STRONGMAN

Strongman training plans, built for your goal

Strongman is decided event by event — a log press and an atlas stone lift demand completely different bracing and technique despite both looking like "lifting heavy," which generic powerlifting programming ignores. SportBlox builds your strongman training plan around your goal, current level and event roster.

Who it's for

Who it's for

First strongman competition

Event-specific technique across stones, yoke, log and deadlift building toward a contest date.

Maximal strength gains

Progressive overload on core lifts to push your log press and deadlift numbers.

General strongman conditioning

Full-body strength and conditioning without a specific competition target.

Sample week

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like atlas stone lapping technique, grip endurance under load, bracing on overhead log press and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

For coaches

FAQ

Strongman training plan FAQ

How many sessions per week does the plan include?

Usually 5–6 sessions covering max-effort lifts, event technique and conditioning, with a rest day.

Do I need access to strongman implements?

Event-specific sessions assume access to a log, stones, yoke or sled; flag limited equipment and the plan substitutes barbell and dumbbell alternatives.

Is strongman training suitable for beginners?

Yes — set skill level to Inexperienced and the plan prioritises technique and conditioning before loading up event-specific weight.

Will it fit around my existing gym or powerlifting routine?

Tell SportBlox what you already train and it layers strongman-specific work around it rather than duplicating volume.

Does it help prevent back and shoulder injuries?

Sessions build the bracing and positional strength that stone lifts and overhead pressing rely on, but flag any existing injury so loading stays conservative.
