This is not an exhaustive list of types of strongman event, or complete list of
ways you can train for them. I strongly recommend that you take every
opportunity to play with real strongman gear when you can. However,
these are good and viable gym-based alternatives for the main types of
strongman events.

If this has captured your interest, and you would like to add even more
structure to your strongman training, check out my free strongman
programming. The first two workouts each week are perfect for those who
have little or no access to strongman equipment, as they are entirely gym
based. For the event day each week, simply switch the actual events for the
suggestions above. The event categories even match up to the ones in this
article. Don’t say I’m not good to you!
