Sandbag to shoulder + Farmer’s carry help

I’m training for an upcoming competition, and one event is: Sandbag to shoulder, then carry a farmer’s handle in the other hand for 30m. From experimenting with the sandbag, I noticed that it has to be further down my back when I bend over to pick the farmer’s, otherwise it slips off.

I’m struggling to get my hand around the sandbag once I shoulder it, and this makes it really hard to pick the farmer’s efficiently.

Any tips?

How to get better at kegs?

Hi, I’m training for a max keg carry and load over bar. The keg will be a couple metres away from the bar. The keg in my gym has a smooth base, making it impossible to grip. There are sandbags and atlas stones in the gym, should I use that instead?

Also, I’ve been working on high pulls and zerchers, do these carry over? Thanks

How to train for upcoming Strongman competition

Hi, how do I train for a truck pull? What’s the difference between harness and arm-over-arm? Do grip socks help? What would the weight equivalent of a 24ft truck be on a sled?

Also, should I do a low pick or higher pick for a yoke walk?

Thanks ☺️
