  2. pushdowns and curls
    3a. 2 board bench: 135x3 185x3 225x3 275x3 315x3

My son farmer carried 700 lbs for a few steps tonight. Push pressed 315x4 the other night. He’s getting pretty strong.

If you watch the meet preparation Youtube videos on Martins Licis’s channel, he is very technical and gives great tips on strongman stuff.

He now has an app (Apple only now, Android later) for $12.99/month with his training program. I daresay that’s a bargain for aspiring strongmen.

SSB is simply too comfortable to seem like a workout. Squats w/o holding onto the bar!!!

Still jealous of your yoke bar.
