Players pick one up, walk to the other end of the field, jog back, pick up another object, walk to the other end, repeat until they've made a trip with each object. Rest periods depend on how many athletes are training in that session and how many objects I can scrape together.

No rack, bench, nada. So I would load the bar and my plates into my truck, drive out in the desert and lift. Every thing had to be pulled from the ground. So If ya wanted to press, squat, front squat, etc., ya had ta clean that puppy. One thing I would do was load up the bar, grab one end and stand the bar upright on end. Then get close to it and lift, lever it up to one shoulder and do one side squats or push press with one hand. When ya got done, ya'd tip one end down and then slowly lower the bar to the ground to repeat the set for the other side. Deads are great, but in some cases, man handling a bar around like this and learning to do a good clean are of great benefit to any ahtlete and develop the body in ways the dead lift can't touch. It toughens you up. I've always said if someone can't learn to clean a barbell, they ain't much of an athlete, so they might as well pack it up and go home. Lottsa more where that came from...
