Headed over to Jack Lovett's "Spartan Performance" gym in Consett, Co Durham. Jack has unique and traditional equipment that will not be found anywhere else in the North East. He put me through my paces with this old time strongman workout:

• Warm up with fat bar clean and press: sets of 5 up to 60kg.


• Strongman log (75kg) clean + 5 press: 3 sets


• Slosh Dumbbell clean + 10 press both sides.


• Partially filled keg (60kg) clean and press x5: 3 sets


• Farmers Walk pair 57kg dumbbells/Farmers Walk pair 35kg dumbells/Bear Hug keg Walk/Keg Duck Walk


• One min continuous squats at 80kg


• One min continuous suspended ring push ups
