MEET GEORGE.
He weighs 85kg.
His best gym lifts are:


  • Deadlift 210kg

  • Clean/ Jerk 90kg

  • Bench 105kg

  • Log Lift 95kg

  • Squat 175kg


He trains at the weekend for a forthcoming
strongman competition with his boyfriend.
One of his competition events is deadlift for max.
But George also needs to think of four other
events to score well in.
An example beginner periodisation would be to
spread the volume over three weeks to get a fully
beneficial workout for static strength events, moving
events, and stamina events every week without
the risk of overtraining.
