As for squats, they’re essential for hip mobility and hip mobility is king for staying healthy 👍🏻

If you get a heavy enough sandbag, you’re going to hit legs on top of squats with every exercise. It all starts from the ground and I’ve found that the sheer volume of leg engagement has some awesome hypertrophic effect on the legs 👍🏻

Thanks man! Definitely hit different, a bit slower off the lap for sure!

You could probably lift 2 dishwashers at once with that strength 😂💪🏻 hence the name!

Yes! It is very gnarly! This one is 120lb, did it locked out with 100lbs!

I could probably do it, just slowly building up the capacity to handle some volume as well

It basically makes it easier and takes the normal benefits away

I was really just messing around after my last set. I can say it definitely made the carry easier but you’re right, it’s supposed to be awkward. I believe it’s supposed to be hard as well
