      Moose Strong - 5/3/1 + Strongman

      I am starting this journey as a continuation of my Project Stak log. Participating in the testing got me motivated again after having a bad checkup for my colonoscopy. It also got me motivated again to clean up my diet and to make sure that I don't make my UC worse.

      I am basing my program off of this article modifying it of course to fit what I am able to do:

      http://articles.elitefts.com/trainin...for-strongman/

      I have only so much strongman equipment available (compared to what the article uses) to me and the following list is what I have to work with right now:

      Tire (Tractor tire for 36” rim)
      Prowler 2
      Farmers walk handles x2 (Plate loadable and heavy propane tank ones)
      Keg (Water filled)
      Slosh pipe (10ft 4in diameter/partially water filled)
      18” Atlas stone mold (have not had chance to make one)
      240 lb Atlas Stone
      260ish lb Atlas Stone
      100ft. 1.5 inch thick manila rope (For battling and for pulling the sled)
      10" Metal Log (Ordered)

      I also have a 2” thick bar that I am able to leave at my local gym that I am going to use for all deadlifting, rows, overhead pressing, etc. I will be using it to do static holds at the end of each workout in order to strengthen my grip. Over the course of the remaining school year and this summer I plan on buying/making additional equipment. I have plans to make a platform, stone loading platform, make an axle, cambered squat bar, multiple atlas stones, sandbags, yoke, and more as money allows. I will try and make what I can but I have found a few decent places to buy equipment as needed.

      Will post workout and diet as the day goes on. I am always open to advice and suggestions. This summer it looks like I will have a few training partners then when I am back in Fayetteville I plan on starting a club and over two years work it into a gym.

      Here is the template that I have come up with for now. I am going to add in more assistance work on Days 3 & 5 as well as abs on all three days. I know already that I need to work in more lower back work as my lower back is usually dead after front squats. All my current gym has is a 45 degree back extension and that doesn't work for me (tried). I thought about getting a cambered squat bar and add in sets of squats with the bar and/or good mornings on other days. I also just got some atlas stones and will be working those in. I will probably start differentiating my strongman workouts by day but keep a few things constant.

      Day 1:
      Overhead press (thick bar)
      Chin ups
      Incline bench press
      Face pulls (w/ bands)
      Dips
      Bicep curls
      Static Holds/Deadlifts (Thick Bar)

      Day 2:
      Tire flips
      Farmers walk
      Sled pushes
      Sledge hammer hits

      Day 3:
      Rack Pull/Deadlift (thick bar)
      Hack Squat
      Good mornings
      Static Holds/Deadlifts (Thick Bar)

      Day 4:
      Tire flips
      Farmers walk
      Sled pushes
      Sledge hammer hits

      Day 5:
      Front squat
      Leg curls
      Leg press
      Static Holds/Deadlifts (Thick Bar)

      Day 6:
      Tire flips
      Farmers walk
      Sled pushes
      Sledge hammer hits

      Day One

      Thick Bar Overhead Press-170/5, 185/5, 195/5
      Incline Bench Press-180/5, 195/5, 205/7

      Notes
      -*Looped band around a machine handle three times to increase the tension. Really felt it in the rear delts and triceps.
      -Good day but off at the same time. Gym was really crowded so my order was all messed up and by the time I was able to get to and do my chins I was beat.
      -Wasn't able to do my static holds/shrugs/deadlifts today.

      -Day two was a sick day

      5/7/13-DAY SIX

      Front Squats-180/5, 195/5, 205/8, 225/2x1
      Leg Curls-170/5x6

      Notes
      -My lower back was killing me after the front squats and even laying down for the LC it was hurting. Not in a injury way but I think I found a good working point for front squats now.
      -Getting my 10" log in tomorrow. Wont be able to use it due to more testing training.
      -Need more lower back work. Goodmornings just don't seem to cut it. That or I am not doing them correctly. Time for some youtube training videos.

      WEEK 2 DAY ONE

      OHP (TB)-185/3, 195/3, 205/4
      Chin Ups-bw/8, 5, 5, 4, 2
      Incline BP-195/3, 205/3, 220/5
      Facepulls*-Light Band/4x15
      Dips-bw/9, 5, 5, 4, 1

      Notes
      -*Wrapped the light band (long) around three times in order to increase the tension.
      -Met my dad at Denny's 1pm for lunch down around Smithfield. Went to the gym about 1 hour 15 minutes after since it closes at 6pm and was probably not the best of ideas. While I did well with my main lifts my body-weight ones were shit. Maybe it was the extra weight in food. I usually wait about 2.5-3 hours after eating to workout since I usually will puke if I workout too quickly after food. But got in my workout and it was pretty good.
      -Got in my 10" metal log. Seeing if I can post of a link to my now pretty full storage unit of implements.

      Quick pic of my storage unit of implements. What is not pictured is my plate loadable farmers walks. The duffel bag has bench press boards from 1 to 5 boards. The keg is filled with water so who knows how much it weighs.

      Week 2 Day Three

      Day two (implements) had to be skipped due being unable to workout Friday.

      Rack Pull (TB)-345/3, 365/3, 390/4
      Shrugs (TB)-225/4x8, 275/6
      Hack Squats-450/2x8


      Notes
      -Ended early after some nasty knee pain on the hack squats. Even after two sets there was pain throughout so I ended early to not injure myself. I think I need to reposition my feet on the hack squats but the foot pad is fairly narrow.
      -Implement day tomorrow. Tire flips, sled pushes, Farmers walk, and sledgehammer hits are scheduled. Maybe some cleans with the keg.

      Week 2 Day 5

      Front Squat-195/3, 205/3, 215/6
      -245/1, 265/1, 186/2x6+1x3
      Leg Curl-180/5x4
      BB Curl (TB)-135/3x6

      Notes
      -Decided to do extra sets of front squats instead of leg press. Front squat kill my legs plus my lower back gets stronger. I just don't feel leg press as much as anything else. Thinking about maybe doing front squats and then adding in a Boring But Big set of squats.
      -Thinking about changing up the leg curls next cycle for a 5/3/1 round of straight leg deadlifts. Leg curls is another exercise that even going heavy I just don't feel it working my hams as much.
      - Got really hungry for some reason towards the end of the workout and it really affected my energy for curls.
      -Finally be able to get in some implement work again.

      Week 3 Day 1

      OHP (TB)-170/5, 195/3, 220/2
      Chin Ups*-bw/6,4,2,3,1
      Incline BP-180/5, 205/3, 230/4
      Facepulls-AVG band/4x15
      Shrugs (TB)-225/6x8, 275/3x4

      Notes
      -*Focused on full extension and going to a dead hang on chin ups. Also made sure to get my chin above the bar. Realized I was only really doing half reps previously on the chin ups by not going all the way down and all the way up.
      -Moving triceps and biceps work to a different day each. By the time I am done with the pressing movements both muscles are about dead and I want to be able to hit them as hard as I can.

      Farmers Walk-4x50 feet
      Sled Pushes-90/6x50 feet
      Sledgehammer Hits-20 hits per side x 5

      Notes
      -Looking for more plates online so I can do some heavy pushes. Also so I can attach my 100ft 1.5inch thick rope and do some pulls. Going to start to add in more of what I have like my slosh pipe as a finisher and my keg soon. Atlas stones will have to wait until I get a 10x20 storage unit and make some loading platforms.

      Week 3 Day 3

      Rack Pull (TB)-325/5, 365/3, 410/2
      Shrugs*-225/6x8, 375/3x6
      Hack Squats**-N/A

      Notes
      -*Shrugs were done with the safeties set at the same height as the rack pulls to add in some extra motion.
      -**Still was having pain on the hack squats. I physically could move the weight but my knees weren't taking it. I tried adjusting my stance and still pain. Lowered the weight some and was still feeling it. I think with the foot platform being so small I can't get my feet out far enough for me to be comfortable. They have a older one that used the shoulder pads that I am going to try next. If anything I will just start to add in high rep squats or leg presses.
      -Spent so much time trying to figure out my hack squats I had no energy left and was a bit frustrated. Dips will be added in on Tuesdays workout with biceps.
      -Other then the hack squats it was overall a good workout.
