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

    Wow that reverse is certainly different, a good mix up. No’7 done, certainly sweating today. 

  • Late No. 9

    I had a four day family gathering (Fri to Mon) where I was away from home. No chance to workout, so this is my belated no. 9. Sorry!

    As the routine becomes familiar the fluidity improves. The first cycle feels like the longest but it goes quickly after that – crikey it’s only 25 minutes there’s no excuse. Maintained  34lb but kept weight further away from body. Still struggling on overhead isometric as bag wants to flop on my head and can’t quite…

  • Numero Tres!

    A muggy one. Got out early (just after 10am) to beat the heat. Legs wobbling at the end, but made my 8 cycles. 1 week done!

    I did it! I made it through 9 full cycles in the 25 mins! So proud of myself. 5th one done.
