Applied Strongman Coaching

 

At Applied Strongman we combine the latest scientific evidence with practical experience to bring you the highest quality coaching possible. We can help you with the unique technical demands, specialized equipment, and strength programming required excel in this sport.

Because Strongman is a fairly young niche sport, scientific research on strongman events is a new and growing field. Our coaches keep up with the latest research on Strongman, Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Crossfit®, and Bodybuilding to blend the best information for Strongman athletes.

Coaching is a collaborative process where you and your coach evaluate your needs and develop strategies for you to succeed. Our goal is to help you become the best athlete you can be while maintaining health and happiness.
