THAT IS wHERE I uNlEASH my INNER
wARRIOR. I PuT DOwN THE BEER fOR A
STONE, AND NEvER lOOkED BAck
Facebook. He motivated me so much. A
great guy. NATURE! That is where I like
to be. That is where I unleash my inner
WARRIOR. I put down the beer for a
stone and never looked back.
As you get more conditioned you can
add a moderate incline! Remember
where the object is placed after the ½
mile lift, in Part 3 of this method
you will come back to it!
USE THE ElEMENTS!!
My training is simple, basic and mostly
full body workouts. Put me in a Planet
Fitness or Gold's Gym, I would not
even know what to do there. But give
me a stone and a log and I will give you
brutal training. Hellish heat, freezing
cold, rain, nothing holds me back. I am
out there to destroy the workout and
push my body hard, Everyday! One of
my workouts is pretty basic, and it
will test your strength and endurance.
It is called BEAR.
THE BEAR METHOD!
BEAR is played out at my park a few blocks
away. I do this 2 to 3 times a week. This is
one of my unconventional methods, and
man this will work you like crazy!
Paraphernalia
1) log 145#
2) 145# Carrying stone
3) 90# Throwing stone.
TECHNIqUE:
ODD OBJECT SHOUlDER CARRY
1) I shoulder carry the 90# stone
around the half-mile long pond to
wear me down a little, you can adapt by
finding flat terrain with loose holding
ground (this will add to the intensity)
THE lOg FlIP
2) My next venture (this is with no
rest after step 1); the log flip, end
over end.
Please note:
i) Squat position to lift.
ii) Explosive power to throw the
log up hard so it comes back to
your hands.
iii) Push that log with brute force
back to earth.
iv) Don’t just let it drop.
This log is flipped for 50 yards on a
downgrade, you can take a very
short break at the halfway mark if
you like but I would suggest battling
through it to get the best workout.
Remember where you have put the
log because you will come back to
this too in part 3.
VIOlENT THROW INTO DEADlIFT
3) Walk back to the 145# stone at the
start point.
i) Deadlift this with a violent lift
to the belly and carry it 50 yards
back to where you left the log, drop
it gently when you reach it.
ii) Go back to the 90# throw stone.
Oh yes, this is just brute strength!
Squat down to grab the stone,
throw it up to the shoulder, then
press overhead.
iii) From the overhead position
launch that stone as far as you can.
Just remember, the farther you
throw it, the less times you have to
pick it up.
iv) The throws are for 50 yards down
to the log and boulder.
