Pull, Press, Squat

Disclaimer: Please consult a doctor before starting any training program. Or in this case, you may need a doctor AFTER starting it. Either way, a doctor will be involved at some point I’m pretty sure.

The basic outline of the Pull-Press-Squat or PPS method came from the early stages my strongman training. My training partners and I knew that all strongman contest events involved some kind of pressing, some kind of pulling, and lots of leg strength. We also liked to train at a higher volume and wanted to squat, pull, and press more than just once a week. So we started doing workouts that involved some form of a press, pull, and squat in EACH training session three times a week. The other days would usually be filled in with either event training, plyo, or skill work. We are not just talking about bench presses, deadlifts, and back squats exclusively, but many various exercises cycled in and out as you will see. Again, it’s never the science behind a training method, it always comes down to the effort that YOU put into it.

I like it Swede. I did something very similar pre-March this year. Working full body variations 3-4 times a week.

I remember your training from then. I like it too, whenever I change things up I tend to end up back at fullbody after a while.
