Strongman Saturday
Working with my 100KG sandbag today. This bag is a fker. It is only about 80% full (should be 114KG - 250lbs), so it is really floppy and slippery.
Trying to shoulder the sandbag today. Lots of tryās in 24 mins, with a whole load of failures. Got pretty close by the end of the workout.
I am not sure doing heavy sandbag work the day after Amrap deadlift is a great idea but then I never was that smart.

I noticed in the description of your YouTube video you described the sandbag as ā100 KG (220 lbs) of floppy slippery misery.ā
Ironically, thatās exactly how my wife describes me to her friendsā¦
Nice effort, sir.

I was thinking of you yesterday (in a nice way of course). We have had a pretty busy week so dinner at home has been a little un organised and as a result some of the meals have been less that nutritionally perfect. 2 of my kids mentioned yesterday that they has a mouth ulcer.
My immediate go to response was āwell thatās what happens when you donāt eat good foodā.
Then thought QQ would be telling them, eat your veggies.

Sure, whatevsā¦ Lol.
Damn straight Iād have told them to eat their veggies! Carrots cure canker sores, itās science. Science that I totally just made up, but am pretty sure is legit.

The biceps doms today after the sandbag struggles yesterday was real.
Spend the day with my son at a lawn bowls tournament. He only started playing a few weeks ago. He started playing at school and got a scholarship to play at our local club. He has only been playing a few weeks but the coach is really happy with him and has high hopes for him once he gets more time under his belt. He played three matches today against other kids who were older and more experienced. He lost 2 and won 1 and had a good time and made some friends.
