    It’s no coincidence that carrying heavy loads is It’s no coincidence that carrying heavy loads is one of the key events in modern strongman competitions—and it stands at the very roots of strength training and so-called progressive overload. 

The legend of Milo of Croton says that as a form of strength training, he started by carrying a small calf on his shoulders. The next day, he did the same. And the next day… and the next.

The calf grew heavier, Milo grew stronger. After four years of carrying the calf back and forth, Milo could easily lift and carry a heavy bull on his shoulders.

Modern science tells us that, unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work that way, but the message is clear: adding more weight is essential for getting stronger, and—carrying heavy loads is one of the best exercises out there.

“[W]hen we train our lifts more than our carries, when we train our patterns more than our postures, we forget this vital  fact: postural stabilizer endurance should far surpass the prime mover endurance.

The ability to maintain integrity under load is more important than the ability to lift load, and it is fundamental for proper movement of load. Carries train the brakes—your control, whereas lifts train your engine—your power.”

    Old-school kettlebell snatch, Imperial-style Thi Old-school kettlebell snatch, Imperial-style 

This is one of the old-school kettlebell snatch variations from my Imperial Program Minimum—a snatch-and-bent-press program you can do with a kettlebell, dumbbell, or barbell. Different tools call for slightly different variations of the lifts.

Kettlebell snatch variations I teach: 

• Swing-to-split snatch
• Split snatch
• Dead split snatch

These were among the most popular kettlebell snatch variations of the old-time strongmen—Eugene Sandow, Arthur Saxon, Władysław Pytlasiński, Hermann Görner, and others: low-rep, HEAVY.

The film Fight Club premiered exactly 26 years ago.

Like the original novel, it remains one of the defining works of the turn of the millennium.

Its sequel was released as a comic book.

    “Do sets of 10 reps on the minute for as long as “Do sets of 10 reps on the minute for as long as you can maintain maximum power. On the surface it seems like the rest is very generous, but remember that we are after power, not ‘burn.’

Do your swings three times a week, varying the volume. On Friday, do as many perfect sets as you can safely. On the following Monday, do 75 percent of Friday’s number and on Wednesday 50 percent. For example: If on Friday you managed 20 sets, do 15 sets on Monday and 10 on Wednesday.“
