Sup /fit/,Im 19 years old, about 5' 10" and im a poorfag student. I decided to start bulking up this week and have started eating more, certain foods. My problem is the working out part, and i was don't have any weights that i can use so I've just been doing squats, crunches and push ups. I was wondering if filling up a spare bag that i have to add some extra weight on my back when i do pushups and squats is a good idea?pic is related i guess but is just some random picture i found of a guy wearing a heavy looking bag.
Fill the bag with oats and you shouldn't have any problems.
>>477757hmm that sounds highly impractical :D
enjoy your ruined back
Bad idea unless you have a great backpack that distributes the weight adequately.Since a good pack will cost you a bunch of money this whole backpack training thing doesn't seem like a good idea.
>>477793well i just tried a normal backpack filled with some of my heavy textbooks and it did make things alot harder but if it damages something then i guess its not worth it ;_;
make it into a sandbagand u can do sandbang cleans, sandbag squats, sandbag lunges, sandbag burpees etc.i fyou're interested, get more ideas for sanding bag training from the rosstraining forums
Why not just do harder types of pushups?As for SQUATZjust hold heavy stuff in your hands?
