The Strongman’s Quest: Enter and Win a Strongman Contest

The Strongman Diet
Meal Plan Guidelines: A diet to build strength is a bit different than one for a competitive bodybuilder. You are not only building muscle mass but also working to increase your energy levels, especially around the time of a contest. Most Strongman competitors will eat 5-7 meals a day of lean protein, clean (starchy, fibrous and vegetable) carbohydrates and a limited amount of fat.
  • Drink at least one gallon of water a day, try 16 oz. bottle every 2-4 hours. Sleep is also important.
  • Eat clean foods, this means no added sugars.
  • Every meal should have a one complex carb and a lean protein. For example, eat egg whites and a vegetable with sunflower seeds.
  • No Alcohol
For this stage Travis is just getting started. His meal plan is basic but as he learns more about becoming a Strongman Competitor he will adjust his eating according with what he learns and the advice he gets from the pros.
