Aims: - focus on overhead strength and pulling strength - lose some bodyfat - increase endurance and CV fitness - stay injury free! - have fun training Light cardio = rows, swimming etc Monday - rest or light cardio and/or light weights Tuesday - yoga - pullups and/or light cardio Wednesday - powerlifting - squat - bench - dead - opt: ab work generally 3 working sets each, but thyinking of doing half of the russian routine for bench: 6x2,3,4,5,6 x 112.5, 5x5x117.5, 4x4x122.5, 3x3x127.5 etc - f**king irritating 2.5s though! Thursday - rest or light cardio and/or pilates Friday - miscalaneous day - push press - other pushing work, shoulders or narrow grips - lat work, rows etc - rear delt, guns saturday - rest or light cardio and/or pilates sunday - strongman - event training, or: - rack pulls, GM, fron squat, platform deads, ab work etc etc any opinions? | ||

Good to see rowing mentioned - I think that's the number one cardio option for strongman training. It's a shame the Sugden rowers are a bit crap though - the air con sucks all the dust into the flywheels so the resistance is the same whatever number you have it on. | ||

 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Looks good, I'm not a great fan of you deadlifting more than once a week though. It didn't really work the last two months.. unless you go much lighter on one day. I don't think 180 was light enough for you to class as speed work and recover from for heavier stuff at the same time. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing the ripped up new look Joni Coleman at the end of 2007. | ||

I am thinking that the subday would just be rack lockouts and stuff, and the platform deads there if i go light on previous wednesday. Forgot to mention grip and no-neck, those are on sunday and maybe grip for tuesday as well. Also, will use the rolling thunder a bit more frequently. | ||

It's not as if they're not taxing. | ||
