As some of you know already, I have my Crossfit Level 1 training certificate. (Insert your jokes here) I stopped training at my local gym as of last December 31 due to work and continued disagreements with the gym owner's business Philosophy. The wife and I decided to slowly get equipment for the house and it's coming along nicely.
We have the basic stuff, a bench, squat rack, his/her bars, a ghd. Wall balls, kettlebells... we decided to start backing off on heavier weights as a general rule and only have 300 lbs worth of plates. If we decide to go heavy, we just go to a friends house and bum off of his stuff.
Now, I've said all of that say this. One of my favorite pieces of equipment we have now is a 275 lbs tractor tire. I've got a few holes drilled in so we can add a handle/grip and do farmer carries and shrugs. But tonight, we each did basic tire flips. In 45 minutes time we each flipped it 160 times. Now that's no speed record, but it's fun to me.
Anybody else here have "unorthodox" things that you use to workout with?? Give me some ideas.
