Welcome Novices to Colt Breakers 2025! 


This program is 16 weeks long and is meant to prepare novices for the Colt Breakers 2025 competition in Cheyenne, WY. 

ATR has hosted this event every year since 2022 to give athletes the opportunity to give Strongman a try in a very inclusive an supportive environment. 

This training program is meant to go out as a means of giving athletes who many not have the resources or know-how the ability to organize their training and come into the competition ready to compete!

Even if you're not planning to compete this training program is 16 weeks of Strongman training for just $20. That means you're paying less than $0.30 per workout.
