I wish more people had this attitude. I think it's kind of the dirty secret of the strength conditioning world that most of this stuff really isn't that complicated. Dont' get me wrong, I can ramble at great length about energy systems, proper loading parameters, macro and micro cycles etc... It doesn't change the basic fact that it really isn't that complicated to load up a barbell and lift it. It doesn't take much - besides a little discipline and motivation. Excellent!

Sometimes I worry that I am changing things up too much. On the other hand, I am just training to be fit and strong generally, not for any specific sport or exercise. So in a way it doesn't matter what I do so long as it's a decent exercise and I work hard! I’m the same. Sometimes I worry that I am changing things up too much.

I think that's where the inspiration for the O course came from. That and the fact that I am a big fan of variety in training. I need something to keep me from getting bored quickly.

I do a few log thorws, carry one of them around the house while running and then do the whole circuit again in reverse. Starting with the carry, stopping to do some throws and so on. It's not perfect, but it's a good workout. Sorry for the long post! lol I have a ladder at the start, some cones set up to run around, a climbing rope tied to a tree, an old
