War Time Bench Press


I thought I’d share this photo from TIME magazine. A Canadian soldier sets up a make-shift bench press using a rod and barbed wire.

thats cool …inventive too

Awesome

Thats dedication right there.

Trouble is that barbell cost taxpayers $175,000 to make. lol

Adapt, Improvise, overcome.

that’s really neat.

Did they mention how much it weighed?

ROFL.

good one.

I know it’s a joke, but I don’t think it’s heavy enough to require a spot.

I was just thinking “I wonder how much that weighs.” Probably don’t look like much, but barbed wire isn’t light. And that’s wrapped pretty thick.

I guess it depends on that bar. Is it a car axle or something? (I have literally no idea)

It could be a sweet joust too…

damn, no excuse like, “hey guys there’s no 24 hour fitness around here in the desert, guess I can’t work out”
