Loaded-carrying contexts
Weighted strength-development

3m 8s
THE WHAT:
Lifting a heavy load, and walking. Two fundamental facts of life which, at first glance, can seem of insufficient intensity to compare to the likes of a 'Back squat' or 'Deadlift' - but there is a reason why forms of loaded-carrying are a staple of all 'Strongman' events.
The load can be near-maximal for the given distance/time walked, with the weak-link being not so much optimal form & execution as in heavy squat & hinge patterns, but, more immediately, raw GRIP-strength. This is specifically developed in the 'plate'-carrying contexts which require a grip resembling that of the climber's 'pinch'.

Overhead (OH) Dumbbell (DB) pressing
THE WHAT:
Basic unilateral (1-arm) and bilateral (2-arm) overhead-pushing contexts performed with dumbbell/s. Rather than main projects of capacity-development practice to themselves, they are ideally used as AUXILIARY tools supporting the development of more intense & neurologically-demanding ov... -
Overhead (OH) Kettlebell (KB) pressing
THE WHAT & HOW:
Basic unilateral (1-arm) and bilateral (2-arm) overhead-pushing contexts performed with kettlebell/s. The distinct difference here compared with dumbbell variations is the fundamental kettlebell-grip and its position, i.e. to the BACK of the arm (other than the 'Bottom-up kettlebe... -
Weighted chinup & dips
THE WHAT & HOW:
Developing the 'raw-strength' of fundamental vertical-pushing & pulling by adding an external load. These contexts are valuable for those who, having ALREADY developed their fundamental bodyweight 'Chinup' and 'Dip' to an easily attainable 5x 5 level (5 reps of 5 repetitions, on b...
