Odd object lifting is great!
Here are some great ideas for putting together some serious conditioning workouts in your backyard:
- Tire / Sled Drags – You can run backward and forwards; you can use your legs, arms, back, or chest to pull.
- Tire Flips – Use large heavy tires.
- Tire Throws – Use smaller tires. You can throw the tires forward or toss them over your head like a strongman keg toss.
- Sledgehammer – Pick a heavy one and hit the tire with it.
- Tire Jumps – Jump over the tire, jump into the tire, jump through the tire… be creative and just jump.
- Various Shoulder Exercises – Press and rotate various objects above, behind, and in front of your head.
That is a very limited list of the things you can do in your backyard, but gives you some great ideas to start with. Variations of these ideas can be seen in the two demonstrational videos below.
Here is a video of some dude who put together a great conditioning routine for himself in his backyard using a couple tires and some basic exercise equipment.

Those were two great workout videos! Motivating!
real MMA training good stuff caveman training is a great conditioning workout.see my blog
Need to be able to state that I thought this is a highly very good write-up. I’ve truly forever liked Mma and it really is so good to see a fabulous weblog which takes Mixed martial arts to this level. I have recently began to be able to get in Mma training myself and also I am really wanting to end up with at least a tad reasonably competitive with the training. Not looking to move straight into the ring or anything like that just at this point! Any kind of ideas when it comes to exactly what I should be doing to achieve well. Anyway, pleaqse do go on with the superb work for this internet site and also the fine reports.
Is this a spam comment? Take bbj and muay thai classes to get better at MMA I guess.
I come from a Bodybuilding background, but have been training in MMA for the last 5 months, and my tutor emphasizes alot of high intensity sledgehammer / tire flipping and backyard stuff, really ghetto, but its helped my stamina a ton and i think it helps the stabilizer muscles more more than say strict weight training / conditioning workouts.
