The Predictable Unpredicatable
It is quite obvious that water inside a steel keg can move around (slosh). This action by the water, when the keg is moved, creates a preditacle yet unpredictable experience. You will be fully prepared for the water to move then you wil handle it well until momentary muscular fatigue settles in. Only the truly mentally stern can hold function together until moments of absolute physical failure. A prime example of this could be a 100 pound keg carry. The keg weighs 30 pounds of solid steel. 70 pounds of it will be live during movement. Carry the keg as far as you can KEG CONDITIONING style. During the exercise you will learn a lot about yourself and who you can become as an individual. Self-reflection is a bigtime motivating factor for anyone. You will feel a great sense of pride after this type of workout with a predictable yet unpredictable implement.

Results don't happen overnight!
It takes years to get the type of results that make others think somethings up with you. This much is true and it takes a special person just to be consistent. Don't make excuses, there's never a perfect time to start, just start training. Modify your diet to include your needs and exlude your wants. Within days you will feel much better and over time you will wish you started sooner. Results don't happen overnight.
You think I just picked up a 110 pound empty full keg one day and started slinging it around without years of training prior? No way Jose! Like I said, it took years and countless training hours to get to that point (full keg training). Let me tell you something about full keg training and it applies to all training in general.
A mans strength is relative to the implement he trains with.

Full Keg Power Press
After years of using the KEG CONDITIONING course, instead of 1/2 steel kegs, I use full wooden/steel kegs. They are much larger and harder to handle but I am also much stronger. As the man grows, so does his implement for improvement. Have you started your journey yet? What are you waiting for? There will never be a "right time" to start anything. Take action, visit my site and buy the course.

Full Keg Power Press
Yesterday as one of my hardest working clients was finishing his session the prospect of the full keg power press came onto the scene. Although strictly a conversation piece it had to become a reality on the spot. Knowing full well that I never attempted I knew I was ready for it. I felt the strength in my mind before I attempted it. Sure enough, I grabbed the barrel, picked it up, cheat curled it, and then blasted out a pair of power presses.
This story demonstrates how a man can start training with an empty keg that weighs 30pounds and progress up to a 110 full keg barrel using the same exercises. The full keg is much larger not to mention more difficult to handle. The full keg in itself holds a series of progressions before it can even be used for an exercise.
First, you must have the fingertip and wrist strength to hold onto it for a lift. Your postural strength during the lift off the ground must be optimal or injury will be the result. This keg is much bigger all around which decreases your leverage advantage over it. Once you are able to pick it up and stand up with it, you now have to effective generate momentum to roll it up your chest. The most difficult part here is when the keg rolls back down. You MUST keep your legs bent (flexed) to absorb any impact. A big safety key is to keep perfect posture and resist the roll down with your body. Always have the full keg in contact with your body.
Stay tuned for some awesome full keg power press videos. The power press exercise is an explosive standing shove and retract motion. The participant can only press what he has the ability to resist. Using this exercise promotes balance. It all begins with the empty 30 pound keg. Just imagine how far you could take it!

What is the right kind of hard training?
Lots of people say they train hard but what is the right way to go about it?
The answer is the type of training that makes a person go beyond the physical task itself in order to test the mental conditioning. This is the path to developing incredible inner strength.
Those that have a "Chest Day" at the gym filled with lord knows how many exercises should by my recommendation simply pick one exercise then use a keg to do it for five minutes. After 30 seconds of the exercise, you will realize that actual work beyond what you know as work must be done. This is the beginning of inner strength.
