Yeah thats what I meant.

I don't have a problem with complexes or combo lifts, as long as there is a decent amount of weight being thrown around.

Tire flips, sandbags, strongman medleys these would be great conditioning.

And towel pullups can be difficult but compared to strongman grip training, not even close.
