Upper Body Size and Strength Workout

By Nathan Donahue on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 4:58 PM , in , , , 1 Comment

The Strongman contest at the Calgary Salsa Fest is coming soon so I am focusing my training 100% on this event. With that in mind my upper body workout today consisted of only log clean and press with some battling rope work at the end. Here is the workout I did:

 AM
  • Mobility Drills
  • TACFIT body weight circuit




PM
  • Strongman Log Clean and Press
    • worked up to a max single, failed once and then got it the second time
    • dropped the weight for 3 x 3
    • dropped the weight again for 3 x 10-12
  • Battling Rope
    • 2 sets
All that log work took me about 30 minutes so I was pretty much done after that. If you don't have a log I still recommend putting your time in with the clean and press. It builds a ton of muscle, is a nice break from benching for your shoulders, and sends your metabolism through the roof!
