Brian Alsruhe (Maryland’s strongest man) is a gym owner and strength coach from Maryland that has been producing lots of great free content for the lifting community. The Dark Horse program is generally organized as an upper/lower split with each of the 4 days based around a major compound movement (squat, bench press, deadlift, or overhead press).

This is a complicated program and it is highly recommended you head over to the Dark Horse program page to view Brian’s video instructions for the program.
