    Hey Mitchell, open the end of the keg and add sand to the desired weight
    Brian Alsruhe has a great tutorial on how he makes his strongman kegs ("How To: Make a Keg for Strongman Training")
    The sand would also make it bounce less when it hits the ground
    Happy training and good luck for the 2024 World's Strongest Man !

    its actually going to be easier with the weight on the end as you will be building centrifugal force on the implement which helps it get into a "swing". try and get the weight into the center of it and it will be as difficult as possible.

    • @ManofLowMoralFiber
      @ManofLowMoralFiber Місяць тому +1

      The ones in the older competitions were usually loaded with shot or shingles, so the weight did rest in the bottom portion of the kegs. I don't know if the new kegs will be loaded the same way, though.

    ABS pipe. (Black pipe). 12’x3”diameter. Get 4, + 2 couplings, ABS glue, 2 ten gallon buckets, a bags of quick dry cement and a level. Home depot has a flat delivery fee $60 go to the pro-desk to order it.
    Place one pipe in the bucket, fill with half a bag cement add water mix it so all the cement is wet, use the level to make sure the pipe is straight. Let dry. Glue the second pup on top of that. Repeat.
    Now you have two free standing poles.

  • @sethpendergrass9255
    @sethpendergrass9255 Місяць тому

    Easiest way to make your stands work without going backwards is to get a piece of 3/4 pvc pipe, cut it to the width of your yolk uprights and run the rope through it.
    They’ll still be flaccid…uh, floppy, but it’ll give a straight line and keep the uprights the right distance apart.
    Also, it’s so encouraging to finally see something I’m better at than you. ( making a weight for height rig, not the throwing. You still got me there).

    There is a little spring wire holding in the sake keg valve. If you remove the spring, the valve will slip out, and you can add sand into the keg and make it heavier. You can buy a tool or I have done this with a needle nose pliers.
