Strength Enthusiasts is a program that concurrently trains the principles of weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, and bodybuilding in a structured format to maximize strength, power, and conditioning, as well as physical and mental longevity.
We believe strength training is too vast to confine yourself to one training modality. Many say that training these all in the same program will interfere with one another, but when structured correctly the qualities trained by each discipline can have a great compounding effect for each sport.
Training these different barbell disciplines is a guaranteed way to avoid burnout and to continuously remind yourself that the pursuit of strength should be fun, not a chore.
