After yesterday's insanity with the Atlas Stones I honestly didn't have a lot in me today. I went into the gym tire, sore and beat up.With that in mind I just tried to get some work in and practice the events for upcoming contests. To be honest, when you are feeling like this it is usually best to stay home and just rest.
Sunday, Strongman Practice
- Mobility Work
- Dynamic Warm-Up
- Circus Dumbbell, using Fat Gripz
- 40lb x 5/5, 50lb x 5/5, 50lb x 5/5, 60lb x 3/3, 70lb x 3/3, 80lb x 1/1, 90lb x 1/1, 100lb x 1/1, 115lb x 1/1, 120lb x 1/1
- I don't know if it was yesterday's workout but 120lbs felt like the weight of the world so I shut this lift down early
- Tire Flip
- 700lb tire
- 5 x 5, trying to flip the tire in one motion
- Keg Carry
- 200lb keg 4 x 60'
- Sled Drag
- 6 x 60'
- reverse pull using a thick rope to hit the quads
Tire flipping is a man maker drill. Here is a great video to show you how to safely flip a tire.
Carrying drills are a great method to improve conditioning and create hypertrophy at the same time due to time under tension.
Sled dragging and pushing is one of my favorite ways to end a workout because there is no impact on the joints, it really pushes the conditioning, and it too can force hypertrophy.

Wow, these are some interesting and creative exercises! Might be a little bit out of my skill range, though. Still, it's fun to learn about all the different ways people stay in shape!
You can't be afraid to try new things. But the sled or vehicle pushing and pushing is something everyone can do is great for leg strength and conditioning.
