StrongMan Keg Toss

The StrongMan Keg Toss is a dynamic exercise that develops explosive power and coordination.

  1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the keg at your waist.
  2. Engage your core and squat slightly to prepare for the toss.
  3. In one fluid motion, lift the keg and toss it forward, aiming for distance.
  4. Follow through with your arms and maintain balance as you complete the movement.

How to perform the StrongMan Keg Toss

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the StrongMan Keg Toss using your free weights.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your latissimus dorsi.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your latissimus dorsi rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
