​

This book is a professional reference for the next generation of strongman coaches. It lays out the core principles, systems, and strategies that shape successful athletes across full seasons. Coaching in strongman demands clear thinking, adaptable structures, and a deep understanding of both barbell and event work. This resource gives you the framework to coach with precision, build athletes methodically, and lead with confidence.

The content is drawn directly from the JHEPC system used to develop athletes from novice to international level, and from the material I use when mentoring coaches one to one. It is designed to be studied, applied, and revisited as your coaching develops.
