Urban Strongman

[the People's Champ]

I was just thinking towards the end of the year, I would like to incorporate some type of strongman training regimen in my routine. maybe a day of going out to some empty parking lot and pushing my truck around for a couple of sets, and bringing a bar and performing some cleans. since I have a truck, I will be able to haul some equipment the workout place, but I would like to keep it simple. I am just looking for some exercises that I could do that would strenghten the whole body. not looking to compete, but just good training fun. any suggestions?

this is directed to the man himself, B Fold, but everyone is welcome to comment.

What kind of equipment do you have to train with? Any ideas?

Do you have...say...$100 that you could spend on equpment to train with??? If so...you could have A LOT to play with...enough for a little fun anyway...

I would like to know what you got up your sleeve bfold, this sounds like a good amount of fun to be had. Please share what can 100 bucks get as far as toys?

500 pound tire (if feasable for you to store somewhere)=Free
Old car/truck tire (to be used for a dragging sled)=Free
2" Thick bar= around $40 or less
Few large rocks or slabs of wood= cheap or free if you can find them
Chain to hook to your sled or bumper of your truck to pull= $20 or less
Handle to pull sled or truck=$30 or so
2, 3' long pieces of schedule 80 steel pipe for farmers=$50 or so

That would give you lots to start with for now...

What about a beer keg for the sled?

Heck of an idea...you should either be able to get one for free or $20 or less... Easy to fill with water, sand, concrete, etc...

They are good to pack, clean and press, carry for distance, etc....
