CARRY AND DRAG

MAR. 31
Armwrestling practice in Oakville about an hour long.

Missed out on a lot of my sled and carrying cardio this week due to timing and the lifting getting more intense as well draining me.
So as it's one of the most important parts to the training I decided to make it up and hit both HARD!!! today.
First up, 20 min. of Tire Dragging around my backyard 200 lbs. approximate truck tire chained to a pull up/dip belt around my waist. Dragged backward and sideways on gravel.(Legs, hips, glutes, calves, cardio)
The uneven gravel sliding under my feet added some instability and balancing with sitting back and down and leaning backward with short, choppy steps to move the weight.

After a short rest.....

160 lbs. garden/yard stone carries across the backyard in laps. 30 min.(Legs, hips, glutes, calves, cardio, upper and lower back, stabilizers, arms, chest in hugging the stone close while carrying it and shoulders depending on the carrying position it was in.)
Wore a jacket to protect my arms from scraping but still managed to anyway.
Fingers cramped too after all the gripping and pinching to get a hold on the stone and controlling it while walking with its odd shape.

AS BASIC AND PRIMAL TRAINING AS YOU CAN GET!
