Last 100% sandbag workout for next two weeks. Made a bet with my perpetually underweight son to see who can put on 10lbs first, winner gets a new Version 2 RepFitness sandbag. For me this will put me at 200lbs, my heaviest BW ever, for him it will get him to 71 lbs, where he should be anyway. Even if I win, I'll be getting him a new sandbag, he is now almost 100% self motivated, seldom misses a session, and in fact his routine needs an upgrade to reflect his proficiency. If only he would eat more!
These all sandbag sessions were supposed to be less taxing than the offset pole workouts, but in practice they're just as challenging with different lift mechanics. I've scrapped my between workout metcons and am doing a single session of HIIT instead.
The Laterals done with sandbag are one of the toughest lifts I do - mentally difficult to "attack", first rep of every set has an element of uncertainty as far as confidence goes.
Hit 20 reps on the saddlebag squats - need to add more weight

Approaching the best fitness overall of my life perhaps, certainly in the last 26 years, cannot believe I have pushed veins to surface on my lower traps. Feeling a great deal better than on my last birthday. Training legs heavier is 80% of the reason. I can't imagine another lean 10lbs, but for sure I can do 5 before I need to loosen my belt...
