Rock Solid is a gym with a difference. Rock Solid is not CrossFit, it is not power lifting and it is not strongman. Rock Solid uses convention and unconventional training methods to get the most out of their athletes. CrossFit Norwest is proud to announce its association with Rock Solid, bringing Strongman equipment to CrossFit Styled workouts.

Pete, owner of Rock Solid is national age champion for power lifting punching out a 190kg bench at 42 years of age. He is shooting for 210kg in his next competition. Rock Solid hold and host many competitions that bridge the gap between strongman and CrossFit. Essentially CrossFit is strongman for the small guys. CrossFitters move awkward weights, large distances at speed. The same as the crazy guys from Iceland, just a smaller weight.

Strongman can be incorporated into CrossFit by subbing a stone for  a barbbell, a yoke for a squat rack or a tyre for a dead lift. Same movement,  just a little harder to control. Strongman and CrossFit take TWO dimensional lifting to a THREE dimensional sport.

CrossFit Norwest in association with Rock Solid is bringing Strongman to Sydney. Stay tuned for  strongman styled workouts and equipment being implemented at CrossFit Norwest.
