Not having much to do so decided to write something for le trolls
This time I will talk about my first proper strongman training at Baarn at Gijs's house at that time. This was after we saw sterkste man van Brielle which was also organized by him. Me and PV saw that on the forum they posted training days and anyone is invited to tag along. So we decided **** it lets go.
We got lost 3 times ....once ur away from city areas its just country, houses, grass and trees after weird glances of people looking at 2 big antilliaans in a small honda civic doing circles we got there before they called the cops.
Upon arrival I saw men screaming and draging a yoke in the middle of the street here I saw Gijs properly for the first time well he is what would happen if u mixed G.I. Joe, Ken, a Greek god and the energizer bunny out of sadistic masochistic cartoon.
He was up and down doing yoke every time putting more and more weight with no belt and changing colors from white to red to blue downing a pak of Choocmelk then log then dumbbell press then tire flip then medleys I almost puked just by looking at him train.
I was about to give up strongman because no way i can have this kind of stamina and joking while doing lifts.
his energy was contagious we all pushed ourselves to the max and did reps with those max's. Now baarn has moved to a well "baarn" or a.k.a Raw Power Baarn where Gijs put allot of hours, sweat and blood in it. It has everything u NEED
thanks to guys like him contributing to the sport and helping anyone willing to improve themselves demanding nothing in return but skin on the bar, sweat on the stones and deep hatred for the black mamba log.
