Train for and participate in a strongman competition.

“Event 4 - Hellfire Medley (Sandbag, Farmers, Husafell, Sled Drag) Going into this competition, there was no question in my mind that I was going to blitz this event, but my body had other ideas. Minutes before my run, the entirety of both of my legs were locking up so badly I could barely manage a zombie waddle. That combined with the fact I was already trying to be extra cognizant of any pulling in my right hamstring [...] did not bode well, but it was threatening to rain, and it was my time to go. Main goal was to not injure anything, so I wobbled my way through.”

“AXLE DEADLIFT LADDER: I felt good for this one - 5 deadlifts, 75 seconds at 170/180/190/200/210. Ripped through the first 4 and died on the last one - could not shift it more than a few cms to my suprise. The last axle was different: no knurling and dense - 35kilos. The 200 went up easy but somehow only 10kgs more and on a different bar and just did not get any love. Another 2 in my group failed it though, so wast just me.”

“There were three farmer’s implements, and each had to be carried 40 feet. They weighed 210, 230, and 260 lbs per hand. I finished in 33.93 seconds and took 6th place! Before the competition, I’d never picked up anything close to 520 lbs.”
