ez strength feb 2026

Making notes so I can review later. This round has been more difficult determining the hinge. I know what my weak point is, but attempts to coax it up are not working.

Ez strength
Kb press - left arm only
Ring chinup
Hinge attempts
- sandbag dead
- landmine rdl
- stable rdl
- sumo dead next????
Hammer curl lol. Its been fun.
Carries
- keg
- kettlebells
- sandbag

Afterwards
Mobility
Neck nucleus overload

The issue with the hinge is my left hamstring mobility (i.e. the perpetual injured side). Where my right side gets full extension and contraction, my left side i can't get shit for range. Going to talk through with my trainer today. Might be better off working mobility for the ham and back and using easy deadlifts for the hinge.

wife training: sandbags and bodyweight

Day1: balanced
Warm up
10min sandbag curl to squat
10min ring pushups and sandbag rows
Cool down

Rest 1-2 days

Day2: thrusters and carries
Warm up
10min stable single leg rdl, ring row, sandbag clean and press
10min sandbag carry (on shoulder or bear hug) to grass and back.
Cool down

Rest 1-2 days

Day3: all bodyweight
Warm up
20min circuit
- Bulgarian split squats on bench 
- Ring pullups with feet on bench
- Hand over hand on sandbag
Cool down 

Rest 2-3 days

How to progress
Each week pick one of the following per workout.
- add 1min to work time (each interval if multiple 10min sets).
- add 1 rep per mini set on a movement.
- (last resort) add weight

Example progression
Adding 1min
10min --> 11min 1 curl and 3 sandbag squats
10min --> 11min 2 ring pushups and 3 sandbag rows

Adding 1 rep
10min 1 curl and 3-->4 sandbag squats
10min 2-->3 ring pushups and 3-->4 sandbag rows

Adding weight
10min 1 curl and 3 sandbag squats with 25lbs-->50lbs
10min 2 ring pushups (high) --> 2 ring pushups (low) and 3 sandbag rows 25lbs-->50lbs

Ideally, all other progression models are used first over 6-8 weeks. Take a few days off, then start to work in higher weight sets. Less is better than more.
