For a 40lb pipe, add 3.5 gallons of water.For a 30lb pipe, add 2.5 gallons of water.For a 20lb slosh pipe, add 1.24 gallons of water.The pipe holds a total of 6.5246 gallons of water, but remember we’re not filling it to capacity. Measure five feet from one end to the center of your slosh pipe and mark it with duct-tape or paint so you can easily pick the pipe up in the middle without thinking about it.Ī 10-foot piece of 4-inch diameter black ABS with end caps weighs about 10lb. Let the glue cure while the pipe leans against a wall or tree.Once the glue sets, you can remove the tape. It may try to pop off from air pressure in the pipe, so have a piece of tape handy to secure the cap if this happens. After pouring the water in, dry the end completely.You need to leave some space in the pipe so the water can slosh back and forth. You might need to recruit a friend to hold it while you climb on top of a car, into a tree, or onto a step ladder to fill it up. I leaned mine against a building and climbed on the roof to dump water into the pipe. Next you need to fill the pipe with water.Let the glue cure according to directions. Apply the glue liberally so you get a good seal. Glue one end cap to one end of your pipe.Read and follow the directions on the can of ABS glue.The next tool you will need for the program I am building to get you there requires some assembly: the slosh pipe. I am giving you the tools to develop the kind of unexpected, gorilla-like strength I used to hold my own against my coworker. It goes far beyond bi-lateral barbell strength and gives you the ability to move, act, and react with strength and grace.ĭuring the last few months we’ve worked on the kettlebell snatch and trained with sledgehammers. This kind of strength allows you to move furniture without getting sore the next day and withstand hours of strenuous outdoor activities. They might even say “Man! You’re like wrestling a gorilla!” It’s the kind of strength that takes someone completely by surprise if they mess with you. Others relate it to a wrestler’s strength and you often find it in physical laborers. Coach Dan John calls it anaconda strength. Most of us could use some of that wiry strength. Getting lean and strong happens all the time, even for people with no gym memberships. At 6’3”and 185lb (depending on how much pizza I’d eaten the night before), I was the physical definition of wiry – lean, tough, sinewy, and strong. My supervisor merely shook his head and grinned. “You’re wiry,” he said with a laugh, and then hurriedly walked back to work. Me being me, I reciprocated the “nice-to-meet-you-man-shake.” We scuffled about on the cardboard for a brief moment, at which point I managed to twist out of his grasp and back onto my feet. Just then, he launched into my shoulder and knocked me flat out onto the stack of waist-high cardboard I was sitting on. I said I was, and turned to toss my wrapper away.
