Some of you know that I have competed in the Inman Mile, and event where the goal is a 1 mile walk with 150% bodyweight on a squat bar on your back. Since no one has ever completed it, records are kept with that weight, by the distance covered. I own the record, such as it is, for my old, skinny guy weight class. I'd have to look it up but I think it was 113 meters.
I'm considering doing part of my training for a future Inman attempt with a weighted backpack rather than a weighted bar - anyone aware of packs that can hold over 200 lbs.? I figure it would help with leg strength/endurance without quite so much wear on my spine.
Thanks in advance.
