I started with 100 pounds. It was very hard to handle. In a couple of weeks, however, you get used to it. I then went to 150 and thought it was a mistake. Now 150 is nothing. I would start at 75 and work with it a couple of weeks. Before long you will be at 100. I’m sold on sandbags now.
Never. OG knows his stuff.

My home repair on my best barbell did not take. I now have to use the really crappy one. I guess I’ll be in the market for new gear again.

Thanks. I’ll give them a look. I really am not looking for anything top of the line, since it’s just for my garage. I am seeing these bars for $300 to $500. That’s more than I am going to spend.

I am maxed out of time off at work, so I took today off to get the four day weekend. I decided to hit the gym, rather than the garage. The last time I pulled there was last March. We’re taking the daughter back to school on Sunday, so it will be a nice father/daughter day.

I thought I would give 415 a ride after 355. It was short ride. I’ll load up on Bang next week and try again.
This is now seven days on my Keto diet and I am down nine pounds.

Awesome sauce!! Congrats!
Doesn’t look like the lack of carbs is affecting your lifting. How’s you energy level over all/
^Same thoughts here too.
It’s not too bad. I had a set back Saturday night. My son came home for the weekend. His birthday is next week, so we decided to have a family dinner. He wanted Mexican, so we ordered out. I got carne asada with no rice. I had no idea the refried beans had so many carbs. My goal is eight more pounds by Saturday.

Sandbag Over The Shoulders: 2500 steps x 150
Not too bad. I was able to equal my total step high number at 150 pounds.

Do you switch shoulders back and forth or is this like a fireman’s carry ? And may I add…awesome ! 2500 steps would be over a mile…
But refried beans are amazing!
Refried beans give you powah!!!
All of the above. I hit both shoulders and get in the fireman’s carry.
Need to add sand.
I know. I am thinking another 20 pounds.
