Is there a beginner strongman program?
Benjamin Hughes
Nathan Garcia
Any manual labor
Hunter Richardson
What level of development are you at? A complete beginner to lifting weights may not be able to safely use implements.
Hunter Thomas
Starting Strongman (Kalle Beck) or Cube Method for Strongman both work for beginners.
Jayden King
I've never done strongman at all before
Jack Peterson
Same as a beginner powerlifting program but do ohp as well, lots of people spend way to much time focusing on events and forget that you need to be strong first.
Sebastian Green
Hey retard I meant what are your lifts
Joshua Ward
Squats
Deadlifts
Overhead dumbbell presses
Overhead presses
Zercher deadlifts
Front squats
Farmer carries
It's hard to get into strongman training without any of the implements though. Nothing exactly mimics log or yoke or atlas stones. Also you'll be pretty much completely neglecting chest so you'll look like shit unless you're roiding which if you want to compete at all you'll have to be.
Isaac Allen
I don't care about competing; I just want to be strong in unique ways instead of over being strong in a 1 inch bench press or wide stance sumo deadlift
Anthony Taylor
Just find a strongman gym, or a novice comp somewhere. Bunch of top guys started out just by doing lots of comps when they didn't have equipment.
James Lee
140kg squat
65kg press
150kg deadlift
65kg BW
Gavin Davis
Lol, not him but get your lifts and bodyweight to at least advanced tier before attempting any strongman, what's your height
Liam Sullivan
5'7
>at least advanced tier before attempting any strongman
Why does it make sense to delay skill development?
Carter Martin
You still have beginner gains to make if you finish SS. Skill doesn't matter when the implements are too heavy and you aren't even at baseline strength to train them. You should finish SS and then do the four day Texas method split to completion and then join a strongman club where they will guide your programming.
Andrew Nguyen
>SS
>four day texas method
lmao
Ayden Evans
Great argument retard
Easton Rodriguez
Breddy sure the beginner strongman program is realising you are stronger than everyone at your gym as an untrained teenager.
Andrew Cox
>Why does it make sense to delay skill development?
Because you don't have the strength development to put up weight of any significance, If you don't have at least advanced strength like 90kg OHP/140kg bench/180kg squat/200kg deadlift you'll still be making baseline strength gains in an inefficient way when you should just be learning how to lift the different objects. Like says you should just continue SS if you haven't capped out newb gains which I suspect you haven't cuz unless you have really light bones you are like 10% body fat or less then you should run the Texas method since you don't seem to care about aesthetics
William Jackson
texas method is not a good program
Eli Smith
Why not just do a normal rom bench press and normal rom squat
Angel Scott
Those are still just two exercise. I want to be able to carry odd objects, to press odd objects, to train both max strength and endurance
Luis Cruz
If he only cares about strength it is a good program
