Old Guy Strength

I found a store in another town, about 80 miles from here, that had bars. I called Saturday and the guy said they just got a shipment of 94. The wife and I drove down there on Monday. It’s a pretty cool store with a ton of equipment. They stock clubs and homes. I found this place several years ago, when my buddies and I were in a meet just down the street.

The funny part was a brought cash. The guy rang it up and said it was $279. I only brought $240. As I was going for my credit card he saw my wad of cash. He asked how much I had on me. I said $240. He grabbed the money and said it was $240 today. I should have told him I only had $150.

Shoulder Sandbag Carries: 1000 steps x 170

Sandbag Bearhug Carries: 100 steps x 170

I got tired of biker being on my butt for not getting sand, so I made the trip to Lowes yesterday. I only added 20 pounds, but it felt like 100. There was a huge difference between 150 and 170. Still, I have extra sand for when I make the jump to 200 in a couple of months.

I got my first Covid vaccine today, and I don’t know if that had anything to do with it. My stomach has felt a little off since the shot.

On a side note, I am down 13 pounds in the past 15 days.

Is this where I turn in my man card ? some really fine sandbag work,Crip!

And internet high five on the weight loss

1000 steps at 170 shoulder carry. Strong. Will be a short couple of months.

My wife ended up with a swollen and sore shoulder for about a day and a half, but some of her colleagues ended up with stronger reactions like fever, chills, etc. But again, they cleared up after about 12-24 hours.

Congrats on shedding the pounds.
