More Rocky

Pretty much every Rocky movie featured some sort of bizarre or grueling training exercise all the way back to Rocky I with the raw egg drinking, meat punching and chicken chasing. I remember most of them like tying his left arm to his side, doing situps while some skinny little black guy was smacking the shit out of his stomach, wind sprints on the beach with Apollo Creed, lumberjack training in Siberia where he chopped wood, pressed horse carts, outran KGB cars in the snow, did pull downs with a net full of rocks and did a bizarre ab exercise where his body was totally straight but the only thing on the ground were his shoulder blades.  Sadly, Rocky V had nothing along these lines because Rocky wasn’t an active fighter in that flick. Just another reason it sucked.

Well Rocky VI got back to the tradition.  In this movie he did a lot of heavy lifting.  In one scene they show him pressing 315 above his head shortly after he squatted a ton more than that.  But my favorite training regimen from this one was where he took what looked like an empty beer keg and picked it up over his head and slammed the shit out of it into the ground.  It just looked and sounded cool.  Oh yea he punched meat again in this one.
