no, you read it right

Couple years ago few people across UK did shopping cart overhead pressing comp, a feat which requires wit (in locating a suitable cart), courage (to avoid security guards), strength (for reps), grip and odd object lifting. Results varied greatly, but it was rewarding nevertheless

It is much harder than you would think!

who would be up for this?

Sweet, I'd love to have a go at this. How much does the average trolley weight?

I think I'd have trouble getting hold of a trolley to practise however. All the supermarkets round here have magnetic wheels locks to stop the chavs making off with them!

no practice required, just go for it, clean it overhead and start repping

No idea how much the average trolley weighs, but it would be easy to get round the magnetic wheel locks - you just lift the trolley up.

I would be up for this, but there are no supermarkets anywhere near us so it will take some time until I find one!

sounds like fun to me, I had one in my garage for a long time until finally I needed more room and I left it at the side of the road. Too bad, guess I will have to go to a parking lot somewhere and try it out

I'll give it a try once my wirst feels better
sounds like fun, not sure how gbood I'd be though.

This is more my style:



heh heh hehehe...

Honestly tho, how about some of us have a contest with these?



See who can press the most with 10lbs of Tofurkey soysauges in it. =)

This seems like an interesting idea. I kinda tried something like this with my punching bag once.

i feel strangely, irresistably, drawn to take part in this.

we'll do this at melbourne vegan strength for sure.. hardcore iv, big wave, wanna help me steal a trolley?

range of motion question, does your head need to go into the basket to count as a full rep?

I'm with Dave here, I think I'll stick to the plastic ones

My vote is yes!

yeah, I would think head into the basket would be a good rep, otherwise it is just the top half of the motion.. so who is going to get this started and set some numbers to beat??

folks, i forgot one essential rule:

photographic evidence is required

This way if you have the balls to even try it without getting a single rep, my hat is off to you

So who will be the first to post some photographical evidence of this ? Hmm, maybe I should make a trip to the supermarket .

The MVS massif did a few killer sets of trolley lifting on the weekend. Hannibal should be posting the pics soon. Lots of interesting technical variations.
