The journey to the World’s Strongest Man competition begins long before the athletes step onto the arena floor. It’s a gruelling odyssey of training, discipline, and unwavering dedication that shapes them into the formidable competitors they are on competition day.
Months, and often years, of preparation go into readying athletes for the challenges that await them at the World’s Strongest Man. Training regimens are meticulously crafted to build strength, power, and endurance across a wide range of disciplines. Athletes spend countless hours in the gym, pushing their bodies to the limit and honing their skills in events such as the deadlift, log press, and atlas stones. Beyond the physical, athletes cultivate mental fortitude, employing visualisation and mindfulness techniques to overcome challenges. Nutrition plays a crucial role, with high-protein diets supporting muscle growth and recovery.
Rest and recovery are prioritised to prevent injury and optimise performance. In the weeks leading up to the competition, athletes fine-tune their preparation, simulating conditions and refining techniques. Ultimately, preparation for the World’s Strongest Man is a holistic endeavour driven by passion and dedication. When competition day arrives, athletes step onto the stage knowing their efforts have prepared them for the challenge ahead.
Whilst resistance training is a key part of the training required to prepare for the World’s Strongest Man it is actually an effective training method for a wide range of disciplines.
The Arc4Health’s microcurrent therapy can help support your body whatever intensity level you are exercising at. Case studies on resistance training have shown that microcurrent treatment significantly decreased delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) at 12 hours (37.0%), 24 hours (65.9%), and 48 hours (83.3%) after performing an exercise-induced muscle soreness protocol. Microcurrent therapy aims to support the naturally occurring biocurrents within the body in order to boost the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides the cell (and in turn the body) with the energy required for normal everyday functioning, recovery and repair. This means that the Arc4Health is a great device for anyone, no matter what your fitness regime.
