Hello Caveman Power,
Today marks the first day of my Caveman Power experience. I'm new to the diet, but I've done the circuit training off and on for a little while now, so the Caveman Power should flow well with me. I'd also like this thread to be my progress / log / tip receiving thread, if that's okay. About a week ago, I found this site and I thought that it was exactly what I have been looking for. I'm not going to go into detail on the diet, as I feel that it is pretty straightforward. But what I'd like to do is document my exercises and maybe even share some tips, if that is possible.
This afternoon, I plan on doing the circuit training. I've planned to do the following workout. I've named these exercises the best I could, and they could probably use some correcting, if you guys wouldn't mind. My circuit training is a little bit different than most, and I will try to explain accordingly. Essentially, I perform what I call a stationary exercise then immediately transition to a mobile one, to go to the next stationary one.
- Box jumps (while holding plates, hop onto an object then back down) - 10# plates with 20 reps or hops - Power Toss (grab an object and squat. In one motion, I will come up, jump, and toss the object as far as possible) - 10# plate - Clean and Press (standard) - barbell set @ 65# with 10 reps - Fireman's Carry (place the barbell on my shoulders and walk) - barbell set @ 65# - Pushup Rows (or man-makers as referred to by Matt) - 2 dumbells @ 20# ea with 5 reps each side - Farmer's Carry (carry the dumbells) - 2 dumbells @ 20# ea - Overhead Squat and Press (hold the object just over my head and perform a squat, as the squat peaks, I press the object upwards) - 2 dumbells @ 20# ea with 10 reps - Drag Sled (pulling a rope loaded with weights) - 2 45# plates - Hammer (smacking a spare tire with a sledgehammer) - um, a sledgehammer and a tire with 10 reps each arm
These workouts are designed so that I can generally use the same equipment for the mobile exercise that I do with the stationary one. After one circuit is complete, I will rest for a couple of minutes, reset everything, then repeat. The stationary exercises will have set reps and I will attempt to complete the circuit as quickly as possible.
Tomorrow, I will try to document the workout with times. I will also notify you guys as to how my previous day went with the diet.
Wish me luck, Stone
