  • Oldtime Strongman Lift: The Muscle Out

    • The "Muscle Out" is an oldtime lift where a heavy weight is held at arms length to the front or to the side.

    Doing 50-60 pounds is impressive; many of the oldtime strongmen worked their way up to holding 80-90 pounds in this manner.

    Kettlebells were often used for this lift, as were 56 pound ring weights, as demonstrated on the right by a young Thomas Inch.    		Thomas Inch The Muscle OutThomas Inch
