Been starting workouts with a good 1 or 2 efforts at this lift. Hit it today. Will post full session details later...

How was that 1 mile walk? I'm guessing brutal. For some reason long carries like this appeal to me but then I never do them.

With only a 30 pound bag (keeping in mind I'm a few pounds heavier than you) it wasn't too much bother. I dig it though.
