I’ve been working myself towards doing a 20:00 density lift every morning, and after doing some weighted bridge reps inside I had an epiphany, “there’s a bunch of lifts I have access to and never do/never do anymore”.
Yard Lifts I Don’t (And Could) Do :
Weighted Wrestler’s Bridge- as pullovers into pressing, as pullovers for reps, as a pullover into bridge for reps
Zercher Good Mornings – the flimsy stands do have a safety catch, I have used them in the past for light zercher gms
Curls – just get easy sets of 5, add weight until you’re easily curling 5s x 135+, and good for 8+ x 165
Reverse Curls – probably better overall than curls, basically the same goals which means doing those numbers here really shoots curls for the girls into the stratosphere
Bent Row – dude, once a week on a day off, meaningfully do a bunch of triples getting into the low 300s
Power Snatch – yeah, maybe having pressed 225+ it’s time to bring the snatch PR from 205 to 225+, plus you’d get some vertical improving this
Overhead Squatting – I don’t do this much anymore, generally being lazy about stripping the bar, and out of practice for reps with “heavy” bar weights, which means I’ll power snatch a heavyish single into a low rep heavyish overhead squat(s) with a weight I’ve overhead squatted for ~
15 or 20 in the past
Clean & Press Every Rep Style – doing so once every tenth day is probably due, I’ve been using it as a metric of some sort or other…cough, conditioning, cough…
50/20 Snatch Grip Deadlift – we’ve even included the protocol in the exercise name!
50/20 or 75/20 or 100/20 Fat Gripz SLDL – dude, you loved 50 reps for time on axle deadlifts before, the fat grips are similar enough – you have them, and sldl is all the rage right now
Snatch Grip SLDL – more range of motion
Jerry Rigged Pulling From Toe Height – requires pair of cinder blocks to stand on, and two pairs of bricks to raise rubber patio tiles
Mixed Grip Deadlifts – going heavy, fat gripz or not, I do have plates to 500lbs
Front Squats – probably high rep considering stands
Overhead Squats – probably for the rep range not discussed above (yes I wrote it twice – they’re awesome)
Hey dude, the supersetting everything (mostly) with deep knee bends is fantastic…
Weighted Deep Knee Bends – I would amrap better here than with regular back squats
50 Rep Squat/AMRAPs To ∞ – yeah yeah yyeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!!, an amazing useable strength and athleticism builder, get to ~80%+ bw and see
(50×195 at 225 before getting bored with the protocol at 18yo, I felt phenomenal walking around, and was good for anything physical you could throw at me – it’s strength AND conditioning in a few minutes anywhere from twice to seven times a week)
More Sets Of The “York Combo” – dude you can do more than one
One Arm Snatch – awesome, but measure and mark the center as the bar isn’t knurled (or get knurling tools and do the same while making it knurled)
One Arm Presses – similar to oas above, but less cool, while more german
Turkish Get Up – how long to 135? lol close
Windmills – they suck, but would genuinely be a builder of real world strength
Barbell Punches – you’ve probably seen former soviet amateur boxers do this with an empty bar
Landmine Twists (without the landmine base) – I’ve loved this in the past, though never ran with it to ∞, sets minutes long with as much plate in there as you can handle = build strong core, throw shot put far
Hack Squats – could mean the deadlift variation or the strangeness and oddity that is the hack lift as hack himself wrote of and advised
Good Mornings – possible, but probably for high reps, I used to do an amrap over 20 reps with 185 as a work capacity thing after squatting for low reps
Shrugs – possible, but meh with the current setup, as I don’t have the unrack height (possible bypass via cinder blocks), but more obviously NOT ENOUGH WEIGHT, if I was to do so it’d be very high rep strapped or not as an experiment
Karwoski Shrugs – shrug into an upright row to the belly button, with a thumbs free grip, a bit better an idea with this setup than shrugs honestly
