The best thing about the internet is you can have contact with people who under normal circumstances you would never meet. You can connect with like minded people-And you do know what they say about strength in numbers?
I asked a question this week-and i got back several answers. Rick Walker was kind enough to drop in and give me a great program, i took it for a ride this afternoon.
Cleans 5×5 ( i used KBs, i like the impact they provide so double 24kgs, 28kgs, 32 kgs and 40kgs for sets of 5)
Deadlift 3×3 with trap bar, 2×10 with BB loaded with 35′s, 3×3 on trap bar and 1 set of 20 with Axle
Over head press with KBs 5×5
Full contact Twist-worked up to 85lbs X 12, i love this drill
Axle curl 4 sets of 5
and Neck harness work
Great work out, took me 1 hour 10 minutes to get through it all. The schedule he provided still allows room for work on the specific strongman feats i am building on, and keeping the others where they are at
So–when you have a problem, ASK!

Excellent advice.
Awesome, man. How do you like that neck harness? I had some credit through our schools equipment provider and I decided to pick one up. I’ve never used one before. What type of set/rep scheme do you prefer?
The rep/set scheme for the deads and squats are every week, not in the same day. Week 1 do the 3×5, thn week 2 the 2×10, week 3 3×3, and week 4 1×20, then back to 3×5 again.
Glad you liked it. Hit it hard and heavy, move fast between sets and exercises, and be completely exhausted when you are done.
Keep it up-
