Strongman Keg Toss

A keg swung from between the legs and thrown up and back over the head in one hip-driven heave, the way strongman kegs are tossed over a bar.

How to do it

Setup

Keg on the floor between the feet, feet wide, squatting to grip its handles, back flat, open space behind.

Steps

  1. Swing the keg back between the legs with a flat back.
  2. Drive the hips through and throw it up and back over the head with straight arms.
  3. Let go at the top of the swing and turn to see where it lands.

Common mistakes

Throwing with the arms: the hips send the keg; the arms only guide it. Releasing too early so the keg drops close by: let go only at the top of the swing. Tossing with people or objects behind: clear the landing zone first.

Breathing

Sharp exhale on the throw.
