Training twice a day

Training twice in one day is a great way to sneak in extra volume. If you try to do too many things in the gym at once, your workout can become a gong show.

Instead, focus on one objective, like getting stronger, then if you want to work on another objective, like getting bigger, do some volume work later that day.

Personally I like to heavy lifting early in the day, then higher reps or conditioning in the evening. This way the stressfull training is taken care of early and then the evening session is more relaxed and fun.

And no, you won't overtrain, whatever that is, just be sure to eat a lot of meat and get a good nights sleep.

Here are the workouts I did today, as an example of training twice in one day:

AM, strongman practice
  • Mobility Work
  • Zercher Squats
    • deadlift off the ground, then rest the bar on the knees, then cradle and squat up
    • worked up to 345lbs
  • Atlas Stones
    • 270lbs x 5, attempting to shoulder
    • 300lbs x 1, 270lbs x 1, 300lbs x 1, 275lbs x 1, 300lbs x 1, 275lbs x 1, 300lbs x 1, 270lbs x 1, 300lbs x 1

I have show this video before, but I posted it again because the lifter demonstrates how to do zerchers from the ground. This is great if you are training at home and don't have a squat rack yet.



PM, Kettlebell using a 32kg bell
  • Swings
    • 10 x 20
  • Halo
    • 3 x 5
  • Rows
    • 4 x 10-15
  • Clean and Jerk
    • 4 x 6-10
