I don't know what the exact weight on the m
"medium" sandbag was. It felt heavier than the bulgarian bag, but not by much. If I had to guess I'd say about 90lbs. Justin has a lovely way of not knowing how much the stuff actually weighs which drives my obsessive brain into total dysfunction.
I had fun last night! I felt like I was back in a happy place, not just grinding out a chore. The lifts felt good and the weight was easy. I love sandbag lifts because you truly use your ENTIRE body. From your calves to your thighs, to your trunk and shoulders - everything gets involved in hoisting that bag up to your chest. It's great!
I also felt good with the DB bench presses. I was actually surprised that I got the 40lbs up for the entire working set. I can't wait to see what I'll be able to overhead press. I also am excited to maybe get under that new yoke at the gym and give it a whirl. I've never done yoke carries before, but I want to. I'm curious to see how much weight I'll be able to move. This is where my heart is, this is where I belong even if my back yells at me from time to time. I like powerlifting too, but strongman is my choice.
I want to keep this feeling going. I didn't want to go to the gym at all last night. I was dreading it, to be honest. But I knew that I NEEDED it. I worked sensibly through the frustrations of my day, worked steadily through aggravation and negative feelings and I left feeling better, more relaxed and more focused. I enjoy the high that lifting brings me, it's like nothing else.
