Monday night.

Did 1100 steps, with 50lbs bag: Zercher and single shoulder carries.

The last time (which was first time recently), I did some with a 100lbs bag, and it wrecked my middle/upper back for about 4 days; easing into it this time.

Starting with 2 carry nights per week.

The carries will make you stronger. The day after mine a guy at work was followed me up some stairs. He asked if there was something wrong with me, I told him what I had done the night before. Of course he thought I was a total nut.
