Still they all get the job done.

They just don't have that cool old school flare.

The 150lbs kegs we used were a little over 3/4 full till the weight was achieved.the heavier barrels were filled with a combo of water and lead shot to get the desired weight. Even then they sloshed around a lot. That's the hardest part of lifting a barrel not the weight.

This is a subject that we all have all seen somewhere in our lives and can tell of our experience seeing it or doing it. With pic's if possible.
Ill start with The Big Water Barrel Lift.  I got to see quite a few guys do this lift over the years as Zuver's started it back in 1960.  Many strong guys tried and failed to lift the original Zuver's 150lbs Water Barrel of shifting water. The photos below show some of the best of the best taking there shot at it. I know over the years all over the world there have been many different Barrel lifts with different types of barrels.
