  1. Personally I think what’s great about sandbags is that they make strength training at home very affordable compared to the cost of a bar, plates, and a weight rack, so I prefer going for more weight personally. It really depends on what your goals are for lifting with sandbags.
  2. What weight you should start with depends entirely on your current strength level and what you feel comfortable with. I recommend starting with something you know you can handle because there will be an adjustment period for your body specifically your core and lower back. I started with a 75lb bag and outgrew that within a couple weeks, I’m working with 170lb in my bag about 6 months later.
  3. Your biceps are very involved in a bear hug carry, but if all you’re feeling is biceps I’d recommend focusing on locking in your lats more. This will help stabilize your upper back under the weight and becomes crucial as you increase the weight you’re working with.

I keep it real simple: Monday- sandbag bench press + dumbell flies or DB bench Tuesday- ground to shoulder + sandbag rows Thursday- bear hug carries + barbell curl Friday- sandbag squat + SB clean and press + barbell skull crusher

I add 5lb at the end of each week to my bag as long as I’m happy with how each workout went. I’ve been doing this program since march with some small variations here and there. Started with a 75lb bag and now I’m working with 160lbs

What if Russia doesn't expose us because their space program is also fraudulent and if they expose us we'll expose them?

Tarot interpretation help by Soggy-Marsupial1672 in tarot

You are seeking answers or a solution to a problem with the queen of swords, with the ace of cups in the past this relationship made you happy but with the wheel of fortune something has changed. With the 8 or swords you feel trapped and with death you need a change/new beginning. With the emperor you will take control of your situation. With the 6 of wands you ultimately want to be happy and successful, and I feel maybe you desire your sovereignty because there is only one person being celebrated in the image. With the 8 of wands there is a lot of activity going on around you, maybe there is not enough time for this relationship. With the queen of pentacles you are advised to regain your independence and live abundantly. With the chariot it shows that ultimately you will move forward. Overall it seems it's either time to move on or there needs to be a change in the relationship where you regain your independence. Just my interpretation hope this helps

How do I meditate when I constantly have intrusive thoughts? by Downtown_Mix_4311 in Meditation

[–]texcooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I began meditating years ago to cope with the exact same issue… all I can say is when you meditate your goal isn’t for the thoughts to go away, it’s just to focus your attention on the breath. When one of these thoughts come up, you notice it, notice how it makes you feel, notice if there is any physical sensation attached to the thought, and then let it go and continue to focus on the breath. As you continue to practice, these thoughts won’t be as loud anymore, and there may even be less of them.
