So, Hannibal and I bought a new wheel barrow today...

If any of you use one for increasing GPP or for active recovery, I'd like to hear about the ways you've come up with for using it (other than the obvious pushing or pulling it around).

I'm thinking backwards, up a hill, in a deep seated squat stance would have to suck. In a good way, of course.

what type of wheel barrow?
we used to have this old brick layers one. Using planks of wood you could have weights hanging over the sides.......you really have to use your grip to stop it toppling over, it might not be possible if its a "garden" one.

It's a big steel 6 cubic foot one. Nice and deep. I can probably stack several 45's in it with plenty of room to spare.

I've been meaning to test out my wheelbarrow, rather than using DBs for farmers walks (bit sub-standard)... Thanks for reminding me!

Hmm... Limited space around my pool. Hopefully I don't end up tipping over and falling in

Interesting how some poeple "think outside the squar" when it comes to training. I like it!

Well, we only have one sled, so I thought we could do some speed intervals where maybe we drag hard, then push the WB, then rest....there are three of us, so someone can be going all the time that way...greater GPP.

can you come clean up our lawn?

Heehee...I'm doing my lawn tomorrow before our training breakfast. I call it cardio.

I know where I can find 45lbs...that isn't black and shaped like a wheel.

Ain't it funny how there's all this new fangled equipment in gyms. You walk into just about any commercial gym and they're all filled with such high tech gadgetry for the body beautiful.

But many others are now using wheelbarrows, tires, sledgehammers; anything else you can find in a barn or garage, for their training. Dinosaur training in it's finest. And having so much more fun.

There ain't no reason anymore for anyone NOT to train. For anybody that says "I don't have money for the gym", you can just reply with, "well, what do you have in your garage?"
