William doing his first workout

Wow, what a workout!  I started with 25lbs, thinking I was being conservative.  My hands are smoked (in a good way)!  If grip strength is tied to longevity, my hands were telling me I didn’t have much time left!  It took me about 26:30 minutes to complete 3 cycles.  I had to rewind a couple of times in order not to cheat myself.  I feel accomplished and immensely grateful.  My challenge to myself is to do three workouts a week for the next four weeks to EARN a GripSack Sandbag.  I just have to mention this in closing, Sunday (two days ago) I was so inspired after coming across Steve on Instagram, I went out and purchased sand and a sandbag.  Just lugging that sand from my car to the basement left my hamstrings sore up until today.  In an email from Steve today he simply said, “I stopped kidding myself life was going to get easier.”  It was then I knew I had to start today, no matter what.

Great job William. I’m guessing you did 3 cycles through the video (so 9 cycles of the workout) and that’s a committed start! Looking forward to hearing about your next workout

    Today, day five, the mental battle was self-inflicted.  I felt motivated to come home from work today and complete my workout.  I sat down and started doom-scrolling, almost wasting an entire hour!  Anyway, I am still working with 30lbs.  In the first cycle, it felt like those beeps were coming quickly.  I am feeling a…
