Strongman preparation at the UIUC ARC on August 1, 2026. This session moved through a 145-pound clean to push press, Ground Base Jammer Triple Extension Drives, single dumbbell-to-shoulder work through 90 pounds, farmer’s carries with 110s and 120s, and Zercher carries through 195 pounds. The exercises were different, but the purpose was the same: develop strength that can be repeated, controlled, and carried into future strongman events. I am documenting the long progression from Novice toward Open strongman—one honest training session at a time. Check out my full journey on FERRAXISWORKS.com Discipline. Power.
