I had something bad to eat this week and it has been plaguing me for the last 3 days! I couldn't make it to Van's workout today with Brian and company, so I did what I could at home. I focused on hands and shoulders:
1750 total shoulder reps
1,500 with cords and 250 with kettlebells
200 total reps on the Captains of Crush trainer
6 minutes per hand palming a 6 lb medicine ball
450 total reps of abs
A bunch of stretching
I also worked in some cardio to keep pace with my weekly goal.
Not much of a strongman workout, but it keeps my shoulders healthy, and hands are critical to everything I do. Cardio has pros and cons as I feel it makes me lose weight and strength, but without sufficient cardio, you can't succeed at strongman. There is a balance in all of this that I'm still trying to figure out, and I am getting better, so even if I haven't found the apex of strongman training routines, I think I'm doing pretty well!
I got some interesting instruction from some old 80's videos of Kazmaier training that I found on Youtube. I'm looking forward to implementing his triceps routine in hopes of getting a better log press here soon!
With that, thanks for reading!
