Mark Felix shares some of the conditioning workouts he does to supplement his Strongman event training.
He and his coach came up with some creative combinations, like
- Stone Carry
- Stone Throw + Yoke Walk (Throw rock over yoke, carry yoke to where rock landed)
- 100kg Rubber Mat Drag
- 110kg Bag Catch and Press
- 110kg Bar Roll Side to Side
Over at Sudgen Barbell Terry Hollands comments:
Each to their own and all that but I’m not sure the logic behind doing such long dragged out sets when you never work for long periods like that in contest well if you have to you’re not winning the event. Maybe i’ll be proved wrong come end of January at the fitexpo though

Strongman events are anaerobic, training for long periods makes it an aerobic exercise. IMO it’s better to work at 60 secs at maximum effort rather than 3-4mins at 70%
Mark on the other hand says:
my recovery is so much quicker with my high intensity workouts lasting a lot longer, making use of strongman equipment combined with reps and cardio has improved my fitness tenfold
Thanks to Adam for submitting.
