trying new exercises

[rks1969]

So what kind of different exercises have you guys /girls tried ??
I've recently added "the farmers walk" that I've seen so many times on The MetRx strongest man competitions. Not really moving impressive weights yet- I use 85lb dbells in each hand for 4-25yd. carries w/o straps. This is only my
2nd week with this movement. Goal = 150lb dbells(largest in gym) x 4-6 25yd carries or 1 continuous 100yd carry. When I get to my goal I'll have heavier apparatus' made & see how far I can go.

All comments welcomed & appreciated.

If you have the mobility for it, Overhead Squats.

Ive got an article stickied in training with a tonne of exercise variations in it if you fancy trying something else new.

Try pikes with the fitness ball. They rock the core. Also, side bends, clean and jerks, one armed over-head DB press.

Burpees, squats with pull ups.

what is a good distance to work for with this exercise? I can't remember how far they go on the strongest man shows.

I used to do 5MTR "reps" and just increase the weight. Usually did 3 sets of 4 reps = 20MTR sets.

You either increase the weight, or the distance, or the number of sets or...

Me too. I really felt the burn in my shoulders.
