I posted in powerlifting general the other day asking if 6'10 was too tall to be competitive. They recommended that I do strongman.

How long have you been lifting man? I'm 6'7, only 10 months into lifting and nowhere near your body.. Wasn't height and mass just supposed to be a meme?

Ask other people at your gym if they know any strongman or look up a competition in your area. Also StartingStrongman has a gym tracker you can look up. Typically strongman gyms don't advertise themselves or are in someone's garage. So if you find a competition you can ask the planner of it or find a coach/group that is going to it.

Finding another strongman or a group is the best way to get into it; I found a group only by asking around. I went to a competition as a spectator and asked the strongman after they were done. Other than being able to lift heavy, explosively, and for as many reps as possible, you'll need experience with the implements.

Good luck man.
