Sprints and Strongman

It finally feels like summer here in Calgary and with that comes outdoor workouts. So on Monday instead of the usual kettlebell workout in my spare room, I decided to hit the park for some pull-ups and hill sprints. Nothing feels better than getting your swole on out in the fresh air and sunshine.

Monday, Hill Sprints
  • Walk to the park
    • 10 mins
  • Pull-Ups
    • 4 x max reps
  • Hill Sprints
    • 10 times
  • Walk home
    • 10 mins
If you want to get creative and mix kettlebells with hill sprints, then try this idea out.


On Tuesday I practiced for an upcoming strongman contest by working on my overhead pressing. For some reason the fat bar/axle press is coming along nicely while my log pressing is possibly getting worse. Frustrating for sure, but these things happen when you are training constantly and trying to push all your lifts at the same time.

  • A2 Pull-Ups
    • 5 x 8
  • B1 Strongman Log Clean and Press
    • 180 x 1, 200 x 1, 220 x 1 250 x miss, miss, 220 x 1
  • B2 Machine Row

  • Strict Dumbbell Standing Press

    I might try the kettlebell with the hill sprint. There is a great hill for this at the college next to my house. Thanks!
