About this program
Ten-week advanced strongman block inspired by Hafthor Bjornsson's general training approach during his 501kg deadlift PR era (2020). Built around the Icelandic strongman tradition: heavy compound lifts (squat, deadlift, log press) at high intensity, abundant deadlift volume, and event work cycled through the week. Five training days per week.
The deadlift is the centerpiece — it appears twice per week in different forms (heavy + speed/competition stance). The log press hits twice per week. Squat and event days fill in the rest.
Note: This is a program *inspired by* Hafthor's documented general approach, not a literal recreation of his specific training. Use as a heavy-strength template for advanced strongmen.
