All The Gyms Are Closed...So We Made Our Own In The Shop!

What happens here

Repurpose a sturdy cooler as a makeshift weight bench. Position the cooler on a flat surface. Place the engine block with the rod (from the previous step) on your chest while lying on the cooler. Perform bench presses, being extremely cautious due to the block's weight and sharp edges. Also, demonstrate this exercise using a flywheel instead of the engine block for a slightly different challenge.

Goal: Perform bench presses using car parts as weights and a cooler as a bench

Tools and materials

  • Cooler Coleman — Makeshift weight bench
  • Empty Engine Block with Rod — Heavy weight for bench press
  • Flywheel — Weight for bench press (alternative to engine block)
