London Calling: Lochte and Dwyer Back to Basics as they Eye Olympic Glory

During a recent workout, DeLancey is using every ounce of muscle he has to pull out his favorite torture device from the gym in his garage – a 400-pound chain.

With the warm ups out of the way, DeLancey hands the group large medicine balls. Meanwhile, he begins rolling out a pair of massive tires that are used on earth movers. One weights 900 pounds. The other tips the scales at 650 pounds.

Lochte rolls the 650-pound tire down the alleyway and onto an adjacent street as a couple of neighbors watch curiously from their screened in porch. DeLancey rolls the other one and they eventually place them in the middle of a quiet street in the back of the neighborhood.

They have no clue that one of the guys rolling a tire is an Olympic champion.

I have mixed feelings about this new fad. On the one hand, it flies in the face of the notion that you have to join a gym or have access to sophisticated equipment. On the other hand, this 'functional training' craze is getting out of hand.

Also, have you seen what happens to people's lower backs when they lift 600 lb. tires ?
