Odd lifts are lifts that are a little unconventional and somewhat… Odd!

In days not so long ago people would pick up objects and either stand with them or put them over their heads. With the onset of machines lifting things in this manner tended to go out of fashion. The Bench Press only became popular post WW2.
Rather than lie or sit down individuals would stand on their own two feet and pick things up. One of these such lifts was the two- hands anyhow. It’s exactly as it sounds, you pick up two weights (barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells) and you place them over your head- anyway, anyhow you like!
Lifts like the Two- Hands Anyhow, The Bent Press, The Wind Mill, Bottoms Up Press, various One Arm Lifts, Continental Lifts and many more are all lifts that have been forgotten.
There’s something almost primal about picking a weight up and putting it over your head. Remembering the lifts of old, paying homage to them and giving them a try should be embraced. As you long as you keep sensible and safe, what have you got to lose? What will happen is that you’ll gain new found strength!
