Primary Strength Exercises and WHY

These are my primary strength exercises for the moment as they are serving me well.
There are assistant exercises as well but these are the main drivers in my program currently.

I need to learn how to do this

[@unknownstrongman]

Awesome video Laird

[@KirkWeatherby]

Solid program! I've typically done mostly metcon based training but this last year I've been adding in a lot more strength training as well. It's been making a big difference and you have a role in that, so thank you! Keep the videos coming! Hopefully you're starting to build up a bigger audience and client base to help you on your journey!
And the beard trim and hair cut looks great too!
Stay strong brother! Keep up the good work!💪🏼

Mate glad to hear that this helps you out. Yeah trying to really grow the channel now - at the stage where it's a good business idea to start taking it seriously

[@BlueLineGroovy]

You are such a motivator. Looking great !!

[@LairdRoss]

Thank you very much mate appreciated

[@zacharyweightliftingwilson7227]

Great work man.. love your videos

[@LairdRoss]

Thanks mate. Trying to make more of them and more consistently

[@user-dn4lg1dv5v]

I don't have a stone I can squat with, so I'm gonna use the monster sandbag. Hearing all the benefits you get from that movement, I got to include it again.

[@LairdRoss]

Yeah it will make a big difference mate

[@codybarton1746]

1000% looking better trimmed up my guy
thnaks for the tips, love your vids

[@LairdRoss]

Thanks mate appreciated

[@deanfraser419]

Thanx for this vids.. im busy starting strength traning and didn't have a program and saw this come up today and it looks short and sweet but effective so thanx for that mate 👍
One more thing.. what do you do for your lower and mid traps? Wouldn't they go a long way for upper body strength for scapula on the bench? Thanx..

[@LairdRoss]

The stone squats mate hit it hard and so does the one arm press - they have to work hard from a stabilizing point of view

[@deanfraser419]

@@LairdRoss thanx loads man I appreciate you getting back to me 👍..

[@deanfraser419]

Hi, i just wanted to know when you train deadlift cause you mentioned it in this video but didnt train it. Am i missing something or do you do deadlifts the week after this one because of CNS recuperation?

[@LairdRoss]

In a comp prep I train it mate.

[@PixxlerTAS]

💪🐻

[@Anonymousdeletedaccount...]

do you think i can use my sandbags to substitute the stones completely? i only have sand bags at my home gym

[@LairdRoss]

It will work to a vast extent mate

[@kobemop]

Who's this handsome fella?

[@LairdRoss]

That is what the Mrs said as well. She was in a bit of shock with the new change

[@unknownstrongman]

Howd the kiddos react to the new beard? When mine were young, it scared the hell out of em haha. Fir a few minutes anyway

[@LairdRoss]

Yeah they were very unsure mate

[@alexpunch3ll0]

Whoa dude never would have thought you were gonna cut it off! Whats your boy think about it?

[@LairdRoss]

Yeah everyone seems to like it more short

[@alexpunch3ll0]

@@LairdRossi agree. Dare i say it makes you look more jacked

[@PullsPressesCarries]

Beard looks much better short

[@LairdRoss]

Thanks mate, many have said that

[@jcdy]

stone squats and zercher squats looks quite similar....

[@LairdRoss]

They are similar but the stoen squats pull you forward a lot more.

[@ForzaTerra89]

You do look a lot better with the haircut and beard cut

[@LairdRoss]

Thanks mate appreciated

[@codyaims]

[@Balmung5150]

Dude you look your actual age now lol

[@LairdRoss]
