65 reviews for Fullsterkur Strongman Program
Developed by Alex Bromley, a 15 year veteran in strength sports who has competed in over 50 Strongman contests, Fullsterkur is a strongman program that you can do in any commercial gym with just basic barbells, dumbbells, and gym machines.
Fullsterkur program features many compound exercise variations that aim to mimic Strongman competition exercises and equipment use with the goal to develop static strength, work capacity, trunk & upper back thickness, explosiveness, and grip strength.
Why train Strongman?
Strongman training is about developing true functional strength. Not only do you learn to lift heavy objects, you learn to move them through different planes of motion, distances, and time durations. You will develop absolute strength, explosiveness, and conditioning that translate to real life.
Strength competitions have been going on since at least 6000 B.C., which culminated to the modern World's Strongest Man Competition in 1977. Strongman competitions require heavy stones, logs, sleds, sandbags, kegs, etc. This is where Fullsterkur comes in...

Another great program from Alex Bromley. I've been using it for my jiu jitsu S&C and it's been great for that. Strength is a technique. All around solid and well laid out program.

I’d like to be able to ask the creator questions and have a program specifically designed for me.

I liked the base phase, peaking phase not as much, I ended up doing only half of it. With that, I did not PR my deadlift or push press, but I did put on a noticeable amount of muscle in my arms and shoulders, and oddly enough I PRed my front and back squat by 5 kilos each. My biggest mistake was probably setting the deficit on the deadlift too high, as it reinforced some technical errors I was making.

Really good program for any strength athlete. Personally I'd add more chest volume during the peak phase but otherwise very good program

It helps a lot to put in a few new and good variations of destroying your body. I personally usually stick to a few big exercises and so it’s a very good new blueprint. And overall it has good structure and it’s well balanced in terms of musclegroups

The program was very enjoyable and my body (mostly back) gained some noticeable thickness, stability and strength as promised. The lower body and back exercises went up, but my press strength stayed the same. I think this could be 5/5 program if the upper body part was improved. Deadlift 185 to 205 (arap doubled!) Ohp no Progress

Good program, I followed it too strictly the first time I ran it and did not get the results I wanted however following it more loosely the second time I made some real progress. The programming itself is good just make you make the changes that will accomodate your needs instead of following the program to a key. The rest is fine, great program if you want to build a foundation for more specific strongman training in the future.

Carefully follow the RPE on this plan. Easy to feel like the load is absurd when he’s asking for 5RPE and u do 7-8. Good program overall, feel like I’ll be at a good spot for my strongman comp.
