Re: Article "Operator Options". You'll Want to Read This.

As a mid 40s desk jockey, squatting and deadlifting in the same workout does not work for me (lower back). replacing squats with DL on wednesdays is a great option. I'm currently experimenting with deadlifting on Saturdays along with sandbag carries, farmers walk, kb suitcase carries, and pinch grip...

Re: Strongman Sandbags

I originally started my sandbag training years ago using army duffel bags - it is a great way to start and only cost $20 plus contractor bags for the interior (reduce sand dust).

Re: Order of exercises; Pros & Cons?

I work out at 7:30 am and tend to need more warmup for squats. Thus I bench first and during my 2-3 min rest periods, I do dynamic stretching for squats - high knee raises, lunges, band work.
