Slater MonsterBell

The Slater Original MonsterBell was designed as a Heavy-Duty Bell to help train for the Thomas Inch Replica Dumbbell. It grew in size to become a fantastic dumbbell for the overhead dumbbell press, and a number of other various exercises. The weight of the bell can be customized by adding shot, BBs, coins, sand, or a combination of these to achieve the desired weight. The Slater MonsterBell is available in different sizes, with loadable weight capacities ranging from 75 LB to over 250 LBs.

What is a Strongman?

Strongman equipment trains raw, functional strength through odd-object lifting, carrying, and loading — atlas stones, yokes, farmer’s handles, sleds, logs, and tires — rather than the fixed, balanced resistance of a barbell. It’s a fit for lifters who’ve plateaued on conventional strength training and want to build the grip, bracing, and full-body coordination that competition strongman and functional fitness demand, or who simply want the most direct training carryover to real-world lifting and carrying tasks. Most pieces are bulky and some (tires, natural stones) are sourced or repurposed rather than bought outright, so plan for storage space and, in a few cases, DIY sourcing as part of owning this equipment.
