Program Description
to add strongman and functional lifting to make gym more interesting. for novice intermediate lifters with access to strongman equipment. program requires access to Stones, yokes and other strongman specific equipment. Adapted from Matt Mills 12 week powerlifting/strongman program. elitelifts.com/education/powerlifting-strongman-hybrid/ please note- for the most part I have not added RPE- You know you better than I do. secondly- I've double-checked program twice the lifts should all be in Kgs- I might have missed some.
