 Member 862, 152 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 180450.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Ok, I may be nuts but after doing rather well in the Truck Pull at a recent competition I have been dreaming about attaching my harness to Plane and hoping for the best. As I work in the airport and have the contacts, this idea may be coming to light. If it go's ahead I hope to get companies to sponsor me by the foot or meter. Thing is Truck was 14 tonne. (took 1:11 to move it 25 meters) Airbus A320 is 42 tonne. Boeing 737 is 28 tonne. As there's no transmission on the plane it will move easier than a truck of the same weight. Should I snap out of this idea on the basics that its a plane and I've more hope of flying it than pulling it, or does it sound do-able? Also apart from doing truck pull what is the best training for this? front / rear squats???, leg extensions / curls??? calf raises / grip work?? Thanks  | ||
