Strength Training and Conditioning for "The Skinny Guy"

I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.

Sunday 4.1.12

Warmup:
-Greg Amundson's CrossFit Warmup

Strength/Conditioning:
"Strongman Fran":
21-15-9 of:
-Atlas Stone Shoulder Squats @ 93#
-Weighted Pullups @ 25#
12:06.

The round of 21 was actually an atlas stone thruster, but I have severely limited flexibility going straight overhead with a stone, and I felt it was detrimental to the workout. The next two rounds, I shouldered the stone on one side, did as many squats as possible, and then switched sides until I finished out the round. I think in the interest of body balance, the next time I do this workout, I will do 21/15/9 on each side. Either way, smoked!
