Applied Strongman Training for Sport

Charles Poliquin, Art McDermott

There has been a huge need for this material for many years. Most coaches have been using strongman movements in their training without a clue about what they are doing. In some cases they are causing more harm by doing the movement incorrectly than what is being gained. This book was designed to help bring this gap.Modified Strongman Training is a unique modality requiring extensive knowledge regarding the mental and physical limits of the population to be trained. It is imperative that the same thorough safety precautions be taken for strongman training that would be taken for any weight room session. It is also crucial that your athletes are physically capable of handing the implements to be used. Overreaching and/or improper technique with modified strongman training has the same potential for injury as any weight room exercise. Every strength coach need to keep in mind the old medicine adage, "Do no harm."
