This summer I have became majorly burnt out on hitting the gym. It's beautiful outside, and I'm sick of being in that same gym everyday. So to adhere to my directive as a Marine of 'Adapt and Overcome', I have devised a workout routine that has reinspired and reignited my training. And as the thread would allude, I don't have to leave my farm to do it.
For those who don't live on a farm, I'll explain what a grain auger is. It is a big tube with a pto-driven screw inside it that moves grain from a wagon up into a bin. It sits on a triangular steel frame that has proven *perfect* for isolating tris, bis, shoulders and back in any pull-up exercise you can think of. Furthermore, I can move myself 'up' the frame to get a wider spread of my arms to isolate different muscles, this training is KILLER and I am LOVING it. Also, doing hanging leg lifts twenty feet in the air is badass!
For other arm, shoulder and chest training I use a cinder block. You can curl it, and they are perfect for straight raises and hitting the shoulders and upper chest. I hope to work up to a tractor weight, they start at 100 lbs. and promise to be HIGHLY painful
To hit the outer shoulder caps, I do lateral and front raises with an old piece of 4X4 post that was sitting out there.
It goes to show that when the weather is nice, you don't have to look hard for training opportunities. I'll update you guys when I incorporate bull riding into this deal
