Elliott Hulse "Grow Stronger" Inspired Workout 7/30/12


As football camp approaches on August 14th, I've really been amping up the frequency of my heavy barbell lifting in addition to the bodyweight training an odd object lifting I always do.  Today I cranked out a workout inspired by Elliott Hulse's "Grow Stronger Method."  It's a simple template that can be customized and changed to fit anyone's strength needs or goals.  Here was my take on this template:






1)Heavy Barbell Lift--Back Squat
--Using Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 Method (Google it)
--Week 2--Warmup, 1x3 at 260 pounds
               --1x3 at 295 pounds
               --1x5 at 335 pounds

2)Conditioning--5 Round Circuits, minimal rest, high intensity
   A) Offset Carries--130 pound sandbag shoulder carry, 70 pound kettlebell carry (one each side)
   B) Single Arm 70 pound kettlebell rows--10 each side
   C) Band Resisted Pushups--10

3) Gymnastics Training--10-15 minutes
    --Front and back lever progressions and practice on my gymnastics rings
