Things That BWE Types Often Over Look!!!

[onelasttime]

I will kep this short and to the point. Things like odd object lifting,barrel lifting,stone lifting,sand bag training,levers like vvarious sized slede hammers, chopping wood as an intergrated portion of a workout not the lesiurely pace that most of use take when we have a lot of wood to chop etc....... Can all be intergrated with traditional body weight training and not count as weight training......

One summer as a teenager I did not get my normal trainig time in the gym.THat summer I was lucky to get to the gym 2 days a week. That year I swung a pick and worked on a road crew tearing up and redoing cobble stone roads. Inspite of the greatly reduced weight training I still made great gains from the hard work. Years latter in College I did construction labor to pay for my wedding.....THat summer all my lifts where cut in 1/2 due to physical exhaustion after each work day. In spite of that reduced gym work I was stronger then ever.

So do not fail to include all manner of work. By compression of rest periods and by pickingup the pace something mundane can give great results. In H.S. I would often load the truck to take to the salvage yard by myself and do it explosively. SInce I was an Automotive APrentice I could explosively load a weeks worth of engine blocks,brolen crankshafts and other heavy parts as an odd object workout. Tossing engine's around has no real counter part in weight lifting or walking witha heavy stone pressed over head etc.......

Even if you are oppossed to weights real objects represent real life fully functional movment......Bailing hay for instance can be a great workout......Just think outside the box and if you have kids volanter them to work for farmers and the like over the Summer Break.
