Fun with Weights
Weighted vest.
About 8-9 of us. Fun with weights is an interesting problem. The reps are usually low enough that you want to go heavy, yet, the work last about 45 minutes so the weight needs to be manageable. Several of us have settled on 135# as a good weight. Sometimes you have to modify the movements in order to get the reps, and sometimes the movements are vastly stronger than that weight, dead lift for example, but, it is a good compromise number. My strategy is to break the work into chunks and to only do a chunk at a time, e.g. 10 yard carry, alone that is easy. If however, you start adding each of the 10 yard carries up it gets overwhelming. Just, do what is in front of you right now, when it is time to dead lift, dead lift, when it is time to run, run. I like to break sets up too so that if I'm doing 10 reps, I do a big celebration at 5, cause I'm half way done, and I know I can do 5 reps so finishing isn't so hard, doing 10 is hard, but doing 2, 5's that is easy.
