Maybe it has interested you but you are not sure where to start. Or perhaps you have tried to learn more and found there is a shortage of accessible information for non-competitors.As a word-of-mouth sport, strongman knowledge has long been passed on only through veteran coaches and athletes. Strongman Training for Strength and Performance aims to switch things up by providing quality guidance on how to use strongman exercises to experience the benefits of this unique approach to training.With guidance from experienced coaches, you can learn how to incorporate strongman exercises and their many alternatives into your current training. Sample eight-week training programs are provided, allowing you to choose from one of four common goals: lose body fat, gain muscle, increase strength, or improve athletic performance. Each program offers three levels based on your training background:Level 1: Perfect for anyone with resistance training experience. You know your way around a standard gym or weight room but have not been training regularly―or you just recently resumed training.Level 2: Regular resistance training is already part of your routine, and you are looking to incorporate strongman training into your routine or to potentially compete for fun!Level 3: A good fit for athletes. You have extensive experience with resistance training and want to reach peak performance for your sport or for strongman competitions.Each of the 15 main exercises and 45 alternative exercises is accompanied by photos and written descriptions. There are common errors and corrections for each exercise as well as progressions, regressions, and alternative equipment options.You don’t need to become a strongman competitor to reap the benefits of this training approach.
