Strongman Marathon Training Week 2

Welcome to week 2 of the Strongman/Marathon Training Program.

In week 2, weights go up and reps go down. Mileage will also increase by about 10-15%. You will feel this more than you did the previous week.

Alternatives

Farmer's Walk:

Dumbbell Farmer's Walk: Hold a heavy dumbbell in each hand and walk for a designated distance.

Suitcase Carry: Similar to Farmer's Walk, but carrying a heavy weight in only one hand, which increases the demand on the core muscles for stabilization.

Tire Flips:

Sled Pushes or Drags: Mimics the pushing/pulling motion of tire flips and engages similar muscle groups, especially the legs, back, and core.

Sandbag Cleans: Lift a sandbag from the ground to the shoulder in a clean motion, then return it to the ground. This exercise targets the legs, back, and shoulders.

Log Press:

Barbell Push Press or Military Press: Utilizes a barbell instead of a log but still targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper back.

Dumbbell Shoulder Press: Similar to barbell press but allows for a greater range of motion and unilateral training.

Atlas Stone Lifts:

Sandbag Lifts: Lift a heavy sandbag from the ground to the shoulder, mimicking the motion of Atlas Stone lifts.

Keg Lifts: Lift a heavy keg from the ground to the shoulder, providing a similar challenge to Atlas Stone lifts and engaging the same muscle groups.
