i like to fireman carry random cardio bunnies into the lifting area. The post-carry face-slap action really helps my 1RM

I'm going to have to try this sometime

Jefferson deadlifts, zercher squats/split squats, Turkish deadlifts, kettlebell bottoms up exercises ex. Snatches, various ladder/cone/bosu exercises (no one seems to use ladders/cones except the trainers & me), 1 arm barbell chest press on the swiss ball, 1 leg swiss ball pike to scorpion pushup, cable push/pull, rotational kettlebell swing..... Many of the exercises I do are outside the box....

I have a garage gym and its full of strongman equipment.

I sometimes get odd looks doing weighted barbell thrusts, only ever seen one other person do them in the gym. I love them though, they're my favourite lift.

The weirdest thing I do are ghetto glute raises or natural hammy raises- natural glute raises- whatever- no one does those. and supported over head extensions (arnold was big on them) they are one of my favs- only like 1-2 other people do them.

I just had to look up dimel- was un aware of those- I might need to do those. me likey.

I got to a pretty big meat head gym- and some of them do some really odd things- so barbel thrusts aren't that out there- which is nice.
No one would really bat an eye at oly lifts as we have a whole room set up with bumper plates- and any sort of real HIIT Kettle bell work might get peoples attention- but again- not really "weird"

I am pretty standard- I don't try to make it harder than it needs to be-

deficit deadlifts....not really weird, but never see anyone else doing them!

thanks to whoever suggested Dimel deadlifts - had never heard of them before, but looked them up and tried them today and loved them!
