Diesel Odd Object Training: Keg Lifting Basics
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010Keg Lifting Basics
Keg Lifting is a very fun and rewarding form of training. Like Sandbags, Atlas Stones, and Logs, Kegs are considered odd objects.
What are Odd Objects
Odd objects are training tools whose center of gravity is unpredictable, often lying out away from the athlete. Odd objects often have considerable bulk and gripping and controlling them is one of the primary challenges of lifting them. While bars and dumbbells have a concise and predictable shape and center of gravity, odd objects force the athlete to react to the dynamic and unpredictable size, shape, and center of gravity of the object.

Thursday, May 28th, 2009Watch as Eli works on the mighty Diesel sand keg.
Weighing a mighty 230 pounds plus, and filled with sand, dirt, tools, nails and other refuse, it has never been pressed overhead.
Also watch as Eli takes a staggered grip on the keg and locks it out for multiple reps, and claiming them as legitimate, then talking smack about it.
A true travesty of justice in the world of strength…
