The Big 6 Program improves every fundamental a good strongman needs to be successful: Log, Stones, Deadlift, Yoke, Sandbags, and Farmers
There are many common issues that strongman athletes face in training:
It's difficult and frustrating to figure out how to train all these different events while successfully improving your strength and conditioning.
It may be fun to just max out routinely on the strongman lifts but it leads to burnout, injuries, stagnation, and plateaus.
In competition, an athlete could see a variety of rulesets to each lift: max weight, max reps, long distances, shouldering, carry + shoulders, medleys, series, etc. To be a well rounded strength athlete, you need the physical toolsets and technique to be ready for all of these demands. More often than not, rules change on the day of competition, requiring completely different strategies than planned for.
The Big 6 Program addresses all of these problems by systematically progressing the foundational lifts while rotating events and techniques of the strongman implements. This allows the trainee to stay fresh, rapidly develop their techniques, and reliably make massive progress in the foundational core lifts of strongman.
The program is 4x/week, requires access to strongman equipment, and runs for 13 total weeks: 12 weeks of training + a peak week to test new maxes.
Since ALL levels of strongmen require proficiency in the big 6, this program can be successfully run by all levels from novices to pros. By using RPE (rate of perceived exertion) and Percentage based work, this program meets you where you're at to take you to the next level!
