I've had a lot of demand for a powerbuilding program that includes strongman training, so here it is! This is not intended as a program to prepare you for a strongman competition. This is a hypertrophy program that will also help to develop strength on the overhead press, deadlift, carries and drags. So, don't be scared off if you don't have access to many traditional strongman implements. While I recommend having access to a commercial gym to use this program, you will be able to complete it in a well-equipped home gym.
Here are some details about the program:
- It's a six-week program designed to be run multiple times.
- It use a four-day split: two full-body days, one upper day and one lower day.
- It uses a combination of percentage-based and RPE-based training.
- It's a lot of fun!
The course also includes references to my suggested execution of most movements in the program, advice on modifying the program to fit your needs, and access to my list of recommend supplements for recovery.
