Abstract

The strongman competition requires athletes to demonstrate intense movement manipulation, forceful power, brute strength, and great athleticism. To gain these attributes the athlete must take part in rigorous training protocol. The training program has to be customized and scientifically researched to meet demands of severe weight bearing loads. The purpose of this presentation was to provide an easily understood training program for the strongman athlete. The program examined the training, nutritional demands, and preparation of the strongman athlete. With every training approach there are always limitations of the general research, in this case, limited peer-reviewed articles related to strongman competitions. This training approach is significant as it should better inform the practices, training, and nutrition of the strongman athlete, so that they may be better prepared for competition.
