Keg lifting 160 lbs.

[kungfujellybean]

I cringed at the end , dude! Did you ruin your rack?

[HHH396]

@kungfujellybean No I just needed to tighten the bolts on it.

[dlemanczyk]

Great work! Ever try letting the keg come back down to your upper chest and then generating the momentum through your body? I see you doing that and instantly becoming more explosive with keg presses.

[HHH396]

Thanks man! No I haven't tried that.I'm not sure if I have the flexibility in my shoulders to get the keg to rest on my chest.

[mmaguy2008]

Good song and good job on the keg lift. I do a lot of kettlebells, stones, tire flips, etc. but I have not worked out with a keg. Are they expensive? Do you just get em at the liquour store?

[HHH396]

Thanks man! Yeah they should be able to sell you an empty one at the store or you can search for one on ebay.

[runescapegamea]

love the song

[HHH396]

Yeah i love it too! A lot of people don't like it but they don't know good music when they hear it.

[haydencantact]

Can do the Clean & Jerk or Snatch?

[HHH396]

Do u mean with the keg?

[haydencantact]

With a anything. I learned the powerlifts without any formal training, but I wouldn't try the Olympic lifts without professional supervision. There's only one place in London that does as far as I'm aware and I'm torn between starting that and MMA/Boxing with some friends. My part time job won't pay for both. Any that's neither here nor there. Yeah, I suppose I was asking if you could do the C & J and Snatch in general.

[HHH396]

I've done very little of both.My best clean is 260 lbs..but that is with absolutely no training on the lift.I always thought if I trained the clean I could get 3 plates on it.

[BIGDADDYJOHNSON27]

DAMN GOOD SONG

AND LIFT

[HHH396]

Thanks bigdaddy!

[adillion2]

very good press ,did u win contests there?

[HHH396]

Thanks man! No contest,I was just messing around in my back yard.

[Jerichosquink]

You really made that keg look easily, but yeah I can only imagine how the balance must feel, you have some great strength all around when it comes to pressing things overhead, nice music, and nice bloopers ;)

keep pressing the big weights man.

[HHH396]

Thanks alot Jared I appreciate that.Pressing movements have always been my strength.I've had to work at my pulling movements though.

[Jerichosquink]

Yeah the olympics will be on soon man, we should see how much weight your weight class can clean and jerk, maybe that could be you someday :P

[HHH396]

ha ha no way those dudes are putting 500 lbs over there head....those guys are on another planet stength wise from me! Thanks though buddy!

[Jerichosquink]

I think the world reocrd in the super heavy class isn;t even over 600, 585-570 I think, so in the 220 or 198 class they still may be in the high or low 400s.

[HHH396]

You know who would be good for that type of lifting is...Dario.

[Jerichosquink]

yeah he would, he can almost do 200 with one hand :P, I believe he might be able to outdo his amount on that then his 440 bench press.

[Greg2162]

I shops ebay, maybe they will send that to canada, awesome man, 5 stars

[HHH396]

Greg with the muscle you've got...you would man handle it.Check your local liquor store they may sell you an empty one.

[fastandrea]

loved it! a real workman-like job with a difficult cumbersome object! the music was perfect to go with it!

[HHH396]

Thanks ..yeah I'm going to be using the keg alot more now and start using the log also.I

[HHH396]

I'm also getting another keg and filling it with sand to 200 lbs.

[A550RGY]

It's fun to see you lift something unusual like a keg, but I have no frame of how heavy it is because I've never lifted a keg.

I love '80s music! Although this is one of the lesser songs from the era, it's still a welcome change from most people's video music. Maybe you could throw in some "I love Rock n Roll" or "Whip it"?

[HHH396]

The keg is hard because it wants to roll out of your hands and the water makes it hard to balance...it's not easy.

Yeah I love the 70's and the 80's stuff.I'm gonna do some different soundtracks....thanks for the response!

[A550RGY]

The water makes it way harder. Read an article on a making an 8 ft long PVC pole, capped at both ends, and filled with water. The thing weighed only about 50 pounds, but because of all the sloshing, it required great strength to stabilize and lift it. Which I guess should should promote a more well-rounded, toughened muscle structure.

The 80s are my favorite period for music, but my favorites wouldn't be appropriate for lifting videos (like The Cure, Morrissey) so I didn't recommend those.

[HHH396]

Actaully I wasn't thinking....I believe this was from the 90's.

[HHH396]

No it was 80's

[JohnSmith2012]

Strong press!!

I like this exercise! Where did you get kegs?

Nice soundtrack!

[HHH396]

Thanks John...I got the keg empty on e bay and I filled it full of water.

[HHH396]

Hey your the first to say you like the soundtrack,cool.I'm going to be doing some off beat soundtracks from the 70's and 80's in future videos...people are either gonna love'em or hate'em!

[creatine1]

pretty cool mark,,i never tried that kind of lift before,,looks fun

[HHH396]

Thanks Dan,yeah it's one of the standard strong man lifts.The weight of the keg isn't a problem,it's the awkward feel of it and the fact that water is splashing around inside.You wouldn't have a problem with it as strong as u are.....you should get one and try it.

[HHH396]

Thanks Alex...yeah I was beat from a tough work week so my push pressing wasn't there maybe in a couple weeks.

[JustinsOtherAcc]

...beast

[JustinsOtherAcc]

ever thought of joining a strong man competition?

[HHH396]

Thanks Justin..strongman usually has alot of lower back movements like stones and deadlifting and I don't have the best lower back.I'm good at pressing movements like keg,stone press,log press and such....you never know though....maybe:)

[dario2004]

very nice Mark its very easy for you, great show of strength and form, yeah the keg is not easy that for sure cause its so big and awkward, 5 star

[HHH396]

Thanks Dario,yes awkward is the word...it's a fun lift though.
