Strongman

The Strongman/Strongwoman scene is moving from strength-to-strength (no pun intended) at the moment, and is as popular as ever. Shows and competitions are getting bigger and better, athletes are getting stronger, and we want to help those who want to get involved with the sport! 

The Program

The purpose of this program is to introduce and transition you in to a Strongman/Strongwoman! This is a beginner program. During this 8 week block, you will improve your deadlift technique, your form on push press and squat, as well as introduce you to the main events often seen in the televised Strongman shows. This is an insanely high quality program, incredibly in-depth and clocking in at over 70 pages, and all 100% free!

This program will get you used to functional strength training; teaching you how to run with farmers frames and yoke, picking up and loading atlas stones, and teaching you how to log press.

This is not a peaking program, so don't aim or plan to run this program hoping to hit a tonne of new PBs at the end of it. However, while you will get stronger, the main goal of this program is to teach you how to lift like a Strongman and execute the lifts effectively and efficiently. It lines you up perfectly to then move on to a long term training plan, be it with MST Systems, or our MST Systems App, or finding your own Strongman coach.

Whilst it's also a beginner program, you will need some prior experience! The weights used in the program are based off your current 1 rep max weights and focuses a lot on percentage work and RPE work, so something to keep in mind!

This is a 4 day training program, with one day being dedicated to the Strongman events.
