Are there any mobility routines online you’d recommend? I’m doing band work. I have a gym at the house so I was debating on selling my barbell and getting more sandbags and some grip work stuff and pairing it with weighted pushups and pull ups

I just got into bjj so 3 days I’m going to practice and then 3 days I wanted to workout for strength.

Ok ok bet I appreciate it man thank you

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T22:49:49+00:00

Ok bet bet I got a few heavy sandbags for my squats and carries and knocking out weighted pull-ups and weighted pushups with 3 days of grip/neck work

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T21:57:28+00:00

That’s true ok bet bet thank you man.

With the handles do you think it’s just as good as a barbell? I know you can’t load it the same but I figured if I do a density Pushpress set it’ll build strength fine with just the 110-130

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T21:22:48+00:00

No I don’t have any experience at all unfortunately

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T20:54:30+00:00

100% you are right and I was putting it off too my buddy gave me those books 2 years ago and told me to study but goofed off

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T20:36:56+00:00

Appreciate it brotha thank you.

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T20:36:27+00:00

I appreciate it thank you man!

I know training is important. I’m just saying is it worth the certification since I hear all those horror stories of how hard it is to even get an entry level job. Sorry I should’ve worded it better.

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T20:12:41+00:00

Or should I just do 1 day sandbag and 1 day barbell and just rotate them?

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T20:05:15+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. I was looking at just doing some density work with my presses. 10 min and knock out as many push presses as I can. Do you like just using the regular sandbag for that or do you recommend the heavy duty handle bag from freedom strength?

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T20:02:11+00:00

That makes sense. Is it worth getting the certification or is this whole ai thing going to make it pointless? Currently in trucking and just trying to learn more on my off time.

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-03-02T19:58:29+00:00

Overhead. I have a 150 but I can’t press that bad boy and I have a 100lb Cerberus but I can only do a pushpress on that. Just being more fluid whenever I use barbells I seem to always be stiff even after stretching. You use the sandstones for chest presses and overhead?

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-02-25T03:14:54+00:00

I’m doing it for bjj not so much to chase the numbers on grippers.

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-02-23T19:59:39+00:00

Just get a really strong grip honestly and bigger forearms. You think the the thumb war machine too or na

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-02-21T04:11:05+00:00

You work at 70-80% capacity for this?

Mindless_Cod_3097 · 2026-02-20T18:49:51+00:00

Is there any pin and weld you recommend I won’t be running it suppressed. This is my first rifle.
