Dog Days

This is my first time trying Dog Days on my SkiErg. I ususally do it on my RowErg but I'm having some glute/hip issue that's keeping me off of the RowErg right now. I've got to admit it's harder on the SkiErg.

Anyone else doing the challenge?

Looking to get into sandbags and have a a couple of questions

As the title states, I'm interested in using sandbags for most of my main lifting. I'm just getting back into strength training after being away for a good bit and focusing on my Yoga practice. I'm mainly using KB for swing/snatch/C&P/Goblet Squat and clubs for various swings plus bodyweight right now. I still have a pretty vigorous Yoga Asana practice 5 days per week, but reducing the time down to around 30 minuntes from an hour per day. Two days of Yin/Restorative Yoga.

Mainly looking to work the basics of row/shoulder/squat/carry to build some basic strength with the sandbag maybe three times per week. I think a typical training session would be warm up with rows, then rotate through shouldering, squatting, and carrying. Finishing with a short KB/Club/Calisthenics circuit.

My question is where to start with the bag. I can swing/snatch/C&P a 24kg KB, so I figure somewhere around 75-80# bag to start?? And would I be better off getting a larger bag and fillig with the Rogue crumb rubber so I'm not starting with a very small bag? I could always remove rubber and fill with sand as I got stronger.

Thinning down the fleet

I'm thinning down my bike garage and need to let go of my Gen 1 Straggler. It's the dark blue with bass boat flake paint. Paint is still very nice, but the Straggler stickers are wearing on the top tube.

Build it pretty Rivendell-ish, with a solid mechanical setup.

58cm

  • 11 speed Shimano GRX 810 2x rear mech with an 11/36 cassette
  • 105/Ultegra level off-series front crank and mech so I could get a silver color. 46/36 chainrings
  • Ultegra 11 speed bar-end shifters
  • Nitto Noodle bars, 46cm (I think)
  • Nitto seatpost with Brooks Cambium C17 saddle
  • Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes.
  • Mavic A719 rims laced to Shimano Deore hubs

Bike is in the Atlanta area and I'd like to sell it local if possible. Asking $1k
