Starting light on the squats early in the new year, got a plan for undulating progression to ratchet this up over the next few months.

Light farmer’s walks will be an optional add-on as a finisher on any day when I have a little extra time.

One disclaimer I feel like I want to staple to every “strongman” workout I’ll do this spring - I’m starting with weights that may seem quite light for someone my size and strength on barbell movements…as noted before, really just want to get my body moving and used to the movements before I start really pushing weight on the events. I don’t want to get injured because my muscles told me I could do farmers’ walks with 200+ per hand but my joints weren’t ready for that yet. So look for the progression on these to be slow for the first few cycles, that’s done on purpose.

This is a simple session - nothing out of my ordinary routine - but I just wanted to log that it went really well and I think I’m getting some results that I want from the early returns here. Just felt really good and solid all throughout.
