How to best combine strongman training and strength training

[ambivalens]

Hey guys!

I just recently started working out with a strongman team, and I was wondering how to best set up the sport specific training around continuing to push squats, deads and presses.

I know for sure there will be strongman training every Sunday. Should I do 1 day of Strongman and 3 of strength training? I'm currently following a pretty straight HLM setup on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I'd probably make that something like this:
Sunday: Strongman Monday: Light day Wednesday: Medium Friday: Heavy

Or would 2 days of Strongman and 2 days of strength training be better?
Sunday: Strongman Monday: Light/medium(?) Wednesday: Strongman Friday: Heavy

Anyone with any thoughts or experiences would be very welcome to chime in.

Tuesday- heavy
Thursday- light
Saturday- medium
Sunday- strong man

Or

Monday- medium
Wednesday- light
Friday- heavy
Sunday- strongman

Intermediate strongman programming

You could do what they are doing? They can't be doing event-specific training every day, every strongman programming I have seen is more like 2-4 days of strength, and 1-2 days of event-specific. Depending on how far out from competitions, naturally.

Yeah, I think they're really only doing 1 day a week of serious event specific work, and the rest seems to be squatting, deadlifting and overhead pressing in some variation or other. I'll try to work with them as much as I can, but as a template I'll pick what Cody outlined:

Monday- medium
Wednesday- light
Friday- heavy
Sunday- strongman

I did a medium-ish day today, since I'm pretty beat up from strongman event work yesterday. I imagine I won't be as sore as I am today every Monday, so a medium day should fit the bill pretty well.
