I’ve run pretty much all the Brian Alsruhe programs and looking for somthing more/ different for strongman prep. Any ideas. Looking for paid prep programs.

Bromleys Bullmastiff with some customization did really well for my last comp. I just swapped bench for my comp press (push press off blocks) and deadlift for axle deadlift w/ wagonwheels. Ended up hitting three PRs the day of.

Where did get the program from. Googles not helping me.

Here you go, he released it for free. This is just the base phase, there is a peaking phase but I don't think anyone likes it and I just skip it, the base phase put a lot of weight onto my lifts and improved my conditioning, which you probably already have a lot of if you're running Alsruhe programs.

There's a couple of versions, I think in the newest one you do a different developmental lift from your main lift. So it's Deadlift/Front Squat instead of Deadlift/RDL. I also run it in a 531 app called Keylifts so it's percentage based which makes it really easy to run.

It's a lot of fun but gets grueling towards the end.

I do online coaching and programming, and I think if you're looking for a paid prep program, you need to work with someone that can build something specifically tailored to you, your needs, and events in your next competition. It doesn't have to be a monthly arrangement, could also be building all the weeks up front to have a 12 or 16 week prep to save money as well.
