Morning at Bldg 21

The way I'm going to train over the winter and how I'm going to prepare for Strongman events in 2025 is becoming clearer. I know how to train for Powerlifting. I've been doing it for years. Strongman is something entirely different. This morning I played with some of the toys at bldg 21.

Stationary Bike - 15 minutes.

Yoke - 2 sets/100ft x 2/200lbs (empty).
Prowler - 2 sets/100ft x 2/50lbs.
Suitcase Walk - 2 sets/100ft x 2/40lbs kettlebell.



To explain how training is becoming clearer. I can't do everything at once. Some exercises conflict with others. I only have so much time in a day. There are only 7 days in a week. Twice a day training is a great idea. Doing heavy lifting twice in a day is not a great idea. However, training like this morning is definetly a great idea.

"Mornings are for moving my feet"

Exercises like the following are a good example of what I'm talking about.

Yoke, prowler, farmers walk, sandbag carry, keg carry, harness pull, backwards pull, tire flip.

All of these require a decent amount of cardiovascular fitness to execute well. Morning is a great time to do these exercises.
