Hello So I have been recently struggling to find a good gyn in my area. I am making do with what is provided in the condo gym. For the past couple of weeks i have been doing bear hug plate carries and squats. They are my new favorote form of torture. I find them especailly testing and wondered if anyone else had experimented with the exercise. As an aside i am on the verge of giving up on my search for a gym and buying a 32kg and working with that.
I havent done them much but thanks for the reminder As I dont have sandbags they seem to be a great alternative!
Was just having a conversation today about how comprehensive bearhug lifts can be. One I have experimented with is bearhug into a GoodMorning, come back up and drop into a front squat, repeat. Hugging the weight works anterior due to clamping effort, posterior due to pulling it tight to the trunk, mix with your favorite hinge and/or squat and you've got a relatively complete though somewhat unpleasant workout. I haven't done any with plates though, I'll stick with my sandbags
