Mix Up Your Training Environment

Mix Up Your Training Environment Sometimes training in new place can force you to use new tools and try different techniques. Today, after training 5 x 5 Deadlift, Chin-Up and OH Press I threw together a small circuit as a finisher. I commonly do a Swing/Squat/Farmer Carry/Push-Up circuit at home but today I switched out Farmer Carry for Sloshball Carry because, well I don’t have Sloshball back home. I’m glad I did. What an awesome training tool! I like the sloshball because it provides a great core training stimulus without the increased systemic load that comes with carrying huge weights. This can be a great training tool especially if you are training older adults or clients with history of back pain who might not be a great fit for heavier carrying variations. It’s always a win if we can increase the training effect while simultaneously decreasing the systemic load. I completed this circuit for as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. KB Swing + Goblet Squat: 5 + 5 (32kg) Sloshball Carry (I have no idea how much this weighed) : 40 yards Push-Up: 15 @kev_in_carr @sanchise387 @collectmomentsnotthingz @bodybyboyle #dosomethingeveryday
