bands: lat pulldown 3 x 20; flyes 3 x 20; curls 3 x 15; tricep extensions 4 x 10; side lat raises 3 x
15; front raises 3 x 15 (bands produce a good tightness feeling I had forgotten)
75 - 80 lb sandbag shoulder carries about 50 feet each side around garage (raining)
Finally braved the virus and got 2 more 50 lb sacks of sand; Home Depot let about 10 people at a time into store. No previous virus deaths’ knowledge until Tuesday when a friend’s 80 yr old brother died from it after about 17 days suffering and same friend’s wife’s coworker, 40 yr old IT guy, also died from it. There are 4 small towns in Louisiana listed in NYT Sunday first section page of graphs; each was rated in to top 10 nationwide for various aspects of the virus.
One would never know otherwise with all the kids driving around my subdivision in golf carts like Mardi Gras floats. (no golf course in subdivision) Home quarantine Louisiana style…
Quarantine around here is not really happening. They have reported our county has the largest percentage of essential workers in the nation. This is due to agriculture. I tried to go to Lowes a couple weeks ago, and it was just stupid. The place was packed.
kettlebells 3 x 30 & 1 x 10 @ 35; 3 x 30 and 1 x 10 @ 50; 1 x 15 @ 80
variious band widths: tricep extensions 3 x 15 (honestly felt like l00 lbs or so in gym); curls 3 x 15; flyes 3 x 15; side lateral raises 3 x 15; front lateral raises 3 x 15; these produced some sweat
about 75 or 80 lb sand bag carry about 140 feet.
For a Friday workout this was ok. Actually liking garage work, just not the solitude. I’ve read that heat/sunlight/vitamin D may defend against the virus, so future commercial gym work will include steamroom after each workout. Presently enjoying decisions on building garage gym which will be a slow building process even when stuff’s back in stock. Made my rack order during about the 2 day time order window was open. Jeez.

Sandbag carries going well; really leave me winded.
Biker- Just curious are you shoulder carrying, bear hugging carry, Zercher? as soon as I read winded I wanted to find out. Not that it matters…just good stuff brother!
All pre 95 lb sandbag carries were shoulder carries, which I prefer. 95 lbs have been bear hugs. Today I tried shoulder carry but it was awkward after 20 feet, so bear hug again.
pullups (almost no band assistance) 5, 4, 3, 5, 5, 5
35 lb kettlebell swings 1 x 20
50 lb kettlebell swings 4 x 20
95 lb sandbag bear hug carry 140 ft.
I read that pullups require pulling elbows to chest. That mindset produced good reps and improved form. Band was albeit useless; last set was after sandbag carry. Will continue reading that book.
