I've had rain barrels at the house for a number of years and on this side of the house I specifically had two 55 gallon drums. They were bright blue and I had an odd setup for my gutter, but I finally changed everything.

Here is another uncut (but slightly edited) workout video. This one is more about creating explosive power through bodyweight exercises. The workout is listed below, but I also talk over a bit of it as well to explain some of what I am doing. Keep in mind that "Lengthening is Strengthening" even if it is not under heavy load.
