I have been chronically sore for several days now. Sometimes I catch my heart rate increasing while I am just sitting around doing nothing. Nevertheless the daily squat challenge must go on.

Today was day 11 of the challenge and once again to my surprise I broke another PR. I felt like crap warming up and was getting nervous just thinking about squatting. During my warm-up sets, my leg muscles felt that deep down soreness that usually only follows a tough workout. But once we got into the heavy sets I was feeling good and pushing solid weights with better form than ever.

Squatting every day is brutal to be sure, but it works.

Here is the workout I did today, hopefully it gives you some ideas.

The yoke walk is a brutal strongman event that involves walking with heavy weights that you are trying not to let swing and rip your spine from your back muscles. Yoke walking sucks but it makes you damn strong. If you don't have a yoke, I recommend farmers walks instead. Use dumbbells in a pinch.

Truck or prowler pushing builds your legs muscles and improves conditioning without the risk of injury.
