This was a really good session. That has to be a volume rep PR at 140, and there was more in the tank too. Despite my dodgy old man hips I am feeling strong.

Tuesday strongman conditioning
Sandbag practice today. Did some picks with the 100KG bag and some shouldering with the 60KG bag.
Shouldered the 100KG (220 lbs) bag for the first time today. The bag at the gym is pretty floppy so it was a bit of a struggle but I got it first try. Happy

I still have my 115KG bag at home but I will need a lot more practice to have a chance of getting that up. Really happy with 100, especially as I haven’t done sandbag work for a while.
