I incorporate varied types of carries (stones too) in my training and its made a huge difference in my daily tasks that require holding and walking with awkward items, which happens often (moving furniture, dressers, handyman work around the house, digging, hauling items in the wheel barrel, and hauling bags of concrete). I definitely think the major lifts are essential, but I have to include carries as a must as well. Dan John is big on carries, and I have to agree. It's my go to for functional aerobic/anaerobic conditioning.

I know you already kind of answered this, but as some one that does hard heavy labor with anything from transformers, to pipes, to motors and heavy wrenches and spools of wire that can weigh a few hundred pounds, could strongman be more useful for making my job less physically demanding than general barbell training? I realise that training for events makes you better primarily at those events, but wouldn't strongman style training carry a higher degree of specificity to my job than barbell movements? And to go further down that rabbit hole, would strongman be more specific in general than barbell training for most peoples day to day lives? Its rare that we pick up perfectly balanced objects like barbells, but we do lift awkwardly shaped hard to grip cumbersome objects pretty regularly.

Strongman movements make great resistance cardio for powerlifters imo. Doing some farmer's walks is far more engaging than just walking on a treadmill. I love doing Viper Press as a HIIT exercise when I'm in training blocks far away from peaking.

Stongman conditioning is about the only kind of conditioning I will do. Treadmill or exercise bike are way too boring and tedious. Farmer's walks and Sandbag workout s have a much greater benefit you your body over sitting on a bike or a treadmill. While you may not lose muscle on a treadmill, you aren't really gaining anything either. Spending 45 minutes on a treadmill to burn calories that can be replaced with an extra slice of bread is the ultimate definition of a waste of time. You can burn more calories and still build strength doing farmers walks and sandbag conditioning work in less time than it takes you to fart around on a treadmill. Also, the effects of doing the strongman conditioning will continue to burn calories after you stop, where the effects of walking on a treadmill will pretty much stop the instant you step off the treadmill.

Burning calories isn't the only reason we do conditioning. Low intensity steady state conditioning offers benefits you don't get from doing strongman stuff. Farmer's walks and sandbag workouts are not effective for increasing strength in somebody who's already training effectively with barbells. However, doing farmer's walks and sandbag stuff will cut into your recovery, decreasing your ability to train effectively with barbells. If you don't care that it'll cut into your recovery and you think strongman stuff is fun, then have fun!

​​@@tharjaco 100% agree with those first 2 sentences. But ultimately the best way to improve aerobic capacity is to do conventional, boring LISS. Sandbags, farmers etc will not do that. There is a reason endurance why endurance athletes don't do farmers and sandbags to get conditioned. Even as a cross training tool.

@@BarbellMedicine Let me explain more. I am using a couple BBM templates (press strength and the GPPs) to structure my programming but I train strongman and more importantly, compete several times a year. One of the things I am running into with this approach is that some strongman events don't map well to traditional barbell movements. As an example, how do I program for the Max Log event in my upcoming contest? I initially replaced my "competition press" with the log press as might be suggested by the content in this video. However, this is not a one-to-one replacement from a fatigue management perspective since the log press requires a clean and involves a push-press or jerk movement. I ended up putting it on a different day to replace bench press instead and it seems to be working, but I came to this video hoping to get a better understanding of how these replacements would work. Alan seemed to start on this discussion but it was not expanded upon. As for the docs on the team, I respect your knowledge on powerlifting, strength and many other things (obviously, I bought your templates and love them), but the "sport" of strongman is certainly not something you are as knowledgeable in as Alan and I would have liked to hear more about programming from his perspective. Instead, strongman seemed to be approached from a "crossfitian" perspective where it is mostly used for conditioning work.
@BarbellMedicine
@BarbellMedicine 5 жыл бұрын
PunchMonkey I don’t know if I would expect more fatigue from all press as you suggest and I’d default to replacing them one to one without modification unless the test was significantly different. I may increase frequency depending on the actual test..hard to generalize, which is why we didn’t expand on it in the podcast. While I feel pretty comfortable programming for strongman comps, the vast majority of people implementing strongman work will never compete and thus it’s greatest benefit is likely conditioning in those populations.

I’m going to disagree with these guys on the whole strongman for conditioning thing. If planned properly with the proper exercise selection, reps sets weights etc, there is little difference between strongman conditioning and a rower. Also you have to keep your goal in mind, if your a powerlifter why do you need conditioning in the first place? Why are you trying to directly strength train and directly train your conditioning at the same time? If your goal is to be a well rounded athlete who is generally strong and conditioned like a decathlete or a hockey player, then you can afford to drop some deadlift volume and do farmers walks in a strongman conditioning circuit because they complement eachother better that deadlifting heavy than going for a run. If being a well rounded athlete is your goal the deadlift is a tool to train your energy systems not to increase your 1rm deadlift. ALL energy systems can be trained through resistance training so why overly diversify your training to include unimportant exercises that has no relation to your other training.
