Crazy Fitness - Strength Training Ideas


Just been over at Strongerman.com again. I find Bud Jeffries very intriguing!
Bud is massively strong but not only that, he is extremely fit.

Bud's words are 'If you want radical results you have to put out radical effort. You don’t have to climb the mountain every day, but you do have to climb it if you really want results.

That is so true, radical training means radicals results. Bud has lost over 100lb's recently and looks amazing.

I got quite a few 'Why in the hell would you want to do that' expressions when I started training for my Hammer Challenge for Charity. I did it because it was 'out of the norm' and believe it helped 'raise more money for charity' because it was unusual and not something everyone could do and was a little different to a Sponsored walk.

With this said, I'm looking for a new radical challenge for next year if anyone has any ideas?

So far I have come up with
3 hour sledgehammer striking (World Record is 2768 strikes) with a 14lb hammer
1 hour 24kg kettlebell snatching

Bud's 1000 sprawls is another example of radical (a sprawl being the same as a burpee or squat thrust)

This is inspiring stuff!
