73 reviews for Fullsterkur Strongman Program
Developed by Alex Bromley, a 15 year veteran in strength sports who has competed in over 50 Strongman contests, Fullsterkur is a strongman program that you can do in any commercial gym with just basic barbells, dumbbells, and gym machines.
Fullsterkur program features many compound exercise variations that aim to mimic Strongman competition exercises and equipment use with the goal to develop static strength, work capacity, trunk & upper back thickness, explosiveness, and grip strength.
Why train Strongman?
Strongman training is about developing true functional strength. Not only do you learn to lift heavy objects, you learn to move them through different planes of motion, distances, and time durations. You will develop absolute strength, explosiveness, and conditioning that translate to real life.
Strength competitions have been going on since at least 6000 B.C., which culminated to the modern World's Strongest Man Competition in 1977. Strongman competitions require heavy stones, logs, sleds, sandbags, kegs, etc. This is where Fullsterkur comes in...

I’ve enjoyed working through multiple programs written by Bromley and this program is just what I needed in preparation for my next strongman competition!

Very different as a program of what I usually do. Lots of shoulder training. Definitely going to re do it

I just started learning about strongman and wanted to find a starting point. This is the least gimmick riddled program I found. It's easy to understand, intense enough for progress, and recovery is appropriate. Follow the program with as few modifications as possible the first time through.

Still only in the prep block. But having trained strongman before, this programme will introduce people to the experiences found in the training and competition. Will also put some size on your shoulders and triceps for sure.

Program ran as described by Bromley. Less chest growth expected from author's overview. Peak week felt awkward with the extremely decline in volume. Overall 5 star program and I like it.

Program is good and pushes you. My biggest problem is that the intensity is always high and I get burnt out and rundown midway through the program. This is my second time running the program and both times I got stronger. I do have a back injury so some adjustments were necessary. Alternate exercises would be nice.

I think this is excellent for my goals of building strength and learning to deal with very heavy loads. I wanted to emphasize upper body a little more, i modified the squat sets to bench pressing.

This should be called “Build a back workshop” as you will get a big backside!

Another great program from Alex Bromley. I've been using it for my jiu jitsu S&C and it's been great for that. Strength is a technique. All around solid and well laid out program.
