Farmer Carries Are Great, But…..

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Before I even owned my gym I met up with some guys who were competitive strongmen. I was training out of my garage mostly, here and there going to the local tire yard for some tire flips..... It was Saturday and it was their day of training events. I remember getting destroyed with their 220 lb farmer walks and some of their guys jogged with the weight. I was fired up ​and got chatting with these guys about their programming and made my adjustments. At the time, my lower body … [Read more...]

Blending Calisthenics with Strongman, Powerlifting & Olympic Weightlifting

by Zach Even - Esh 11 Comments

My buddy and I used to hunt the area for the best playgrounds. We looked for parallel bars and pull up bars specifically. These were gems. Some schools removed their entire playground if one child fell and got injured. So this was not as easy to find as it sounds. The back of my truck usually had a sandbag, a few Kettlebells and maybe a sled or prowler. Those training sessions were powerful and effective. They were TOUGH. Now, being in my 40s, I find that more calisthenics and … [Read more...]
