I don't think I'm even close to it. At the end of my workouts, right know I carry a roughly 120lbs sandbag on my my shoulder and suitcase carry my kettlebell in my free hand... 2 minutes each side and then 2 minutes bear hug totaling 6 minutes... When I add weight, I drop down to my 35lbs kettlebell the first few weeks then move up to the 55lbs one.
So right now I was 180 but now i'm 190lbs due to summer and alcohol.... But I'm trying to loose 20lbs.. I'm more or less carrying my bodyweight. People who don't work out tell me i'm crazy and going to hurt myself. But I remind them how I started witha 50lbs sandbag years ago and have (too) slowly worked my way up to the 120lbs, which is starting to get way too light. But should I worry about hurting my joints or spine? I'm all about slowly adding weight and reps and time... I don't care about being the strongest, only getting stronger.
