There is a local strongman group that meets each Saturday so I'll train with them most weekends plus I plan on doing some more specific work in the gym and at home as I've got some of the gear.
At the moment though it's mid summer here and no one is doing strongman outside so I'm doing a few weeks of base strength building and core work.
Starting point
...
Power clean - 120kg
Push press 100kg
Goals - June
...
Power clean - 130kg
Push press 110kg
Goals - December
...
Power clean - 130kg
Push press 110kg
What's the logic behind focusing on slow strength for December and not increasing power movements? Don't most strongman events have a power bias to them?
To be honest those numbers for December were just something to start with.
I've never had a training plan that could accurately predict gains much past a few months.
I'll still be working to improve my power all the way through to the final comp but if I'm doing 130kg power clean and 110kgpush press then i figure i'll have enough base strength and will focus more on event specific training.
