Strongman templates and such?

Hey Coaches

Back in the day I switched to Weightlifting from a PL/General Strength focus, because I found the basic grind of training to be eye-wateringly boring. Weightlifting wasn’t boring, even the light weights felt exciting. However, due to never ending issues with what I was told was “Intersection Syndrome” (common in weightlifters and rowers, basically manifested pretty severe pain in what I can only describe as the radius bone itself), I eventually quit the classical lifts. I could put up with and manage the pain up to a point, but after dealing with it for something like a year, I eventually just got fed up with it.

Since then, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make training fun again for me. I don’t compete, so that doesn’t motivate me. Numbers I only care about up to a certain point, and women don’t start crying when they look at me so I figure I don’t look all that awful either, so appearance isn’t really a motivator for me either. Basic health is a motivator, but that’s not enough to get me back to my super consistent training.

But I still care about strength, and recently, Strongman has really taken my interest. I’m lucky enough to train in a gym with a really good amount of strongman equipment (yokes, farmers handles, stones and platforms for said stones, logs, axels etc. We even have a circus dumbbell!).

So to cut my rambling off, are there any plans for Strongman-type programming, maybe in the form of a template? I’ve really come to trust BBM as a source of programming and training information, and I know Alan does strawngmang stuff, so I figured there may have been talks about this at some point?

Yea we are working on it. Alan just had a kiddo and this Australia seminar has diverted some of my planning time, but we’re working on it!

Sweet! Looking forward to it.

thanks

Any indication as to what kind of equipment will be required when this comes out? I will definitely be buying the template but only have a standard powerlifting setup at home and am wondering how much I would need to spend to be able to run a program like this?

I know that you guys are busy, but it has been some time since this post and I was wondering if there was any sort of update on a timeline?
