Im a 39 year old business owner, husband and father that has pursued strength since the middle of high school. I remember the first time I put wagon wheels (the 45’s) on the bar for back squats, and later on (after my Bodyweight moved above 155lbs, when I did reps of 135lbs on the bench.
I’ve been in the personal training field since 2000. I feel like I’ve been able to play with, experience, and learn from a broad variety of training modalities in the last two decades.
A short list:
College and semi-pro soccer
Track
Olympic weightlifting
Power lifting
Body building
Boxing
Wrestling
CrossFit
Obstacle Course racing
Kettlebell sport
I’ve tried all of the above with specific training plans to improve performance. I certainly have my favorites, and can ascertain what works best for me.
The goal of my next 3 months will be:
Continue to lower my resting HR and recovery HR as I improve my cardiovascular base for the Fall TSC snatch event. (I’d like to make that event as aerobic as possible).
Maintain my standard of Simple and Sinister at my half Bodyweight Bell (40kg) so that after the fall TSC I’m able to purse the appropriate StrongEndurance plan to achieve Sinister.
Maintain my DL 1RM, 1 arm/1 leg push-up, and circa 20rep pull-up standard
I’d like to do this using an easy strength-like approach as this program has worked very well for me in the past, as well as keeps my interest to tinker with the principle of “same but different”.
My schedule starting May-Aug (Starting a specific TSC prep in Sept for 7 weeks) will be:
Sundays-open gym program - Heavy day (pushing on load, not volume)
Tues-Friday-Light and Medium days based on feel (I don’t coach this often with students, but can work for some).
Mon and Sat-off
Steady State HR training is outside of these sessions as a focus will be to improve cardiovascular performance (and health).
I call this “version” of easy strength
The Everyday Workhorse (my company is Workhorse Consulting)
Exercises:
Pull-up variations (grips, towel, rope climbs)
Deadlift variations (sumo/conventional, pins, deficits, SLDL)
Farmer Carry (rack carry, yoke carry, getup multiples)
10mins mobility training (T-spine extension and rotation)
Press (overhead variations and 1 arm push-up variations)
(Accessory work as needed-if time allows)
Must be done in under 40mins daily.
