  1. deadlift 1’’ deficit 135x3,185x3,225x3,275x3,315x3,365x3,405x3,455x1,500x1,405x5x3
  2. powertec squat 315x30

I didn’t have it in me to do multiple sets of powertec squats so I squeezed it all into one.

522

lookin" good stone man! nice deficits!!

523

I’m not familiar with a powertech squat? How does it compare with free weight squatting.

524


Not as difficult as regular squats but satisfies the bodybuilder in me.

525

Thanks Paul.

GV, I posted a picture on the previous page of the powertec squat.

Just ordered my Prowler. Can’t wait to get my ass kicked. If anyone has any prowler workouts they’d like to share that would be great.

1a. MP barx20.95x8,8 135x5,5 185x3,3 225x6 185x5x5
1b. bb rows 135x5,5 225x5,5 275x5,5,5 225x6x7

Then my oldest and I dragged the sled for almost a mile. We switched off when we got tired. There are two big hills on the walk that really made things interesting.

531

that front squat looked super easy

nice work

ps you are going to have to build a shed for all your lawn training toys

532

The Powertec contraption looks like a monster device and a lot of fun.

533

Kevin, I was thinking I’ll have to get something out there to store all this stuff.

GV, I’ve found it helps to fill my need for squats. Almost as good as the real thing.

534

5/27

deadlifts 135x3,185x3,225x3,275x3,315x3,365x8x3
powertec squats 315x5x12
calf raise 1 set
t-bar swings 1 set

I wanted to do more calf raises and swings but I’d had it after the last set of squats. I dropped the deadlift weight and went for speed and volume.

1a. bench barx20,95x8,135x5,185x5,225x5,275x5,315x5x6,225x10
1b. chin ups BW x 55 total reps then 1 set high rep pulldowns

My prowler will hopefully arrive in a week. Try to get this old man in some kind of respectable shape.

536

55 total chin ups…that qualifies as in shape in my book… Nice work Steve and the front squat vid was way too easy!

Thanks Paul. I’ve only shown that fat guys can do chin-ups too. I need to get in great shape like you.

538

6/2

  1. 5 rounds:
    20 sledgehammer swings
    10 jumps
  2. 10 tire flips
  3. stone lifts

This was the bulk of my workout but I ran a little, did some push ups and some other little things between sets. I was planning on working out in the basement but it was too nice outside.

539

I like your training. Simple, focused, but with lots of variety.
