Power Stairs are a demanding strongman event where athletes move heavy weights up a staircase using full-body strength. It’s a test of grip, hips, and sheer willpower. While not a common gym lift, FitnessTracker recommends training with similar tools like tires or weighted boxes to build leg drive and explosive coordination.
Instructions
- Set a heavy object (like a tire or block) in front of a stair or platform.
- Grab the implement with both hands and keep your chest up.
- Lift with your legs and hips, then use momentum to swing the object up onto the first stair.
- Step up and repeat the process for multiple stairs or reps.
- Use progressive loading to challenge yourself as strength improves.
