We have experienced both, and as always, we want to help you avoid competition disaster. So let’s take a deep dive into exactly how max events work and how you can best coach for and promote them.

It’s no secret that coaching is a tough way to make a living. And discussing pricing is often a difficult task for fitness professionals, especially because most of us aren’t in it for the money. I always tell people that if I could pay my mortgage with their happiness and PR’s, I wouldn’t charge a dime for my coaching.

In my humble opinion, choosing event weights is one of the hardest – and most critical – parts of promoting a strongman competition. If you go too light, people are bored and tired and complaining of “rep fests.” If you go too heavy, too many people zero, and then it’s sad to compete and sad to watch and no one is happy.

A smooth, efficient, and informative rules meeting lays the foundation for a smooth and efficient competition. Talk too long and you’ll lose people. Withhold too much information and you’ll leave people confused and open the door to discrepancies and questions all day.

By Kelly Plush, T-Rex Designs (@trextryingstrongman) Word of mouth no longer automatically directs people to your doorstep: it sends them to your socials. When most people hear a name they’re unfamiliar with, they whip out their phone and search social media. So your digital curb appeal matters now more than ever!

One of the first decisions to make when promoting a strongman competition is what events to have. In almost all cases, it is 100% up to the promoter to choose the events, weights, and overall structure of the competition. If you like overhead events, you can literally promote a show with 5 overhead events. Hate overhead events? You don’t even need to have one.
