Either way there are some exercises a limp sandbag can't do a stiff barbell can.
    You would probably hurt yourself lifting a 300 lb sand bag, that dead, limp weight is a lot harder to carry than something solid...I actually have a 300 pound plus gravel bag made out of an old army duffel bag, not for lifting, just for conditioning leg kicks and sweeps. (Sits on the floor, I couldn't hang it if I wanted to, straps wouldn't hold and if they broke that could be the end of your foot.)

    Those 70 pound tubes of sand they sell at Home Depot would be a good workout tool, they're cheap, manageable and half way durable.

    Dude, you're a beast! I have an XXL Wave Master that I kick around but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around kicking a 300 pound gravel bag, though I'd sure give it a go.

    I'm a long ways from doing it full force, I should have started with half sand, half gravel, but I wanted all or nothing, lol...I can hit it about half power, maybe someday....

    Just added pullups to my routine, and getting some solid results.

    Do about 110 of them on biceps and back day. Split them into sets of 10, with 60 close hand and 50 widearm. Usually need to bring in the chair to finish them all.

    So I'm trying to gain some size, and this is a lazy question I could probably answer with Google but I figure I'd ask, which percentage max rep will help you gain size? And with that what size reps? I'm pretty sure with size gain you want small reps and few sets correct? And is there a difference for say pure mass gain and trying to gain size and strength? Thanks.

    Increase of muscle mass comes from two MAIN factors:
    Increase in weight.
    Hypertrophy, which is a fancy name for increase in muscle mass.
    Muscle gets bigger when it has to grow bigger because of increased demands.
    For that it requires food.
    The reps schemes are, typically, as follows:
    1-3 range - pure strength and minimal muscle size increase
    3-5 - mostly strength and some mass
    5-8 mostly mass and some strength
    8-12 - mostly mass and some muscular endurance
    12+ mostly endurance and little mass.

    Sets are a bit more tricky because that depends on the protocol you are following what kind of exercises you will be doing.

    Do NOT use the typical bodybuilder routines unless you are a high caliber BB and/or on recovery enhancers ( Steroids, etc).

    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    I'm okay I don't need to use steroids and shrink my wang. Well that does help some

    Off the topic of that, but over at truenutrition.com and making a custom protein powder. My question being, say I add whey, casein, and brown rice, would that be a complete protein because I know you often have to add rice and beans together to make a complete protein or would also adding hemp or pea protein be needed? I also suggest taking a look over that site, pretty good stuff for much cheaper than anywhere else.
