Shoe notice question. What’s the best way to carry a 150# SB for run? If i can’t done a bag that big, I’ll add a vest. Ball bag at chest is not going to work for 200m. Thinking 150 i’ve a shoulder and run. Thoughts on this one? Karen?

If I’m reading this correctly, are you using a 150# ball, like a slam ball? I’d say a loose bag of sand could be put onto the shoulder but a ball would be challenging to balance while running. You would definitely need to use both hands to balance it. Just not 100% clear on what you are using.

I filled a sand bag up with every weight I could find and got it up there. It was still floppy but not so much that it would entirely lay smooth over my shoulder. Running with 150# on one shoulder was very hard on the core. I got about 50m and had to re-group.

I tried 100# ball bag at chest, w vest to add weight last week…the vest pushes the bag too far away from body, tough to get arms around if that makes sense??
