Thanks mike, I think I just need to hammer core strength, focusing on obliques and twisting movements. These are easily forgotten

Friday quick conditioning
Did not feel too great today, think I was dehydrated and stressed so took it kinda light

Warm ups
Rolling, mobility drills etc

Ladder work
Random agility drills on ladder, short rest
Total about 20 minutes

5 sprints x 20 yards

1 giant set of ladder, every drill I could think of for one time through with out stopping
Brutal

That is it, strongman tomorrow

Saturday strongman
Today was a little rough, need to practice yoke more. I went to the gym and did yoke then came home for farmers. Think I should switch the order of this

Yoke
-about 40 ft each
180 x 2
250 x 2
380 x 2
580 x 1 too heavy, killed my back
380 x 3

Farmers walk
-about 60 ft each
160 each hand x 2
210 x 2
250 x 1
Took too much time between events got distracted

The real work today was moving the weights haha. Had to carry 100 pound plates upstairs at the gym then had to carry all my weights outside for farmers. Brutal

Felt pretty good, once the weather gets nicer I will make some stones and hopefully buy my own yoke

Sunday light bodybuilding
I like doing this on Sunday just a little extra pressing and arm work. I think once I start doing stones on Saturdays, this day will be more limited. But I figure I do not do any upper body until Wednesday so why not

Klokov press
95 x 8
115 x 2 x 6
95 x 10

Bb curls
45 x 20
65 x 15
95 x 3 x 8

Pushdowns
Unsure of weight x 5 sets x 10-20 reps

Lateral raises
5 sets x 8 reps

This only took about 35 minutes, it is nice to start your day with a good pump up session. Max squats tomorrow

Thanks steve, I think the cube is a great option for overall strength.

I really look forward to my training sessions

Monday me squats
Did not go too great today, got some serious pain in my back when the weights got heavy. I am thinking of avoiding back squats for a bit. Going towards making front squats my primary movement.

Squats
145 x 2 x 5
235 x 3, 2
325 x 2 singles
375 x 1 some pain
415 x 1 pain
This did not feel good, was high because it hurt. I think I also get out of my groove when it gets heavy. I at least will switch to more of an Olympic style squat

Front squats
145 x 2 x 5
195 x 3 x 3
These felt pretty good, need to get used to them and the weight will move up quickly

Band hip work
5 sets x 20 reps

Reverse hyper
3 x 10-15

My back is being weird, it only hurts at certain angles. I did strongman with minimal discomfort and then today on squats it kills me. Not sure what to do, may have to become a front squat specialist and see if that works.

If nothing else I may have to take some serious time off. Not going to get too extreme yet.

Tuesday straight line speed
Got home late from work, ughh. Whatever, such is life

Hill sprints
5 x 40 yards

Sprints
5 x about 75 yards

Abs
Decline sit ups, side bends

Legs felt heavy today, and felt slow. So I decided to lengthen out a bit and really struggle. Good conditioning though
