Black Iron Functional Strength

This program is for the barbell aficionado. Nothing feels better than loading up some weight on the bar and getting after it. There’s also no better way to become your strongest and most powerful self. For that reason, barbell movements dominate this program, with the main objective being to maximize strength and power with a solid mix of powerlifting movements (squat/bench/deadlift) and weightlifting movements (snatch/clean and jerk).

This 5x/week program will progress through various distinct phases, alternating the focus between powerlifting, weightlifting, and many accessory exercises. While the barbell is heavily used throughout; dumbbells, kettlebells, and body weight movements will also be implemented when needed to provide a balanced strength profile.
