Above the Rest Training Systems
Program Description:
Looking to take your strongman performance to the next level? In Q3 of 2024 athletes punched their ticket to mastering two iconic strongman lifts: the Wagon Wheel Deadlift and the Axle Clean and Press. Specifically designed for beginner to intermediate strongman athletes, this 13-week program will guide you through progressively intense training cycles, building raw power, explosive strength, and rock-solid technique.
This quarter focuses on peaking for two max-effort lifts:
- Wagon Wheel Deadlift: Improve your deadlift with this strongman staple, perfect for developing top-end strength and lockout power.
- Axle Clean and Press: Gain the strength, speed, and technique needed to move serious weight with the axle bar, a true test of upper-body power and full-body coordination.
Program Structure:
- Max Effort Upper and Lower Days: Test your limits with heavy lifts designed to build maximal strength.
- Dynamic Effort Training: Develop explosive power and speed using bands, chains, and lighter weights to prepare for the intensity of competition.
- Strongman Event Day: Practice key strongman events like the axle clean and press, focusing on perfecting technique and increasing efficiency with awkward loads.
Key Features:
- 13-Week Progressive Programming: The program is divided into four 3-week waves, leading up to Week 13 where you’ll test your maxes on both the Wagon Wheel Deadlift and the Axle Clean and Press.
- Conjugate Training Method: Built on a modified conjugate template, you’ll alternate between max-effort strength work and dynamic-effort speed work, ensuring consistent gains without plateaus.
- Event-Specific Focus: Each training block is tailored to peak for these two events, with secondary exercises targeting weak points to help you hit new PRs.
- Custom Strongman Programming: Get the most out of every session with strongman-specific accessory work that improves grip strength, lockout power, and overall work capacity.
