The Ultimate Brute-Force Real World He-Man Power Program?
I don’t think there is such a thing, but if there is then this program would be mighty close to it. I often think about how to construct a program that give you the biggest return from two or three simple exercises per workout in the least amount of time. A workout that would be good for people who don't care about looking pretty as much as working or fighting harder. A workout that applies all the way from the grip to every other part of your body that has anything to do with moving people or objects. A workout that makes sure all your strength isn't only one shot strength also.
Before you do this one, start with an empty keg to get the feel of it and then fill it to a weight you can do four reps with on alternating shoulders (two to each shoulder consecutively).
Shoulder the keg on alternating shoulders for as many as you can do in ten minutes, resting if you have to. Try and increase the number of reps as you can.
Do as many feet elevated pushups as you can such that your body is level at the top
When you can do about fifty reps in the ten minutes with the barrel 1/3 to 1/2 full and you can do 60 reps in the pushup then go on to:
Shoulder the keg on alternating shoulders for as many reps as you can do in twenty minutes trying over time to work up to 50 reps (25 to each shoulder) with a full keg (165#) in that twenty minutes.
Headstand pushups with soles of feet on the wall working up to 20 reps with your hands up on blocks and your head going all the way down between reps. Get up to the twenty first with your hands on the ground and then add thin plates, boards or blocks till your hands are touching your shoulders on the down.
You are now uno strong hombre, but not strong enough you say?! Well "butch up" yet further and do.....:
Barrel clean for as many reps as you can get in 20 min with a full barrel
Handstand pushups up on blocks with soles of feet up/legs straight; trying not to touch the wall any more than necessary for thirty reps
When you can do these things brace yourself, and then face...
Barrel Snatch/Swing (overhead in one move) working up to ten reps with water, shoulder the barrel or even Clean & press with barrel of sand (200# full), or wet sand (270#'s full). You are now a complete barrel tossin' mutant-monster who should be careful not to accidentally hurt others and thus may choose lifts for himself on that day.
Freestanding headstand pushups with no wall and hands up on blocks for as many reps as you can work up as high as you like, this is all gravy now.
It is not all this straight a climb up but by simply backing off a bit when you feel tired, taking a day off now and then or getting a little creative with your reps it can be done.
Do it outside if you can. If you are going to be a "he-man" you might as well get some sunshine while you're at it!
