'CLASSIC' FARMERS WALK

Designed by popular demand, these cylindrical farmers walk implements hark back to the early days of strongman competitions, when the likes of Jon Pall and Capes would run around with empty oxygen cylinders. Ours feature the famous adjustable handles, as seen on the Titan's.

As you can see they are beautifully made, with the usual attention to detail.

Weight: 62.7kg each

The loading bars are solid steel, and can be loaded up to an immense amount of weight.


We can offer the 1" (25.5mm) handles (shown in the pictures), or 33mm handles. Please state which you would prefer when ordering. Also additional handles can be purchased (25.5mm, 33mm or 50mm).

Cost: £300 GBP

Also additional pair of handles can be purchased:

33mm = £29.36

50mm = £31.74

Pick up from the manufacturers, or sent via courier.


THE TRITON BAR

The Triton has been designed for anyone who has difficulty benching due to shoulder problems; rotator cuff problems are rife within the strength training community, and this bar will allow you to bench press without shoulder pain. It will also isolate your triceps far more effectively than standard bench pressing. The handle width is adjustable (approx. 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70cm apart).

Also a useful training tool for log pressing and hammer curling. As usual, a solid piece of equipment with a professional finish.

Weight: 18kg
Approx 140cm from inside collar to inside collar
Approx 39cm loading room on each side
Approx 220cm full length of bar

We can offer the 1" (25.5mm) handles (shown in the pictures), or 33mm handles. Please state which you would prefer when ordering. Also additional handles can be purchased (25.5mm or 33mm), incase you require another set to use instead of changing the handles, or for your spotters to hand off the weight.

Cost: £167.99 GBP.

Additional pair of handles can be purchased:

1" (25.5mm) or 33mm = £12 a pair

Pick up from the manufacturers, or sent via courier.


TITAN'S TANK
The All-in-One Adjustable Frame Carry, Farmers & Duck Walk

We offer an incredibly strong, multi purpose item. This mega Frame Carry morphs into a Duck Walk and then to a pair of Farmers simply by adjusting a few hand-turn bolts. Not only this, but the handles can also be raised or lowered to what ever height you require. This feature enables you to train for proficiency on any height of equipment. (See photos of the second and final prototype below; the finished item will be professionally painted and with stickers on.) Our other painted prototypes have been seen by strongmen and highly praised.

The loading bars are solid steel, and can be loaded up to an immense amount of weight.

We can now offer the 1" (25.5mm) handles, or 33mm handles. Please state which you would prefer when ordering. Also additional handles can be purchased (25.5mm, 33mm and 50mm).

YOKE STRENGTH UNIT

The All-in-One Adjustable Strength Unit

This is not just a Yoke, that will just be brought out for one exercise, but a super strong strength station that can be kept assembled for an array of functional exercises. We use the apparatus for the Yoke, Conan's Walk, Squats (Front and back), Safe Press, Loading items over the bar, High Deadlift and Chins with either the 3" Yoke bar or a standard 1" bar that you can buy seperately. It's ideal if you train on your own as no spotters are needed for the majority of these exercises.

There are two Yoke heights, a tall one (shown in the photo) which is useful if you want to use the unit for a chinning bar, and another at 6 foot high. As you can see in the photos the use of Palmgrips which make it easy to change and to tighten. The bottom photo shows the Chin attachment.

This is not mass produced equipment made in China, but bomb-proof innovative equipment built by a proper fabrication company. Please check here for their normal stuff they build. Wow! you say, they build some large items. Yes they do, and this is why the grippers have been received so well - 'bomb-proof', 'hardcore' and 'innovative' are some of the words mentioned. When items are manufactured and assembled in such a hands-on way it takes time, and time is money. Hopefully you will still find our prices competitive. There will be some very interesting designs and apparatus being offered, and when the strongman/strength community see and try this equipment I'm sure they will love it. Everything from Yokes to Farmers, Sleds to Duck Walks will be produced, but all designed differently, and with all the useful extras you'd want. We will also be able to make bespoke items to your exact criteria in the future when we're up and running.
