Since it is my first Father’s Day – and Happy Father’s Day to all the real dads out there – I was inspired to add a few lifts that my 6 month old son Logan has taught me.

I can dead lift over 500 lbs, but picking up a 25 lb squirming baby in a car seat with one hand and walking around a store is brutal!!!! That’s real world strength right there.

So even though we can”t use odd objects, I did include suitcase dead lifts (like picking up my son Logan’s car seat) and something a little more crazy – a straight bar farmer’s walk (like carrying a squirming baby in the seat!) If you don’t hold a straight bar tight enough it will flop right out of your hand.

My younger brother Pat, not a father, figured that out in a hurry as the bar dipped on him! The key is to squeeze with your entire hand…HARD!

Reasoning: I firmly believe that off season conditioning goes WITH weight training, not in place of it. Therefore, I don’t make conditioning the entire workout. This complex would go after a proper weight training session and take 15-20 minutes at most to complete.
