One of the main purposes of this site is to regularly publish the Workout Of the Day (WOD). These WOD’s will be published every other day, since it is my experience that this schedule will provide an optimal balance between work and recovery. Of course, you are perfectly free to use the information in the WOD’s to create your own workout schedule, based on your personal needs and preferences – but my basic recommendation is that every other day is an optimal frequency for most folks.
Most WOD’s will be relatively short and intense – at least compared to modern day bodybuilding routines – but don’t let the brevity fool you. If performed seriously and with the right attitude, these training sessions will constitute hard work, involving most muscles in your body.
While the WOD’s will build upon the training philosophy and proven principles of the oldtime strongmen, we will also incorporate some modern day tools and exercises to help maximize our strength gains; remember that tools are just a means to an end. If Arthur Saxon or Eugen Sandow were alive and active today, I’d like to think that they would agree with me – the underlying principles are always more important than the actual tools.
If you have any questions regarding the WOD's, just shoot me an e-mail or use the comment function. (Note: posting of the WOD's will start next week).
