Shoulder exercise for strong man

Start your strongman training with some shoulder presses. You can choose between a variety of barbell and dumbbell presses, and even some machine presses from time to time. Do around 4 or 5 sets of 8 to 12 reps to build up your shoulders. After shoulders, move on to some movements for the lats. This is important so that you will be better able to lift heavy stones and do any arm over arm pull. You can rotate between a variety of rows and pulldowns or chins.
On these exercises you should do around 4 or 5 sets of 8 to 12 reps again. Next is some work for your triceps. Choose a basic, heavy movement like JM presses, skull crushers, or close grip benches and do 4 sets of 6 to 10 reps. Finish things off with some heavy biceps work. I know a lot of lifters think biceps work is just for bodybuilders, but if you want to be a Strongman, you need strong arms to pull on ropes, squeeze stones and flip tires. More than one powerlifter has tried to make the switch to Strongman training and torn their biceps because of the lack of biceps work in most powerlifting workouts. For biceps, you should do something basic like barbell or dumbbell curls. You can rotate hammer Curls or do curls with a strongman log as well. Do 4 sets of 8 to 12 reps on these. Magnus ver Magnusson has said that hammer curls will help your stone lifting events.
