Lower Back Traps Strength Keg Pull Compound Gym

Purpose: This exercise builds overall strength in the lower body.

Benefits: This exercise involves many other muscles.

Place the desired number of kegs the typical distance from the loading platform (usually 30-50 feet). Stand behind the first keg with your body relaxed. This is the starting position. Grab the close handle of the keg, tilting it onto its side so that you can grab the opposite edge of the keg. Lift the keg up to your chest. Exhale during this movement. Walk taking short, quick steps. Do not forget to breathe. Move to the platform as fast as possible. Load the keg onto the platform, extending through your hips, knees, and ankles so that you lift it as high as possible. Return to the starting position to retrieve the next keg. Repeat for the required number of kegs.

The muscles of the lower back straighten the spine. They work together with the abdominals to keep the spine upright. The Barbell Deadlift is considered to be the king of exercises. No other exercise will work your body so much.
