That’s what I meant; instead of deadlifting, I would do the 100 kettlebell swings.
Could you define more on “heavy carries and loads”? I have a broad idea, like having a trap bar with weight and carrying it for distance, but I’m not familiar with these sort of exercises.
I was thinking more like sandbags and stones
Ah.
I was about to say we have neither of those at the school weight room. But yes we do! We have a sandbag. So that’s something.
… what exactly do I do with it?
Try picking it up and carrying it and see how that feels
Got it. Il try that tomorrow.
I wont have access to something like that over the summer, BUT I have two old sweatshirts I can probably sew into a shape that would work. Would you recommened this?
(Not even sure why Im asking im doing it anyway)

Today I get to lift and test my max for squat. Im excited.
After I do my squats, I will test out the sand bag and see how that feels. Maybe after that Il hit bench.
The plan to make a sandbag out of sweatshirts isn’t going to work, its not the right material I don’t think. But,I took the sleeves off of the one and It can be like a workout shirt I guess? Also I tried looking it up and half ot the models arms literally look photoshop, so… ??? Also a lot of the are sleeveless hoodies. Like, No… not sleeveless hoodies. sleeveless sweatshirts. I don’t know if I will even wear it for strength today or not. Would be a good test run I suppose
