About this program
Eight-week advanced press-focused block inspired by Žydrūnas Savickas ("Big Z"), 8x Arnold Strongman Classic and holder of multiple log press world records (including 228kg / 502lb). Big Z's training was famously press-dominant — his deadlift wasn't elite among strongmen, but his overhead pressing was untouchable.
This program follows that template: log press 2x/week, axle clean and press 1x/week, plus a heavy push press / strict press day. Squat and deadlift run in maintenance mode. Five training days per week.
Note: Inspired-by, not literal. Big Z's actual training included specific volumes and exercises tied to his individual strengths and competition demands.
