  • Lifting Light Barrels

    • barrel liftingBarrel LiftingWith all this talk of heavy barrel lifting, it can be easy to get carried away with "weight" -- keep in mind though that lifing awkward objects is very different from lifting a barbell or a dumbbell.

    Training with "light" objects can often lead to tremendous results, since the awakwardness is what leads to the challenge.

    Even a partially-filled 10 gallon barrel, weighing 50 pounds or less, can give you an awesome workout since the weight is "live." Shouldering, carrying and even basic movements such as curls and presses are a whole new animal.

    Check out Dinosaur Training by Books Kubik for more on this concept.
