Heavy "Kettlebell" Swings, Natural Stone Loading, and Farmer's Walks

My Sunday afternoon workout in a barn that was actually above freezing. This made a nice change from the boring routine of standard big compound lifts three days per week. While still too weak on stones and carries, I'm making gradual progress. At one time I used to struggle to lift a 125 pound stone onto a three tire platform, and to carry 130 pounds per hand for any distance.
Note that I realize this workout's "cardio" belongs in quotes, but I didn't feel like making air quotes while speaking. It was mostly a tongue-in-cheek reference to the meatheads who say, "Anything over five reps is cardio, bro!" Rest assured I also do conventional cardio sessions for heart and lung health.
