STRONGMAN WORKOUT

Tuesday 7 April

Warming Up

2 RFQ:

  • 5/5 Samson Stretches
  • 10 Slow Squats (3″ down) with OH Reaches at bottom (alternating arms is easier)
  • 5 Walkouts with Push Up

 

Strength – Front Squat / Push Up Waves

2 min Squats / 1 min 5-15 Push Ups

  • 5 Front Squats @ 75%
  • 3 Front Squats @ 82.5%
  • 1 Front Squat @ 87.5%
  • 5 Front Squats @ 77.5%
  • 3 Front Squats @ 85%
  • 1 Front Squat @ 90%

 

*Flow: Set a timer for every 2 & 1 min. 2 min interval: 5 front squats, 1 min interval: 5-15 push ups, 2 min interval: 3 front squats, 1 min interval: 5-15 push ups. Choose a number of push ups so that the final 2-3 reps feel like RPE 8-9. Stick with the same number for all 6 sets, even if that means breaking them up at some point. If you don’t know your percentages, aim to work close to failure and just make sure the second set of 5, 3 and 1 is heavier than the first.

*Today’s long grind is meant to be challenging on volume/intensity alone. So choose movements and weights that enable you to keep working at 70-75% intensity without getting stuck on technique or weight. Only choose TTB & Snatches if you can comfortably string together 15 reps when fresh. No leg raises today.
