35 (Basic Strongman)

Lower Day

Squats

Pause for one second. Work up to 3RM over seven sets.

  1. 135x10
  2. 185x5
  3. 225x3
  4. 275x3
  5. 315x3
  6. 335x3
  7. 345x3 Felt like I perhaps could’ve gone heavier, but didn’t want to get too ambitious. This is a PR anyway since I’ve never really tried paused squats before.

2" Deficit Deadlift

Touch’n’go. Work up to a 5RM over five sets.

  1. 135x5
  2. 225x5
  3. 275x5
  4. 315x5
  5. Skipped final set. Previous set felt like a max. Deficit deadlifts are weird. They feel very weak right now.
