Well I got a kid in college and a second in law school, so the second income is nice. But yes, the kids are great. I’m in my 10th year this year.

Sandbag Shoulder Carries: 1000 steps x 200
Sandbag Bearhug Carries: 500 steps x 200
Sandbag Suitcase Carries: 100 steps x 200

I did the shoulder carries in two sets. The first was 700 steps, which I think might be a 200 pound on set PR. As I have said before the bearhug carries are really hard. 500 steps might be a PR, but I am not sure.

I vote for just shoulder carries, and --of course–increased sandbag weight. You’re still young enough to push yourself as long as you’ve got that blood pressure controlled.

Just a thought.

Well it was your peer pressure that drove me to 200. I might have room in the bag for 20 or so more pounds. That’s down the road however.

I forget it’s still winter. It was 50 when I got home, so I thought I would leave the door open. About halfway through the wind came up and that was enough of that.

Winter is back. It was 35 degrees at carry time. My first step of shoulder carries was a PR of 800 steps. 700 bearhug steps was a PR for 200 pounds. As was 200 suitcase carry steps. I still say sandbag carries is one of the hardest things I’ve done.

Impressive. I swear I haven’t touched a sandbag since I got out of the military but you guys are gonna make me give this a try.
