6 years ago I was working for an insurance company doing mindless data entry, stuck in a rut with no idea what the future would hold.

Little did I know I was days away from hitting rock bottom.

Before I knew it I was fired from my job and left with nothing to my name.

The day my 11th job application of the week got rejected, I decided that I was going to make my own fate.

I'd always had a dream of owning my own gym but never thought I'd get the opportunity.

After a decade of competing in strongman and being told constantly that there was no money in the sport...

I thought f*ck it.

I took a lease out on a janky old warehouse building and borrowed money from anyone that would listen to buy gym equipment.

It was a painfully slow process to get good business at first.

I was coaching anyone and everyone who came through the door.

Friends, parents, partners, kids.

It didn’t matter what you looked like or the style of training you wanted.

It didn’t matter to me if they wanted to deadlift 400kg, lose some weight before a girls holiday, or get their first press up.

Everyone became a potential client, when I had bills to pay.

After the first year we had found a core group of athletes that all wanted to get strong and this became my ride or die customer base.

It took only one year for us to out grow the space we had and I decided we needed somewhere bigger and better.

The BUILD A PROGRAMME section of the app has set parameters that you need to work in between.

At first you chose whether you want to train for a competition or work on weaknesses during the off season.

After this you select if you want to work on skill acquisition or peak for a new 1RM.

Skill acquisition work will focus on improving your technique on lifts and building work capacity through volume blocks.

While peaks will get your strength up to maximum levels, ready to smash PBs in the gym or competition.

All programmes are 8 weeks long, because I believe that an 8 week cycle with in built deload sessions is the most optimal structure and duration for getting stronger.

We have only listed 300+ exercises out of the millions available.

I believe these are the most optimal, bang for your buck exercises for getting better at strongman.

I have only used exercises that I use with my clients.

If I didn't believe the exercises was worthwhile, it would not be in the app!

Each session starts with a movement prep, for getting your body ready to lift heavy in a healthy manner.

Then you choose what exercise to do for your main compound lift, Squats, Deadlifts, Log Press, Bench and then chose available accessories for each lift.

And then each session finishes with mandatory shoulder/ankle/knee/hip stability work and a parasympathetic switch.

This is to give your nervous system chance to relax after a taxing session and allow your body to start recovering faster.
