What Is Strongman Training?
Strongman training is raw strength at its finest. It focuses on lifting, carrying, loading, and holding heavy, often awkward objects like stones, logs, yokes, and sandbags. It tests not only maximal strength, but also grip, conditioning, and mental toughness.
At Reeva Europe, we design gear that can handle the extreme demands of strongman training. Our products are built for heavy loads, rough surfaces, and repeated use—so you can focus on getting stronger every session.
Why Strongman Gear Matters
Strongman events place enormous stress on your back, joints, and grip. You are often lifting outside conventional barbell positions, which makes support and protection even more important. The right strongman gear helps you:
- Protect your lower back during heavy picks and carries
- Support your knees and joints under maximal load
- Maintain a strong grip on bars, handles, and implements
- Reduce injury risk during awkward lifts and carries
- Train heavier, more often, with better control
Strongman is demanding by nature. Quality equipment gives your body the support it needs to withstand this level of training.
Essential Strongman Equipment
Strongman athletes rely on heavy-duty, high-support gear that stands up to serious abuse. Our Strongman collection includes key tools that help you get the most out of every event and training session.
Lifting Belts
A strong, supportive lifting belt is crucial in strongman. Whether you're performing yoke walks, deadlifts, log presses, or stone loads, a belt stabilizes your core and protects your lower back under extreme loads. Our belts are built to handle heavy, repeated use.
Knee Sleeves
Ideal for heavy squats, loading events, and carries. Knee sleeves provide compression, warmth, and stability, helping your knees stay supported when the weight and volume increase.
Wrist Wraps
Perfect for log presses, axle presses, and overhead events. Wrist wraps help keep the wrist joint stable and aligned when pressing heavy and in awkward positions.
Lifting Straps
Essential for heavy deadlifts, axle pulls, frame carries, and other grip-intensive events. Straps help you maintain control of the implement, even when the handle is thick or the weight is maximal.
Chalk
Grip is everything in strongman. Chalk improves friction and reduces moisture, helping you maintain a secure grip on bars, handles, and stones—especially during long or heavy events.
Performance Apparel
Durable, comfortable clothing that can handle friction from stones, bars, and equipment. Our apparel is designed to move with you while standing up to the demands of strongman training.
Choosing the Right Strongman Gear
Strongman athletes need reliable, high-support equipment that matches their experience level and event focus. Consider the following when selecting your gear:
- Beginners benefit from a solid lifting belt, basic knee sleeves, and wrist wraps for foundational support and safety.
- Intermediate athletes often add stronger straps, better chalk, and more supportive sleeves to handle heavier loads.
- Advanced athletes typically use premium belts, stiff wraps, and durable apparel designed for maximum support in competition-level events.
All Reeva strongman gear is built to handle heavy weights, rough surfaces, and frequent, intense training sessions.
