What kind of gains could I expect by pushing a rock up an incline every day(or however long would be an optimal rest period)?
What would be the cheapest way to facilitate such a training set-up?

>What kind of gains could I expect by pushing a rock up an incline every day

None, that's the whole point of the punishment.

>What would be the cheapest way to facilitate such a training set-up?

Trick death into letting you live forever thus pissing off the Gods enough to make such a work out your eternal punishment.

>>40466115
>none
I'm not saying I'd do it constantly. I'm not talking about living like sisyphus.
>>
>>40466104
only one way to find out, nobody here has done it.
the cheapest way would be to find a boulder and a hill...
>>
It's basically an incline bench press with some stabilising row motions, so chest, delts, lats and a little arms

>What would be the cheapest way to facilitate such a training set-up?
Theoretically you could find a big round boulder and a hill for free

Realistically you'd never find a round enough boulder, nor one that was the right weight, so it's never going to happen unless you spend several thousand on a large spherical boulder

>>40466142
>incline bench press
what, no, it'd be almost entirely legs? I'm not talking about repeatedly moving a rock to a high point from the ground relative to your body. I'm talking about pushing it up a surface for a considerably length, like a hill.

Doesn't matter it's still pure autism either way

I'd advise you not to be mean to me or it could end very badly for you.

even though its a retarded idea, i would guess get a big used tractor tire and fill it with fiber reinforced cement. it will dampen a bit with the rubber and it will give some grip if the profile is still somewhat there.
>>
>>40466355
why is it retarded?
>>
>>40466104
Royal tier gains.
>>
>>40468141
what does that mean?
>>
I'm not done with this thread.
>>
>>40466104
>what is the cheapest way to use a rock and a hill
>>
depends if you get a small rock that you can carry in one hand is probably the easiest way
>>
You'll make absurd gains.
>>
>>40469670
the idea is to get a rock that I can barely push up the hill.

What kind of rock,

We gotta get mineral details brah, do you even geology?
>>
>>40466258

he's a big guy
>>
>>40466104
You'd look like Sisyphus. Not quite a Greek god, I guess.
>>
>>40469736
Whatever is light or heavy enough while still being the right size to push.
>>
>>40469716
You would fucking kill yourself, guaranteed. You would get tired and fail a little and the rock would roll right back on you

Just start running with a sled, and go do some standing presses with the leg press. You might as well walk away with your back facing cable machines too with the cables in your hands
>>
>>40469781
what, that wouldn't even kill me unless it was such a crazy incline that I'd die from falling. we're talking about a hill, a grassy one, not some actual cliff. at best it'd roll over me on a cushiony surface.
>>
>>40469776
You want some ultra mafic olivine boulders

Dont be lifting that pussy pumice shit up a volcano, thats just for show
>>
>>40469810
You must be pretty hyped. not every day a geologist gets a thread where they can apply it.
>>
>>40469841
we all aspire to get rock-hard anon
