Pick a day for each during the week. Then set aside a day for some heavy strongman stuff and a day for some speedy strongman stuff to refine technique. It's pretty much my new routine. Now when I say squatting, don't do the same squat each week. Rotate it. Front squat, high bar, zercher, with chains, with bands etc. Same as deadlifting; coventional, sumo, deficit, RDL, SLDL, trap bar. Pressing would be OHP, push press, Savickas press, pin press, DB, incline. Go heavy on those lifts each week with triples. Then for assistance drop weight to 60/70% and do a 5/3/1+ set. 5 reps. Then 3. Then go all out for a PR. Choices are endless mate but that's how I set up these days. | ||

 Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Make a 160kg hussefel stone. Walk around with it as munch as possible. It has a way of calling out the beast in you! Bend nails at work when no one is looking. | ||
