  • Barrel Lifting

  • Barrel LiftingBarrel LiftingLifting Barrels and Kegs has long been a Oldtime strongman Tradition since it builds a unique kind of strength -- especially is the barrel is only partially filled...

    If water (or beer) is sloshing around inside the barrel, it becomes a "live" weight, and a tremendous test of strength -- and it takes a lot less weight than you think.

    A partially-filled barrel weighing as little as fifty pounds can give you a tremendous workout.

    Suggested barrel lifting exercises include:

  • Curls
  • Overhead Pressing (shown)
  • Shouldering
  • Bear Hugs
  • Carrying
  • Throwing (steel keg only!)
