Hey AG,

Welcome. I've never done sandbag get-ups. Do you? How do you like them? I'm always looking to try something new.

Nice. That is some serious weight for not "really pushing" it.

Thanks. I was strapped. I usually use straps when I use DBs over 110. I can only get 5 or 6 reps @ 130 without straps.

DB Rows are one of my favorite exercises

Holy smokes on the DB presses. How do you get them in position?

I just curl 'em....LOL.....JK

I rest them on my knees then SLOWLY rock 'em back onto my chest - then press 'em up. I'm very careful. "Back in the day (1997) " I tore my left rotator cuff doing heavy DB presses which required surgery
