"Roshi's Training" Workout

This should be fun! Just don't die.

ROSHI’S TRAINING

MASTER LEVEL

Farmer’s Walk 150 lbs/hand 5x50 yards
Sprints 8x50 yards
Swim 1/4 Mile

A note on the exercises:
  • The poundages listed are not set in stone. It would probably be best if you could find some big rock to carry for each of these, seeing as how rocks are awkward and training with them will make you really strong. If you can't get big rocks, a flat on which sodas are delivered on with some weights piled on it will do nicely.
  • For the Front Carry: The weight or rock can be carried arms extended downward, with just your fingers holding on or by hugging the implement or tucking it into the crux of your elbows.
  • When swinging the sledgehammer, always swing at something. This can be a tire or a big piece of wood.
  • The Wheelbarrow Push can be done uphill or on flat ground.
  • Be very careful when lifting heavy weights overhead. If you think you are going to drop it mid-stride, let it fall behind you and keep moving forward quickly.
  • For the Farmer's Walk, 5 Gallon buckets or dumbbell may be used. Also, strongman style farmer's walk apparatus is acceptable and probably better for the heavier weights.
  • Rest for as long as you need to in between sets and exercises, but ideally you should be working up to having just 1 Minute of rest in between sets.
  • For the swim, make sure to go as hard as you can, although you'll probably be pretty tired from the rest of the workout.
Good luck and train hard!

HI! It´s very interesting, and i´m not making any SPAM.

but I´m a little confused...
where does roshi´s training start?
i mean where is the beginner list.

and these "levels", for example i´m doing lvl. 1...
i´m to do it every day???
that´s impossible, the muscles would become smaller!!!

Of course you aren't supposed to do it every day! Every other day is fine, but you may need to do it only two times a week at first, especially if you're a beginner. Aside from that, this is just a guideline! It's not written in stone. Take it and tweak it however you need.
