"The beauty of strongman training is that there's no one way to perform the exercises. You usually end up improvising to complete the event. In other words, things don't usually go according to plan! The tire doesn't always flip over the same way. The sled doesn't always glide easily over the surface. The farmers walk implements don't remain stationary as you zigzag through your course and the sand in the sandbag moves all over the place when you try to lift it.
The awkwardness of these events builds true, "functional" strength from head to toe. This enables you to strengthen muscles that are nearly impossible to strengthen with traditional weight training."
That was taken from Joe DeFranco's article,
Strongman Training for Athletes. Pretty interesting article and something I've been considered mixing in from time to time to keep the works fresh and interesting but also hit those muscles I may miss normally to build my functional strength.
