3 WAYS TO ADD STRONGMAN TRAINING INTO YOUR WORKOUT You can actually integrate some classic strongman exercises into your own workouts, even if you don't have special equipment. In fact, even if you're just at your regular gym, you can benefit from strongman training with these classic moves: 1. HERCULES HOLD But you don't need to pull a Phil Pfister to try this at home. In fact, all you need is a cable crossover machine. Attach handles to the bottom pulleys and lift them straight out from your sides. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds. Do two or three sets. 2. FARMER’S CARRY Fortunately, you don't need steel beams to practice this at home. Pick up a set of heavy dumbbells or kettlebells—watch your knees!—set aside a section of the gym where you can walk unimpeded, and do a few laps. This exercise will seriously challenge not only your legs but also your works your core, grip, and traps. Do two to three sets of 30 to 60 seconds each. 3. STRONGMAN DEADLIFT Deadlifts have always been a staple of powerlifting and strongman competitions—no surprise there. But one interesting wrinkle of the 2009 WSM competition was the Car Deadlift, which challenged competitors to deadlift Mitsubishis with wheelbarrow-style grips, rather than the traditional barbell grip. Start with a relatively light load to get accustomed to the proper form, and then work your way up to a challenging weight as you would in a traditional deadlift workout program. #crossnizer #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #fitness #exerciseequipment #bodybuilding #training #WORKOUT #STRONGMAN #HERCULESHOLD #FARMERSCARRY #STRONGMANDEADLIFT #deadlift #workoutprogram
