Had a great workout tonight! Got out of work a little early today, so I was able to get my workout in a little sooner then normal. Always do much better when it’s not 9pm before I get a workout in.
Today was Upper Body Night:

Started with several sets of keg clean & press. Used the [...]

This week has been a crazy roller-coaster ride!
I have had a lot of different emotions running around in my head lately. This has definitely affected my training and caused me to do a lot of soul searching. Good news is I believe I finally have my head right and things are coming together. This week [...]

Not too much to report today as far as training goes. I have decided to have a deload week this week. After blasting my body for the last few months, and especially Saturday, it was time to concentrate on recovery a little more.
Up till today, I have not done any lifting this week. I mostly [...]

Today I headed up to Bob’s torture garage to lift. Bob has a lot of strongman equipment, so it helps me to work with the equipment and get my technique down before the big comp. Bob has helped me so much with my technique and just keeping me sane.
Every time I take the trip to [...]

One of the last times I posted, I told you that I was changing up my training for better recovery and hopefully to reach my goals quicker. Since that time I have had roughly 4 workouts. I have to say that I think this new program is going to work great, I just wish I [...]

So I have been doing my current training program for several weeks and overall have felt like I have had some great workouts. Unfortunately, I have also noticed that my recovery is not up to par and I have been starting to have less energy/strength for my workouts.
Now this is not all from my program, [...]

I thought today instead of just recapping everything I did in my workout, I would give you a short video of me having fun carrying the Keg. In the video I carry a 160# keg for 120 feet, with turns every 30 feet. I could go a little faster then I am, but I picked [...]

This has been one of the most intense weeks of training that I have had in a while. Earlier this week I posted about Monday’s training session with Bob. Today I will fill ya in on the rest of my week.
Besides Monday, I trained Wednesday and Saturday. These workouts are so taxing to my system, [...]

So Monday I traveled up to Bob Wanamaker’s place to train with some of the strongman implements that I don’t currently have. For me this was going to be a big test to see close I was to the competition requirements. I am not going to lie, I was a little nervous, was afraid I [...]

Lately besides doing strongman exercises, I have been incorporating more unilateral training into my workouts. Unilateral work is great for correcting weaknesses. If you think about it, you move your body using unilateral movements more often then you do with bilateral movements. So why wouldn’t train that way?
Here is a video I shot using unilateral [...]
