Heck yeah time to enjoy life!!

Thanks man and hell yeah! One armed scissor always gets me amped up

Hey any of that stuff can be great! My choice from what you listed would probably be dumbbells just because they make it easy to isolate the arms, but kettlebells and maces are awesome too! I'm actually experimenting with a chest expander myself right now and it's been awesome for arm isolation

@@thestonecircle What do you think about using rings for arm isolation? Other than your book, I have also read GVS’s book on Ring Training for Hypertrophy, and as you already know, there are a lot of ring isolation exercises for arms. My question is: are they as scalable as dumbbells? Thank you!

@@thestonecircle I have watched Alex Leonidas’ videos on the Chest Expander and want to buy one aswell but it's very expensive in shipping costs as I live in India 😅

Hahah luckily no head explosions yet

Hahah yeah that burn gets so intense! This is the one time I almost like the wider cerberus/rogue bags a little more because the extra width means more surface area for them to sit on, with the wider squat stance the ironmind starts to fall between my legs after a while lol

@@thestonecircle with a barbell i squat with a medium stance but with these box squats im basically in a deadlift stance. just feels better to me. i might be missing out on some adductor stimulus tho...

Thank you!

I use standard lifting chalk, I do seem to have developed a bit of a cough from using it so much in that small room at my last place though, the new place has a lot more ventilation so I'm hoping it will be better

Hell yeah passed the 20k mark badass!!

@ badass indeed man! Keep it going👍

Thank you! Hell yeah this album will always be in the rotation, so good!

Haha there you go!

Thank you!!

Heck yeah!!

Yeahhhhh!! Hahah man I'll substitute in my Great Pyranees

Hell yeah!! One of the best albums ever imo!

Thank you!

Hahah the best kind of pain 😂

Oh man they're awesome!!

Thank you!! Yeah it's kinda sad haha, it actually ended up being the entire septic tank was frozen, so any water down any drain just came up out of the downstairs toilet and flooded the place. It's getting fixed now though :)

@@thestonecircle Ah, man, I know how much that sucks. Last time my basement was flooded with sewage, early last year, due to a clogged pipe that leaked from its junctions, I even wrote an instrumental piece of music about it, which is now one of my darker video soundtracks.

❤❤❤

Thank you!

I wouldn't say it's been significantly faster than using normal rep ranges, but I have definitely seen some growth already! I think they call it the quad sweep/lateralis? The outer part of my quads, it almost looks like they're wider than my waist when I have a pump now, it's strange haha.

@thestonecircle What are everyday benefits that you did notice?

Feeling it today haha

​@@thestonecircle I've been influenced, took my first shot at it today. Just did 80lb x10, 120lb x25, 150lb x20 so as to not kill myself. Great finisher at the end of my mobility focused day though! There will be more to come, and eventually proper sandbags.

@@johnvargas8841 hahah. THIS. IS. SANDBAG...TA!!

200 lb shoulder squat is pretty crazy hahah. If you have instagram I recommend looking up caveman daveman, he recently did a shoulder box squat with a 300+ lb stone it was insane! I like regular squats too but box squats are really cool because they let you push so far beyond where you'd normally get to. The rest in the bottom position means you can keep rest pausing for a really long time. I have a lot of stuff planned for them though definitely some videos on the way!

@@thestonecircle oh shit 300lbs is out of control hahah and that makes sense, I'm only at a 100lbs sandbag at the moment so a full squat isn't too bad. I'm sure once I enter the god realm with y'all 200lb+ boys I'll need to go box

@@Cole205 hahah dang not gonna let me get away with matching the kilos instead 😁

Thank you!! Sitting at a little over 7k here so it's not TOO bad, but you feel it haha. It's awesome man, elk everywhere it's so cool

Hey the best part is you got over that injury man! Take it slow and the strength will come, those numbers a great!

185x25 is no joke man! Forcing 5 more reps every week or so and you'll be reppin sets of 50 in no time!!

@@thestonecircle Planning on progressing 5 pounds at a time till I'm at 220.

Thank you!! I've found the reps add up really quick if you stick with it, my first attempt with this weight a few months ago was only 30! If you can already do 20 I bet you could bring it up to 50 in no time if you wanted to :)

@@thestonecircle wow! challenge accepted! lol. Gotta just put in the time and be consistent. Like the old buddhist proverb says...."Chop wood, carry water". Really appreciate the content bro...keep it up

@@lphillips6204 oh man that really does hit home with these! I think that's part of why I like them so much. Daily life is all thinking about so many things at once all the time, but once you start that set of box squats, and accept it might take a full 10+ minutes, there's peace in the process. No room in the mind for anything else, just lift the sandbag, sit back down, repeat!

Hey I haven't weighed myself in a couple weeks (I was a dummy and packed the scale in a moving box, and it happens to be one of the few I still have sitting at the old place haha) I was up to 165 though! I tried to keep up the calories but I was moving all day every day for a good week there so it's possible I'm a bit lighter at the moment, but I'm still doing what I can to push the weight further!

@thestonecircle you are literally one of the most nicest fitness ytber on yt. Interacting with each of your commentators and spending your precious time answering them. Thank you ;))

@@Himanshu_Raj2008 Hey I'm honored you're here! :)

Hahah yes! There's actually this creepy little room under the stairs and the door likes to open on its own. Hopefully this display was enough to show the lil ghost who's in charge Also thank you!! Almost fully done, just a few things left to do at the old place!

@@thestonecircle haha showed that ghost what would happen - body slammed like a sandbag!

@@John1mperial hahah yes body slam right back into that little room!

Thank you!! Hahah their little bros and sisters that's so funny, I have these little sandbags that keep my light stands from falling over, and I always think of them the same way 😂

Thank you!! I wanted 80 but at that point I figured 100 just had to be done haha

We meet again!!

Oh man, elevation training everyday!

@@John1mperial Yes! I'm surprised I didn't feel it too much with these squats, besides I felt a bit more lightheaded at the end. With the circuits though dang, it was not pretty lol.

Damn pipe bursts where you just moved. Hopefully not to much damage. Higher elevation training with 100 reps with 2bills. I think it's safe to say your on a higher level

dang, sorry to hear about the oioes! way to adapt and still get it in, this session is awesome 🤯 *(the elevation variable is going to be interesting!)

Haha heck yeah dr density is the man!

You would know better than most!!

Hey I'm actually right there with you, I've been working on incorporating some more isolation/expander work recently. What's worked best for me is to keep the circuits the same, but cut the volume so you're progressing in the 10-20 minute range rather than 20-40, and follow it up with the other work. It's been working great for me! Also you could choose to just do two exercise circuits, but the endurance benefits won't be as good. Still a great way to train, but having at least 4 exercises in the circuit seems to work best for balancing muscle/cardio

@@thestonecircle Man thank you for the reply, it helps so much! My first 10-down attempt today took too long and too much out of me to do the rest of my sutff, so maybe I'll start with 5-downs for 20 mins like you suggested

@@mattbattaglia4694 hey for sure no problem! That's a great way to do it, starting closer to 20 minutes gives you a lot of room to improve moving towards 10 minutes too, it's crazy how much work you can get done in so little time!

Hey I'm really glad you liked this one!! I hope it helps too, training to be some kind of badass warrior is the best :)

Hey that's awesome! Really interesting about the sandbags improving footwork for fencing too, I think any kind of sword work is so cool :)
