MOVE THE HIGHEST WEIGHTS POSSIBLE, THE WINNER BEING THE ONE HAVING THE HIGHEST TALLY ACROSS ALL EVENTS.

IN THE PAST, STRONGMEN WOULD PERFORM VARIOUS FEATS OF STRENGTH SUCH AS THE BENT PRESS (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE BENCH PRESS, WHICH DID NOT EXIST AT THE TIME), SUPPORTING LARGE AMOUNTS OF WEIGHT HELD OVERHEAD AT ARM'S LENGTH, STEEL BENDING, CHAIN BREAKING, ETC. THEY NEEDED TO HAVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WRIST, HAND, AND TENDON STRENGTH FOR THESE FEATS, AS WELL AS PRODIGIOUS OBLIQUE STRENGTH.

IN THE LATE 20TH CENTURY THE TERM STRONGMAN EVOLVED TO DESCRIBE ONE WHO COMPETES IN STRENGTH ATHLETICS A MORE MODERN ECLECTIC STRENGTH COMPETITION IN WHICH COMPETITORS DISPLAY THEIR RAW FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH THROUGH EXERCISES SUCH AS LIFTING ROCKS, ATLAS STONE, YOKE WALK, TOTING REFRIGERATORS, PULLING TRAINS, TOWING AN EIGHTEEN WHEEL TRUCK BEHIND THEM, FARMER WALK, AXEL PRESS, LOG PRESS ETC. THE MOST FAMOUS COMPETITIONS OF THIS TYPE ARE THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN, THE ARNOLD STRONGMAN CLASSIC, THE STRONGMAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND THE GIANTS LIVE TOUR, HOWEVER MANY COUNTRIES HOLD NATIONAL LEVEL COMPETITIONS.

IN RECENT YEARS, INTEREST IN THE SPORT OF STRENGTH ATHLETICS AT THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL HAS SKYROCKETED, LEADING TO THE SPONTANEOUS FORMATION OF LOCAL CLUBS, LOOSELY AFFILIATED WITH PROVINCIAL, STATE AND NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS.
