Here is a simple but pretty tough workout to build strength through your whole body.

To give you some background, I am trying an experiment which involves squatting every day possible, including what used to be rest days. So I start each training session with either front or back squats. As time goes on I may widen the variation of squats but we will see how it goes with this selection first.

I don't think it will be fun, actually I think it will suck, but I do think it will be effective in bringing up my squat and making me stronger overall.

Also, for the first time I decided to try sledge hammer training as a finisher. This method is popular amongst mma athletes and although I question why anyone would do it, I have to admit it looks pretty bad ass. Ultimately, it is damn fun and definitely gets the heart rate up. The only areas that I "felt it" were the hands and the wrists. So there may be some merit there for improving grip strength but I would still recommend hill sprints or pushing a truck or prowler for conditioning as a first choice.

Here is the workout I did today, try it if you dare:

• Mobility Work
• Dynamic Warm-Up
• empty barbell complex
• A1 Front Squat
• starting with the bar, keep adding weight each set, working up to a max single
• A2 Push Press
• starting with the bar, keep adding weight each set, working up to a max single
• B1 Strongman Log Clean and Press (substitute barbell clean and press if you don't have a log)
• work up to max single
• B2 Dumbbell Row
• 5 x 10
• Sledge Hammer Training
• 4 x 20 reps for conditioning
