Hey guys,

I just moved to morgantown, wv and am looking for anyone that does strongman around the area, or even a good gym. I trained with my dad, Joe Brausch, and Todd Seiple; I do have expierence in strongman and highland games. Im here for grad school going for sports medicine and need a place to train because I dont want to wait 25 min for some kid to get done doing curls in the squat rack . thanks and let me know

Joe,
We (mainly a friend and I) train at ProPerformance Rx at Mylan Parkhttp://www.properformancerx.com/. It is $36 a month but is a really nice facility. They have probably 8 or so power racks with olympic platforms, DB's up to 180, pretty much everything you need and it isn't crowded like the Rec center....best of all we have a nice strongman collection started. Four different logs, a couple axles with tires, 2 different yokes, a 800lb tire, 600lb tire, a bunch of farmers implements, stones up to 385 with 5 boxes, sleds, prowler, among other things. Also, there is a covered 80 yd indoor football field that can be used for training which is great in the winter. Let me know if you need info on how to get there or if you are interested in training some events.

PS. If anybody is going to be at America's strongest man and wants to get in a training session, this gym is literally right up the hill from where the strongman is being held. It is $10 for a day pass.

Got to get my funds in order first to make sure i can afford it. do yall have a specific time you get together to do some strongman event training or do you just do it whenever your there by yourself.

Our schedules are so screwed up, our event training just depends. Most of the time we try to do it on the weekends. I think we are planning on training sometime this coming weekend but I'm not sure what time. I'll let you know more when I know what time if you are interested.
