Today was a good and hard day. I didn’t get everything I wanted to get done, done. My list of big three things fell away when my son flipped out about having to go for a walk with me this morning.
I finally got him calmed down and we decided he needed another form of exercise. And I think we found one…
We decided strong man style backyard training would be fun. So we went online and ordered a tone of stuff from the local Lowe’s.
I got 300 pounds of sand and a bunch of 2×4’s and plywood. We are going to fill sandbags (which I have a bunch of as preps) with different weights. I’m going to create a couple 10, 15, 20, 25, and 50 pound bags for us to use. It should be a blast.
Then we are going to build a couple movable walls of different heights to toss the bags over.
If nothing else it will be a fun building project we can do. He already got a workout trying to move 300 pounds of sand (in 50 pound bags) with a wheel barrel into the back yard. Then carrying lumber is always hard work too. I had fun. Him, a little less. He gets aggravated that he can’t do as much as me. I’m 6’2″ 330 pounds and have been lifting for the last couple years. He is 10, 5’2″ and about 115 pounds wet. So he has some work to do to catch me.
This seems like a great start. We needed a project and something to work out together with. This should do it!
I got the five things for my 75 Hard done pretty easily and will be building with my son tomorrow.
Setting everything up took way more time then I thought and I didn’t get to film some videos like was on my list. I’ll just have to get that tomorrow.
