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.
