We call this keg shoveling b/c we explode the keg over our shoulder as if we were shoveling, those of you in the colder states know what this looks like :)

This is great for developing rotational strength and full body strength.

It's a full body movement, starting each rep from the ground or from just above the ground.

Alternate shoulders on every rep.

You can use a mini keg or a regular sized keg depending on your individual strength level as well as the weight of the keg.

The smaller keg is great for younger athletes and the size also allows for easier maneuvering over the shoulder.

Every week add a few lbs/ of water until the keg is filled up, or, add a few lbs each time the movement becomes too easy for the athlete.
