Recent Workouts!! Got a New Tire for flipping and sledgehammer training!!

Hope everyone had a great Easter and didn't snack to much on the chocolate. If you did I hope it was Dark Chocolate bieng that it is better for you. Anyways I was able to get in a few good sessions of training before the weekend came. And I started right back up afterwards with a new toy. I got my first tractor tire!! It's not too big but good enough to get a good workout with. I am hoping to get a larger tire soon. This one weighs about 175 to 200lbs. Its fun either way and makes training a bit more interesting. Here are the workouts!!

Ropes Gone Wild/ Battling Rope!!

Today I receive my first set of ropes. I recently purchased a 40' x 1.5" rope and an Outlaw 6' x 1.5" rope. I will be incorporating these new tools into my workout. I have seen a few videos on Youtube and on the Art of Strength website. This looks like it will not only be taxing on the body but fun as well. With all the other tools I have a vailable to me I should be able to get a great circuit in like never before. I will get back on hopefully later today to let everyone know how it goes.

Kettlebells and Rope training!!!
