For those of you who follow the Athletics section, you'll know I've started training for Scottish Heavy Athletics after a break of a few years.
Well, I've been taking pictures so that I can look at my technique and make corrections. And I sta with a few of them on my screen today before deciding to post them for a bit of fun!
First, boxing in my shed. It's a good form of cardio and endurance. Great to do before or after lifting.
My punchbag is made from a chicken-feed sack and stuffed with straw.
Next come the tuck jumps. I basically jump up and down onto a raised bench. (About 2 feet high.)
Then there's the sack run. (As suggested by Highlander31)
It's a cat food sack filled with rocks till it weighed 45.5 lbs.
I run back and forth and up and down my three stairs with it until I simply can't hold on anymore.
Then comes THE LOG. This is basically a 7' long fence post with handholds chiseled into it. With a 10lbs weight fixed on there it comes to 32lbs. SO I can use it for shoulder presses and other overhead training...
...And I can use it to practice picking up, moving with and bailing a caber. (Since I have no truck nor money to arrange a real caber.)
Given time I hope to add more things to use. And even update with pictures of my throwing practice. (Braemar and free stone.)
What pictures do you all have?
