Good sessions mate. Especially the one handed deads, I know how brutal they can be on your grip.

time to change my routine, the workouts are getting too long. My plan is to train 4 times per week in stead of 3 times. This will allow me to shorten my workouts and focus more on the strongman exercises and dinosaur lifts like lifting barrels and sandbags. I will implement them also in the weekly trainings. Here is what I had in mind:

A
Squat variation
deadlift variation
Grip


B
shoulders
Bench press
back exercises
abs

C
Deadlift variation
Squat variation
grip

D
BP bench press
shoulders
back exercise
abs

mo, wed, thur (a,b,c,d,...)

sa: event

feel free to comment (please guys who are involved with powerlifting or strongman not bodybuilding)

tomorrow will be my last workout before my new routine will start.

Congratulations on your PB.
I use a very similar routine as you described, and I like it very much. Maybe I'll starting logging my training next month, when I'll star my new cycle.
